Sexuality is a broad spectrum in which each person identifies differently.
Demisexuality is a little known sexual orientation that falls within the spectrum of asexuality.
Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to anyone, regardless of whether an emotional bond or a romantic relationship develops between the two. Demisexual people, on the other hand, can develop sexual attraction to others as long as an emotional bond is established first.
The difference that characterizes demisexual people is that forming a bond is mandatory, since their sexual stimulus is affective relationships, while for the rest of people who do not enter the asexual spectrum, wanting to form a relationship before having sex is optional.
However, having an emotional or romantic relationship with another person does not guarantee that demisexual people will experience sexual attraction.
The Salud Mapfre website collects statistics from an AVEN study (Network for Education and the Visibility of Asexuality) that explains the sexual preferences of the demisexual people interviewed:
- 30% feel sexual inclinations.
- 54% show indifference towards them.
- 16% say they feel repulsion
Sexuality is a broad spectrum in which each person identifies in a different way, since each one has preferences when developing emotional relationships and demonstrating their sexual attraction.
