What is demisexuality?

Demisexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by the experience of sexual attraction only after forming a deep emotional bond with another person, rather than feeling attracted right away.

This means they don’t usually find someone appealing based on looks or other physical traits.

The term originated in 2006 on an asexuality forum and encompasses various sexual orientations, including heterosexual and homosexual identities.

While they are part of the Asexual Spectrum, demisexuals experience partial attraction compared to asexual individuals, who feel no sexual attraction at all.

Identifying as demisexual helps individuals connect with others who share similar experiences and provides a sense of community.
