and what's the difference between demisexual and aromatic ?
Demisexuals DO engage in romantic relationships. We do fall in love, in fact, if we don't then we can't have a relationship itself (either romantic or sexual, although there are many who can engage sexually it depends on the individual).
demisexual sounds better than bi and pan in my opinion i really agree with this comment
Throw me in a river, I looked at your comment and my first thought was, "they smell nice". my brain filter is broken
we demisexuals actually dont love all the genders. you can be demisexual AND straight, for example.
in my case i am pansexual AND demisexual at the same time, so he can probably be bi or pan AND demi.
another thing that i think is important to say. pansexuals CAN have gender preferences, because the real difference between bi and pan is the historical context.
sorry for my bad english
*slams hands on table* DEMISEXUAL HEAD CANNON ACCEPTED
Your usefull comments helped me understand these differences better so thank you very much ! ;)
Lmao
THIS IS WHAT I WAS GOING FOR ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
I'm happy that's the case! I'm not an expert but I have been researching to find... well, myself!
We don't love all genders but WE CAN. In this case, you probably mean demiromantics and not demisexuals because... demisexuality IS the sexuality. If you're straight or bisexual, then that means you're demiromantic. This is what my... well, sexual counselor stated and my own research as well.
But hey, if you define yourself as both that's fine? I mean, sexuality isn't strict and as long as you're okay with it that it's all good. I'd suggest looking more deeply into it if you wish!
Pansexuals CAN have preferences, like everyone, but they're the most flexible out of all sexualities. That's the reason most pansexuals label themselves as such... from experience and research.
Your English is good! Don't worry!!! English isn't my first language either :) thank you for your comment!
Well, all I'm glad is that you think positively of us demisexuals so thank you :)
I still haven't wrapped my head around pansexuals but your comment has made it roll further along the road of understanding. I am somewhere on the ace spectrum myself (I hope demi but well, I only get squishes,) and maybe it's because I can't picture their feelings.
As for our friend Aenon, he has a real mature head about it. I guess he combatted being hooked up for so long and his older sister's downright refusal had a play in his understanding of how relationships work. Instead of worrying over it, he's just like "Wherever he goes, I want to be there." That is hella romantic.
I happy to see that i was able to help you even a little bit <3
Wait wait wait I'm confused now, what's the difference between demisexual and demiromantic ?????
Demiromantic is focusing on the romance spectrum, basically romantic feelings. Love, like, tenderness, affection... which doesn't rely on the sexual aspect of a relationship. Demisexuality, in this case, covers the sexual aspect of how you feel. Sexual attraction and such.
The spectrum for romance is basically aromantic, demiromantic and romantic people.
For sexuality you'd expect asexuals, demisexuals, then the rest of the sexualities (bisexuals, homosexuals, heterosexuals...)
An example could be someone who is bisexual but defines as demiromantic as well. Someone can be both demiromantic and demisexual, like me! Someone else could be demisexual, but aromantic. It's quite free in the spectrum so you can always take your time learning about it.
YES! I personally love and enjoy Aenon's growth as a character and seeing sides of him even himself wasn't necessarily aware of but IS now. His train of thought is how mine usually goes when it comes to love. It's beautiful really, seeing a character developed and shown just like this :')
I know I know, what's the point even? Just labeling him bisexual or pansexual is fine and all.
But you see, there are clear signs he's probably demisexual instead. It's quite selfish of me to state so, but I'd like to believe there are more demisexual characters than we give credit for┗( T﹏T )┛for my own peace of mind.
1. Aenon fell for Yuri's personality, first and foremost. He, not even once, considered his gender to fall/not to fall for her.
2. I KNOW! You're probably thinking "then he's pansexual, they only care about personality right?" THE THING IS- we demisexuals also fall for our partners regardless of gender, but what differentiates pansexuality and demisexuality is THE BOND. We're unable to like/fall for people like everyone else (it's frustrating really). I might know someone for years, like them to a certain extent, but because an emotional bond was never there we can't like them romantically/sexually. Pansexuals do not experience such walls, they're able to like people after knowing them... in my case, even if I do, there's a big chance I'll NEVER come to like them...
3. It wasn't UNTIL falling for Yuri and acknowledging it, that he thought about her gender. So, pansexuals in this case do NOT mind the gender. Not before, not during, not after. In the sense that, no matter the gender, they'll still be able to hold a relationship with said person. In demisexuals case, WE DO MIND. We have our preference like everyone else, but because what catches our attention is personality... we do have our moments of doubt regarding gender. I myself prefer men over women, but I've still been attracted to women several times. And it wasn't until I ACKNOWLEDGED that I liked them, that I understood they were female and not male.
Thank you for reading my pointless comment, you're free to believe him to be anything! Because assuming sexuality is rude... but since I do believe him to be a fellow demisexual I wanted to state why I assume so. Most people don't know demisexuality exists so (〜￣△￣)〜
