What really is Demisexuality?
The the standard definition of ādemisexualā is āsomeone who only feels sexually attracted to someone they have close emotional bond with.ā Iāve also heard the description āit doesnāt exist, itās just called not being a hoe.ā
The latter belief comes from a misconception that āfeeling sexually attracted to someoneā and āactually wanting to have sex with someoneā are not the same thing.
I am a person who struggles to connect with and trust people in general. Because of this, I donāt like the idea of having sex with someone who I donāt feel emotionally safe with. But, despite this, I still have plenty of experience with feeling sexually attracted to celebrities and hot strangers. Due to this, I am definitely not demisexual.
Not wanting to have sex with people Iām not bonded with is an intention/belief.
Not having sexual attraction to a person one is not bonded with is an innate feeling.
So, yes, demisexuality does exist. Itās an actual sexuality, not just a practice.
