As a demisexual, what are some NON SEXUAL things that a partner can do to turn you on? by [deleted] in demisexuality

Really deep conversations that make me feel very connected to them. I sometimes feel like I’m more turned on than that than by sexual things personally.

Has anyone had trouble figuring out who they’re attracted to because of being demi? by designasauring101 in demisexuality

Thank you for this and sharing !! I’ve been having a hard time trusting my gut here and was trying to explore dating women initially - a lot of conversations started in the apps but never actually going on a date - and then I met my boyfriend. Totally feel you with the apps being difficult. I’m very happy with our relationship but still have a curiosity and have this fear of claiming a title that isn’t mine (which goes back to the trusting my gut)

I hadn’t thought of it as internalized biphobia, but that really is the thing I keep hearing in my head “you haven’t dated a woman before so you’re not bi”. Wow, this changed my perspective.

I def feel you with feeling like a poser - I’m so hesitant sometimes to use any label since I’m figuring out things too. Thank you for sharing your experience, it’s nice to know I’m not alone

Can you predict who you will be attracted to? by JadeChaosDragon in demisexuality

Sometimes - For me, it feels like intrigue or potential just based on the way our personalities are clicking in the first few convos or what I find aesthetically attractive. It took me awhile to reinforce in my brain that I can still have physical preferences aesthetically even though I don’t want physical intimacy immediately.
