It's not just straight people, by far. I know demisexuals (I'm willing to use the word without quotes because I believe it's a valid identity, just not an orientation or something to act oppressed over) who are attracted to specific people of their own gender.

..being attracted to "specific people" of either/both genders is the DEFINITION of bi/homo/hetero-sexuality though. The only thing that doesn't fit under that is asexuality. Everyone on earth who isn't asexual is attracted to "specific people". I seriously doubt that anyone ever has actually in real life been attracted to EVERYONE.

I never said it wasn't? I'm just saying it's not just straight people who use the term demisexual to feel special.

But you're right, I should have said something other than "specific people" too, as it wasn't exactly what I meant. I should have said "people they know personally," instead of being able to be attracted to someone only by how they look. Again, I'm not trying to tell you it's not a special snowflake way to identify, I just don't get why everyone thinks only straight people use it.

I've seen people identify as "demi-sexual a-romantic" Try to get your head around how that's possible LOL

na

I'll play! According to my data this would mean they might get aroused by someone they like very much, but can't feel romantic feelings?
That's fuckbuddies to me.

Demisexual is someone who can't have sex with someone unless they have feelings for them. Being Aromantic, or demiromantic makes no sense given that!

Not quite: demisexual is someone who can't be sexually attracted to someone unless they have feelings for them (however you interpret that). You can have sex with someone without being sexually attracted to them.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-09 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Again, that isn't a sexuality. The majority of sexual people do not jump into bed with every person they see. The majority of the population who is not Asexual does indeed feel sexuality like you and your friends do.

You're clinging to a madeup term created by a fifteen year old livejournal Rper who wanted a special term for her RP character. You're so ridiculous, it's side-splittingly hilarious. I do feel pretty bad second hand embarrassment for you, though.

DA

Being attracted to someone =/= jumping into bed with them. I'm bewildered that so many people seem to think this. "The majority of the population" would only feel sexuality like demisexuals do if everyone were somehow obligated to have sex with everyone they were attracted to. Most people don't do that, so it's completely irrelevant to any discussion of demisexuality.

Demisexual doesn't mean monogamous. I'm monogamous, and am not demisexual. Demisexual doesn't mean "avoids casual sex." I've never had casual sex, and I'm not demisexual. Demisexual means does not experience sexual attraction to any person based on factors other than an emotional bond with the person in question. I think celebrities whom I have never met are hot, so I'm not demisexual. Why is this hard?
