mikaela.lynn98 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi guys! So I have been out of the closet for 3 yearrs now as a lesbian. But I have never felt sexually attracted to someone, I just thought that I was weird and I lived with it. All of that women that I have been with I have enjoyed sex with, but I never was sexually attracted to them in the beginning, only when I got to know them better and knew them on a very personal level. It basically fits the definition of demisexual, so I really think that I am. I came from a very closeted home town and I just started college. I have been going to my college's LBGTQ+ meetings and something clicked. I believe that I am demisexual. HOWEVER, I have always thought that I was intereseted in women or female aligned people. But, I've been looking up many things about being demisexual and I am very confused. I thought maybe I could be homoromantic demisexual, but is that a thing???? Can I identify as that? Or am I just demisexual who is prefers female aligned people? I am very confused, I really don't like male aligned people in that way, I'm not interested in having a romantic relationship with them. I am just very confused and would like some help before I make myself crazy. Thank you!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 yes, homoromantic means romanticaIIy attracted to peopIe of the same gender as yourseIf, and demisexuaI means you onIy desire sexuaI interractions with those peopIe once a deep bond has formed (which happens very rareIy and usuaIIy takes months to years for it to actuaIIy quaIify as demisexuaIity) :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ruru+Saphhy=Garnet Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I agree with panvictovore. You can be a homoromantic demisexual. Romantic attraction and sexual attraction's two different things.For example, My sexual orientation is asexual, but my romantic orientation is , besides being gray-lith,is androromantic (attracted to masculine presenting people) Ultimately, you can identify any way you wish to. If you feel that the term "homoromantic demisexual" fits you 100%, then by all means, identify as such. If not, that's okay. Labels are only important if you want them to be. :) Good luck.
