This argument isn't going to get much traction with me, because I am one of those people that share the "common experience" of being uninterested in sex with people I don't have romantic feelings for -- but my reasons for that lack of interest have nothing to do with not experiencing attraction to those people. I am fully capable of experiencing sexual attraction toward people who I don't want to pursue a sexual encounter with; that's how I know I'm not demisexual or whatever other label you're dismissing. But there are people who don't experience that attraction to begin with unless the romantic feelings are present. That experience is what we're talking about here, and ime, most people are more like me than like that.

And I'm sure people who only desire sex without any emotional connection exist, and they're just as different from you as 'demisexuals'. Maybe they need a label too. It would be equally meaningless.

We are sexual creatures. We then qualify our sexual experience with so-and-so conditions. None of us are special, even if said conditions are as strict as to become requirements.

We DO have a label for those people. Unfortunately, it's also a very bad word that shouldn't be USED to label people. Starts with S, rhymes with "glut".

I am in the "really, this doesn't need a special label" camp WRT people who only want to have sex once they form an emotional connection. Mostly because I really, really hate labels. But perhaps we should start calling "sex with everything hot without a connection" people, erm, pindropsexuals!

[darkmanifest]

That's actually not the word I've seen. The word is "aromantic [insert group]sexual". See? Everybody can have a special label for no apparent reason!

[vethica]

Thank you. I think this is something that a lot of people don't understand so I'm glad you made this comment. :)

[diet_poison]

This is a good comment.

It still leaves me wondering how the people who would qualify as "demisexual" are actually persecuted since pretty much nothing they actually do falls outside the realm of "normal" or "expected".

[vethica]

We're not. Anyone who says we are is very mistaken.

[diet_poison]

Fair enough. I have seen people make that claim, but not here. (Not tumblr either. I don't spend much time there.)

As far as I can tell, especially for women, demisexuality is lauded as the ideal by the general public.
