demiseksuaalsed

Demiseksuaalsed is a term used to describe individuals who only experience sexual attraction to someone after forming a strong emotional bond with them. This is different from other forms of attraction, where sexual feelings might arise without a pre-existing emotional connection. For a demisexual person, a deep emotional connection is a prerequisite for sexual attraction to develop.

The experience of demisexuality can vary greatly from person to person. Some may never develop sexual attraction, even with emotional bonds, while others may find that sexual attraction develops easily once a connection is established. It is not a choice or a preference, but rather an orientation. Demisexuality is often considered part of the asexual spectrum, as it involves a particular condition for sexual attraction to arise, rather than a general lack of it.

People who identify as demisexual do not necessarily lack romantic attraction. They can experience romantic attraction to others independent of whether they are also demisexual. However, the sexual component of that attraction will only manifest if an emotional connection is formed. The term is relatively recent, gaining wider recognition through online communities and discussions about sexual orientations.
