BREAKING NEWS: DEMISEXUALITY AND GRAY-ASEXUALITY ARE REAL AND VALID IDENTITIES NESTLED SNUGLY UNDER THE ACE UMBRELLA ON THE SPECTRUM BETWEEN ASEXUAL AND ALLOSEXUAL

THIS JUST IN: IDENTITIES ARE A WAY TO CLASSIFY THE WAY YOU EXPERIENCE LIFE (SPECIFICALLY GENDER/SEXUALITY AND THE LACK THEREOF) AND FIND A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIMILAR LIFE EXPERIENCES

SHOCKING NEW BULLETIN: DEMISEXUALS AND GRAY-ASEXUALS ARE CLASSIFIED AS SUCH BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THEIR EXPERIENCE IS ASEXUALITY BUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE (UNDER SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES FOR DEMIS, MAYBE NOT FOR GRAYS) THEY FEEL SEXUAL ATTRACTION THEREFORE THEY DON’T FEEL THEY FIT UNDER ANY OTHER LABELS AND HAVE CREATED A COMMUNITY

TONIGHT AT 11: DON’T FUCKING SHIT ON DEMIS AND GRAYS IT’S OUR WEEK TOO YOU ATROCIOUS AIRPLANE VOMITBAGS

I think it’s likely that many, even most Americans would only have sex with people they feel emotionally connected to. I think that’s a fair assessment. But it isn’t a description of demisexuality. Demisexuality is about desire and arousal, not just sex and who you do it with. It’s not merely that I’m only interested in having sex with people that I love, it’s also that I feel a complete absence of desire or sexual feelings toward everyone else. Ever. What makes me demisexual is that absence. What makes me demisexual is that I’ve only ever been sexually attracted to three people in my whole life. My partner is sexually attracted to that many people during particularly sexy bus rides. And you can tell me that most of the population is like me, but I just don’t think you’re right.

Hi, I was wondering, how do you go about writing a character that’s demisexual/romantic?

thetrolliestcritic:

ALRIGHT SO.

Demisexual falls on the Asexual Spectrum. Essentially, demisexual people do not experience sexual attraction until they’ve developed a strong emotional connection with someone (typically when they’re in a relationship with them), but even then they still may not experience sexual attraction. It’s important to keep in mind that just because someone who’s demisexual is romantically involved with you, or has developed a strong bond with you, doesn’t mean they will definitely start experiencing sexual attraction towards you.

Demiromantic people experience what’s called “secondary romantic attraction”, which means that they sometimes are able to experience romantic attraction to people after they’ve created a close, personal bond with them. Again, sometimes, not always.
