[vethica]

Yeah, that's legit. Part of it is that that's just come to be the term people recognize, so that's what gets used. I've thought in the past that if it were called asexual with exceptions or something, it would probably not get people this upset.

[(Anonymous)]

I think calling it asexual would be even more incorrect, and would probably hurt the effort to validate asexuality as a unified concept. 'Demisexual' people are really just selectively sexual.

[vethica]

Now I'm confused. Why is "selectively sexual" a better label?

[(Anonymous)]

It's not a label at all, it's just a description of what that state of being is. If you experience sexual attraction, you are definitively not asexual, no matter how rare or conditional those instances of attraction are.

[(Anonymous)]

Out of curiousity, would you apply the same standard to other sexualities- ie, if a man ever experiences sexual attraction to another man, no matter how rare or conditional those instances are, he is no longer straight but bi? (Or vice versa for a lesbian experiencing rare and conditional attraction to a man?)

I just go with the Kinsey scale when it comes to sexual-orientation-based-on-bodies part. So, yeah they're bi. They're just down in the smaller percentile on the bottom.

I imagine there's a sexual interest scale as well to be had.

[(Anonymous)]

I am such a person, and I identify as bisexual, heavily leaning toward men. Just as demisexual is just sexual, heavily leaning toward emotional connection.

Because it's describing a strong preference* than claiming to be an orientation in its own right.

*this isn't perhaps the best word, but I couldn't think of anything better. Maybe fetish? Like someone who has a strong preference/fetish for blonde guys, but is straight.

[vethica]

That's a good comparison. I could get behind calling it an emotional closeness fetish, or whatever.
