'''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.
Line 9:
Demisexual can be a sexual orientation on its own or can be combined with other orientations. For example, one could be demisexual and [[polysexual]] ([[demipolysexual]]), meaning that when one does experience sexual attraction they can experience it towards multiple genders, but not all genders.
Demisexual may be considered a type of [[greysexual]] attraction, as well as a type of [[aliquasexual]] attraction (where one only experiences attraction under certain circumstances). [[Fraysexual]] is often described as the "opposite" of demisexual.
Counterparts to demisexual include [[demiromantic]], [[demiplatonic]], and [[demialterous]].▼
