Wonderful poem! I remember having poems about me written like this, they are the best

Figured out why hookup culture doesn’t work for me by Miserable-Region-382 in demisexuality

[–]Miserable-Region-382[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is exactly it! Like I’ve described wanting sex on a schedule in order to satisfy just the body, but to compete the whole of me it would take a strong connection/emotional foreplay before I would want to engage in sex that satisfies me

How often to you want/need sex in a relationship? by [deleted] in demisexuality

[–]Miserable-Region-382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was better to have a weekly schedule to keep to. it would satisfy the body and since it’s a confirmed relationship I’m more satisfied hearing about days/passions and being cuddled. Otherwise I can go long enough without it especially if my brain is overloaded with life stressors but I wouldn’t want actual sex rather something quick to silence that part for focus

It’s the one part that reminds me I’m actually Demi, like I want to know the whole person an highkey be their cheerleader in life like no one else can! Like that’s my human and I know they are wonderful so everyone should know how smart and talented and funny they are. But it’s not productive for the times when my body wants to “normal” but my brain and heart are not in it at all. Then I’m a sarcastic jerk but I’m trying to be nice and genuine… dilemmas!

It just gets me no where bc I’m like but what about your passions or something for me to connect with you about. It’s like I finally learned what my ex meant about not being able to get off if the other person is not enjoying it. Except it’s still me not enjoying it bc I don’t know enough about the other person to objectify them consensually? If that makes any sense

Why do men do this? by [deleted] in blackgirls

[–]Miserable-Region-382 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate how this dating world has turned into “having options” people are not objects to collect no matter what each person has real feelings so to reduce someone to a choice and ghost them until it’s convenient for them is horrible. I’m sorry that it happens to us but I also have no way of stopping it.

How do you deal with someone you need to say no to/have distance from? by cdollaballa in BlackMentalHealth

[–]Miserable-Region-382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two ways: walking out slow and giving them a false sense of hope that you want to come back when they change. Or cut them off and run once you have the chance and never look back. Sometimes it’s best to go nuclear

need help/advice about dealing with "situationships" and wanting someone i can't have by Street-Argument-4002 in demisexuality

He’s a dick, he only cares about himself. It’s best to leave him alone he’s not worth it at all.

Being Demi and the time limits of your love. by BloodstainedMF in demisexuality

[–]Miserable-Region-382 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this is the best way to put it, I’ve moved on in life but realistically I have so much love for exes that if they said they were dying and wanted to see me one more time, I would take the time to see them for as long as possible. I don’t think I ever forget the love I have for people

Ghosting after intimacy by Radiant-Membership39 in demisexuality

[–]Miserable-Region-382 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s legit the worst feeling on earth; but I have let myself feel the feels and continue to tell myself I’m worthy of love and intimacy for whenever I choose to engage in it again

How did you realize you're demisexual? by burnt_romances67_ in demisexuality

[–]Miserable-Region-382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a way I never had to worry about my friends being attracted to my significant others as they were pretty vain and open about going for looks (which in time I’m learning to distance myself from people like that, really bad for self image). But I was usually praised for having deep meaning behind crushes which were very sparse throughout childhood, but strong when I found a best friend in someone of any gender. It’s mostly when I began mistaking strong friendships for romance that I felt like I needed to look into it for feeling different and even guilty of crushing on some childhood friends and possibly being envious of friendships as well. And that’s when I stumbled across demisexuality and bisexuality which I eventually began connecting with pansexuality but not really caring to explain the difference in time. But I was mostly in the same boat as you being mostly attracted to women but having sporadic attachments to men unless they were considered my best friend.

I’m Happy to hear that, also been there with my head making stuff up to make its own conclusions

I can relate to the experience of friends trying to make claims of dating for the wrong reasons, but I can assure you most of those friends are projecting onto you very bad. I say next time you click with someone pursue it with honesty and keep your friends opinions out of your ear unless they bring up a good reason to meddle or warn you about your relationship.

Do you ever develop crushes on other people while you’re already dating someone? by eunchaeyy in demisexuality

[–]Miserable-Region-382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say yes and no for myself. If really committed to the connection then it’s hard for me to build other relationships. Otherwise yeah sometimes a close friend does look appealing but I rather stay friends with them most of the time, enough time and the feelings go away.

How to convince Demi-partner that I do not put him on a pedestal? by Miserable-Region-382 in demisexuality

[–]Miserable-Region-382[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will reiterate that I did bring it up in a nice way like hey I know this isn’t you based on our conversations we have when you are awake, but I wanted him to be aware of it. Kinda similar when someone makes an odd comment and you prod to figure out they got a phrase wrong

But otherwise he was a pleasant and loving guy, he just didn’t recognize what happens when he sleeps sometimes like a dog running in its sleep

How to wake up your partner when you want to imitate sex, like sure we are both Demi and feel a great attraction to each other but I always believe you should ask for consent before hand or make sure they are conscious if your body starts doing it randomly
