Demiattraction is an a-spec orientation defined as someone who does not experience all/some forms of attraction until they have formed a deep emotional connection with someone.
Some people who use the demiattraction label may feel no form of attraction until a deep emotional connection, or they may not feel some forms of attraction, for example one may feel physical attraction in an allo way, but may feel emotional attraction in a demi way. Or one may feel some tertiary attraction in a demi way and others in a allo or a-spec way.
The completely a-spec equivalent is anattractional.
