These terms are pretty vague by design as there's no human out there that will always neatly fit in only one of those boxes. I consider myself a greysexual but mine is less random and more tied to emotional intimacy but not so much that I'd consider myself wholly demisexual
Demisexual is needing an emotional connection before sexual attraction, right? Forgive my ignorance - this is all new to me. I'm in my mid 30s and grew up in an era of "Labels are for soup cans" so we didn't even attempt to put words to our sexuality. It's honestly very comforting, though, to find that others have a similar experience.
Yep, you got it pretty much. Dasically for somebody who is demisexual, sexual attraction is a secondary attraction and it requires being attracted to the person in other ways.
TIL I'm demisexual. Thank you!
