I've to be honest haven't heard about demisexuality before, I had a friend who was demisexual and I talked to him about the way I felt and my experiences, he pointed me into this direction and I did further research on this topic and that's ultimately how I got here ^^ What about you?

Never even heard the term until your post fell into my “all” feed browsing.

I'm glad to see that it spread ^^

You might want to add a description - or at least a link to what you think is the best one - to the “About” section of your community.

That's a good idea, I was thinking about it, but wasn't sure what to pick in the end, so I left it empty, but I've got an idea now. Thank you for the feedback!

I’m definitely not demisexual, but due to betrayals in my youth (most of which had nothing to do with sex) I don’t trust anyone I don’t know well enough to have any interest in attempting to pursue them no matter how “hot” they may be. If I don’t feel comfortable that I already know who you are well enough, then it’ll always be a “look, but don’t touch” response from me.

This community is specifically targeted towards people who are demisexual or which have questions in regard to it, nonetheless, I'm glad that you was brave enough to share your thoughts and feelings. I think there are many people out there who can relate and understand the way you feel in regard to trust. If you feel the need to, it might be beneficial to talk with someone you can trust about it if it's a burden to you.

Of course, I’ve been married for a good while so that’s another impediment added. I care too much about my spouse to risk it. Nonetheless, the above was already true before I found “the one.”

Just for clarification, people who're demisexual don't want necessarily sexual interactions with the person they feel sexual attraction to. This depends on the person, just like you. I'm glad you've found someone and I wish you the best for you and your relationship <3
