[[File:Demiflag.png|thumb|220x220px|The demisexual flag.]][[File:Alternate demisexual flag.png|thumb|Alternate demisexual flag]][[File:Alternate demisexual flag (2).jpg|thumb|Another alternate demisexual flag.]]'''Demisexual''' is a sexual orientation on the [[asexual spectrum]] defined as someone who does not experience [[sexual attraction]] until they have formed a deep emotional connection with someone. The connection can be [[Romantic Attraction|romantic]], [[Platonic Attraction|platonic]], or some other form of connection. What counts as a "close connection" can vary between demisexuals. Forming an emotional bond with someone does not mean that one is automatically attracted to said person, as it just means there's now a possibility for one to feel attraction. |

It is important to distinguish between typical sexual attraction to friends and romantic partners, and demisexuality, which implies that there would be no sexual attraction to anyone unless a close relationship is established. Being sexually attracted to one's close friends does not necessarily mean that one is demisexual. An already existing relationship is the only way a demisexual person would be able to experience sexual attraction. |
