Demirose + Psychiamoric
Demirose is a term used to describe those who don’t experience sexual and romantic attraction until a deep emotional bond with someone is formed first. In short, people who are both demisexual and demiromantic. The term is a portmanteau of demisexual and demiromantic, with the prefix demi- meaning half.
Color Meanings-
Black Triangle: Asexuality and Aromanticism
White Stripe: Emotional bonds
Dark-Light Purple Stripes: Development of sexual attraction
Dark-Light Green Stripes: Development of romantic attraction
Rose: For the puns
Psychiamoric is a term used to describe or refer to the attractions of those who are demisexual, demiromantic, or both (demirose). The prefix psychi- comes from the Greek goddess of the soul Psyche, and amor from the Latin word for love. Color Meanings-
Purple Stripes: Demisexuality + Demiromanticism
White Stripe: Emotional bonds, community
Butterfly: Psyche can also mean butterfly in Greek, and Psyche is sometimes drawn with butterfly wings. Butterflies can also represent transformation- in this case, the transformation from no attraction to attraction.
Note: I chose Psyche due to the myth of her and Eros implying that she didn’t fall in love with anyone until him, and they spent time getting to know each other. A source for this is the second section of this article. Also, Psyche was stated to be even more beautiful than the goddess of beauty and was the goddess of the soul- which can be interpreted as the soul being more beautiful than the outside appearance. To me, this fits being demi, as no primary attraction (appearance) is experienced, but we do experience secondary attraction (developing over time).
