demisexual culture is having lots of fictional crushes because you feel like you really know them via the story but not really finding a lot of irl people attractive…

What exactly would you consider a strong emotional connection?

What if you slowly get to know someone, but from the very beginning you feel like you know their soul; before even becoming romantically attracted to them. Does a strong emotional connection necessarily correlate with how well you know someone?

Hm. I think it differs for everyone. Some people may bond over things they've done together, or things that they've both experienced, even if they were separate.

Feeling like you know someone's soul before even being romantically attraction, I think that's good footing for a bond to grow between people.

Also, a strong emotional connection doesn't have to correlate to how well you already know someone. You can have known something for a day and discovered something that forms that bond or you can have known someone for years until that bond forms. Like, it's definitely more common for these bonds to take years, but I can sometimes see someone doing something that I do all the time, and I form a bond with them (not a strong one thank god but I have noticed it.)

all in all, I really think it varies. What's important is that that bond is there. It can take days, or years. But once it's there, it's there. and I think that's what's important <3

Is She Demi Or Is She Just Introverted??

(to the tune of ‘Is He Gay or European’)

Like. The biggest tell I feel like is how I fancrush. Multiple times I’ll start a show and someone who’s seen it already will tell me ‘oh this guy’s your type’ only for me to say ‘nah he’s too old/pretty/whatever, I’m not into him.’ Then we get three seasons in and lo and behold: I would die for this man.

Also dating in general is super frustrating for me. I just. I don’t know, can’t get anything to stick? Also not helping that I’ve been stuck on one guy for like three years now. Is that a Demi thing, too? Maybe I’m just super awkward and can’t talk to guys except in my own fanfic lollllllll

Is this even an ask there’s no clear question I have for you I’m sorry ‘XD

It's all good! Actually, my fancrushes were what made me realize I was demisexual too! And boy oh boy, getting stuck on that one person is just a mood. so yeah, big mood in both cases, lovely!

hi um i think i may be demisexual? how do i know lol

Hi there, dear anon!

Well, does your attraction to other people stem from having an emotional connection to them? Do you find yourself attracted to someone less for their face and body and more for the way you've bonded with them?

Or, in my case, I tend to fall for people who are good with kids, or who are kind all around. (this is a a very vague approximation) Is there something like that, a little trigger for your attraction?

I'll also put this out for other people in the community to add to as well!

Demisexual culture is wanting to date but also never wanting to date. It's expected of you. You're willing to give things a go but when attraction fails to activate, you're left with breaking things off so you're not wasting their time. Then you're left feeling horrible like you've just been doing this to screw around with your now ex partner's feelings. TMI but one of my first got suicidal after I broke it off. To me, it was the result of you don't feel anything now but "just give it a chance".

Demisexual culture.

Demisexual culture is having someone unambiguously prove prove their safety to you before you fall madly in love with them.

Hello, just wanted to know your thoughts on this...(sorry if this is too confusing you don't have to respond)

So I'm demisexual but does this mean I'm also asexual? Also if I'm in a queer platonic relationship but then enter a romantic relationship does this mean I'm polly or do I just need to communicate with my qpr and end sexual relations with them?

Sorry if this is worded horribly, I'm still tying to figure this all out.

So, being demisexual means you're on the asexual spectrum. So you can identify as asexual if you want to!

as for your relationship question. communicate with everyone involved, and come to an agreement with everyone. What you do from there is not something I have a say in, but I will always stress the importance of communication.

No worries, your wording is fine!

Hello! This is simply a question about labels. I identify as both Demisexual and Demiromantic, and I recently saw a term “Demian” or “Demi aro-ace”. I was wondering if that just refers to someone like myself, who is both Demisexual and Demiromantic, or if it means something else entirely. Thanks so much, I love this blog and community around it!

So, I went ahead and did some quick research, just a few minutes of it, and from what I can see...

Yes! that term applies to people who are both demisexual AND demiromantic! Both of those terms seem too.

Of course, I will encourage you to do your own research when you have time, but from the research I've done (I'll link the sites below), it does appear to be the case!

site one: https://www.lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Demian

site two: https://aminoapps.com/c/lgbt-1/page/item/demian-demi-aroace/BQ4p_GxRHmIzwY1mzJLlLokNzm8p5q6PMmN

these are the only helpful sites I could find so far, but if I find anymore, I will reblog this post and add them!

Demisexual culture is dating someone you're romantically attracted to for a while, and then having it dropped on you like a ton of bricks that you finally feel sexual attraction to them and having to tell them that you wanna get physical

demisexual culture is!

Demisexual culture is feeling incredibly seen when discovering your demisexuality and then immediately getting an impostor syndrome after forming a bond and experiencing that sexual attraction, because what if I'm a fake aspec.
