demisexuals actually a thing tho

i agree that its been taken to ridiculous lengths by tumblr but there is a genuine thing that fits the demisexual description (ie. only experiences sexual attraction as a subset of strong romantic feelings) and for the most part it falls under the asexual label

hating them doesnt make them not exist

[(Anonymous)]

it exists

it's called nearly everyone

[(Anonymous)]

nah

there are a lot of people who can have one without the other

Your sexuality is who you're attracted to, not how much or in what way. That part crosses all sexualities and doesn't make you special, let alone require a label.

[(Anonymous)]

and literally no one gives a shit.

the demisexual label is utterly pointless because it's not a sexuality, it's literally "i don't experience attraction/love at first sight" aka "i'm like most people but being normal is uncool so i'm going to use the modern day equivalent of "i'm not like these other sluts""
and even if you don't use it to mean that it's still not an actual identity that absolutely requires a label. no one in the history of ever has been oppressed for being "demisexual", especially when "don't bang random people off the street" is a big thing in most major religions

besides, it has shit-all to do on the "asexual spectrum." it's way more logical to put it on the sexual spectrum

No, that's not how demisexual works. People who aren't demisexual are going to experience physical attraction from the get-go. That's just how it works. Not acting on it is what's different. Demisexuals literally do not experience any physical attraction until a strong emotional bond is formed.

The only one slut-shaming is you because you can't stand the idea that you have a degree of physical attraction to people who may want to date.

>People who aren't demisexual are going to experience physical attraction from the get-go.

you don't actually know any people in real life, do you?

[(Anonymous)]

No, I know people in real life. You're going to experience a degree of physical attraction. You think your SO is attractive, right? That's. That's what physical attraction is.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not always physically attracted to everyone I meet that I'd like to date. Sometimes that's something that develops over time. I'm not anywhere near asexual and I would have never had thought to come up with a special word for this before tumblr came around. A lot of people who are heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual are like this. It's really not that uncommon. Maybe some sort of weird societal pressure makes you think having a sexuality means you want sex all the time and you experience attraction instantly, but I promise you it doesn't work that way.

[(Anonymous)]

Attraction =/= wanting to have sex all the time, jesus CHRIST what is with you and thinking that attraction means you want sex right the fuck now? Libido and attraction are separate goddamn things.

Learn about psychology and biology, please, because you obviously don't know how it works.

lol

demisexuals are straight white girls who desperately want to feel oppressed like the minorities they fetishize. the end.

and i don't always drink beer, but when i do i drink dos equis.

"Not acting on it is what's different. Demisexuals literally do not experience any physical attraction until a strong emotional bond is formed."

Lmao oh my god. Surprise: that's NORMAL. Ffs this is tumblr overreacting to bogus social expectations wrt sex and attraction anyway so why don't you stop making up names for normal human behavior and realize the intense focus our society has on simultaneously having and not having sex is dumb as fuck. You're just like the goddamn rest of us.

only a total pedant that we find in fandom spaces actually cares this much about this hair splitting

i can promise you the majority of people don't give a shit, and your label is useless

>besides, it has shit-all to do on the "asexual spectrum." it's way more logical to put it on the sexual spectrum

i really don't get all these ace 'sexualities' that all boil down to "i only want to have sex sometimes and with certain people"

y'all know that wanting to have sex means you aren't asexual, right?

[(Anonymous)]

that's

most people? like yeah you can find someone hot or get a boner or whatever but there's a difference between 'this person is hot' and 'i want to actively pursue having sex with this person.'

and some people do fuck on the first date or try to pick up girls on the street but that's not most people.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the idea is that you don't even find someone hot or get a boner. You just don't think about it until you get to know them.

demisexuality is not a fucking real sexuality. it's a slut-shaming way of wannabe snowflake girls striking back at the oversexualized media they assume represents real people because they're sheltered idiots with no real life experience. i wouldn't care about all this if people kept it to themselves, but they have tried to co-op the struggles of real LGBT people. and the fact this has permeated so much of fandom from the way people enjoy canons they like, to art, to fanfiction, and our discourse pisses me off so much.

sexuality is about who you are attracted to, not how much or how little. if you are a "demisexual" who is only attracted to men after you get to know them better, guess what? You Are Fucking Straight. The fact you want a ring on it and a special candlelit honeymoon before you feel invested enough to have sex doesn't change the fact that you are attracted to men. if you are someone who is attracted to the same sex/gender as yourself or both, then congratulations you actually are queer even if you are also an idiot for assuming being a demisexual is part of that.

even asexuality does not count as a sexuality if it is are not the "have no attraction to anyone whatsoever" definition because again, sexuality is about WHO YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO, not the degree to which you feel attraction or sexual desire.

being demisexual does not negatively impact your life in any meaningful way that isn't a fabrication of your own mind. you are not shunned, threatened with death, or told by millions of people in your own country or around the world that your soul will burn in hell. you do not have public policies designed to disenfranchise you, deny you basic human rights, or make what you were born as a criminal offense that can get you prison time or DEATH.

shut the fuck up about being demisexual like it puts you on par with people who really do suffer in this world when the most you have to deal with for being one is that you might get annoying questions or a mocking word or two.

fucking thank you

if you're straight, it's okay, stop wanting to be oppressed because tumblr made you think it's va way to act like a self righteous asshole about dumb fandom shit

+100000

[(Anonymous)]

bless you based anon tbh i feel this applies to asexuals as well nothing aggravates me more than an asexual claiming they suffer the same level of oppression as a black queer transgirl does

no one is oppressing you for not having sex they're not going to beat you on the street for being asexual they'll likely give you a weird look and move on because WHO FUCKING CARES

[(Anonymous)]

and if they do it's not because you're ace or demi, it's because you're female and they think they have a right to your body

it's not less horrible for non-ace women to be harassed just because they like sex sometimes jfc

[(Anonymous)]

listen. anon. i used to think demisexual was a thing too.

but "demisexuality" was LITERALLY made up by some kid on an rp forum. it does not exist. it is not a legitimate thing. it was fucking made up.

say it with me: demisexuality was made up by some kid on a forum. it does not exist.

and shakespeare made up a ton of words we still use today

words are made up all the time, that doesn't make a word not valid

otherwise you can't use words like assassin anymore

[(Anonymous)]

hehe. assassin.
ass as sin. your butt's a sin.
