(Vocabulary) Are you demisexual?

If I'm wrong, prove people are demisexual.

That is a rather silly challenge. There are people there that claim that they are not physically attracted to people until they get emotionally involved. (That's the definition)

Prove that people are homosexual.

no it's actually the basis for why I don't buy this as an actual sexuality. It requires me to believe what people tell me it cannot be verified otherwise.

so anyone could claim to be demisexual, so if it means anyone can be demi sexual or just by claiming to be then it has no real meaning that's the point I'm making.

Prove that people are homosexual.

You can prove that people are homosexual. You can measure arousal at certain stimuli.

you can prove that they are bisexual or heterosexual the same way. There have been studies using these methods.

I have just added a new word to my vocabulary: demisexual.


I wanted to pass it on in case you do not know its meaning.


The source says: "A demisexual person simply does not feel attraction until after a strong emotional bond has formed."

And: "Demisexuality presents the challenge of never feeling any sexual feelings at all until you've experienced many months of platonic friendship."

P.S. "Amy" emphasizes that demisexuality is MORE "than merely being 'old-fashioned' and courting for long periods before having sex."

I guess I form strong emotional bonds in minutes when I'm feeling "frisky"!

Dude, it's ok. Erectile dysfunction will eventually affect all guys. Good for you for admitting it!

Well if any guy would know his way around erections and dysfunction it would be you. Your forum posts on the subject are truly enlightening. How one such as yourself requires such knowledge of other males erections is truly a life saver for low T males everywhere.

Does the source indicate if this is an 'either/or' trait?

I've been attracted to men immediately and I've developed that same attraction to men that I've gotten to know better over time and developed a strong emotional bond with.

Dude, you're the one who brought up your reduced testosterone issues. If you don't want anyone else discussing it don't open the door. Good thing there are other ways for conservatives to make sure their spouses are satisfied. One of the best gifts conservatives can give their wives on Valentines day is a night with with a handsome, gentlemanly, uninhibited progressive dude. Conservative guys - she'll thank you for it!
 
I knew a prostitute who was semisexual.She hung out around truck stops

I coined a term to describe my sexuality. My son was telling me what 'metro-sexual' meant (with much eye-rolling condescension, I might add) so I told him I must be 'retro-sexual'.

It ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE BEING NORMAL.
 
CLAX1911 said:
No, I can doubt it without literally calling anybody anything.

Prove people are demisexual with more than just claims.
Click to expand...

I think you yourself make a good point - there's ways of testing this via sexual arousal measurement. Until those studies are done, I'm not going to stick my head in the sand and go "THIS IS A MADE UP THING THAT ISN'T REAL".

And yes, if you are literally telling someone that what they feel, you're "doubting", then you're still calling them a liar. "What you feel is made up". Really?

If you choose to not believe someone when they tell you this is how they feel and who they are, then that's your prerogative. They have the right to roll their eyes and tell you you're an idiot.

Is it normal for someone to not ever feel sexual attraction at all until there's an emotional connection?

Sure, they can ridicule me for not believing blindly.
 
CLAX1911 said:
sure it's a thing a lot of words describe things. Like unicorn leprechaun or the Easter Bunny.

I'm saying I doubt the existence of what it describes.

You're more than welcome to prove it to me since I'm not the one claiming this thing exists the burden would be on you.

And if it's anybody who just calls themselves dimisexual then I'm a magical dragon.

of course not. Things are determined to exist based on their representation in the real world.

If I were to claim unicorns exist you would say yeah right show me a unicorn.

What I'm saying to you is show me a dimisexual

and I mean one that fits the definition in the o p not just a person who claims to be. Again I can claim to be a magical dragon and therefore dragons exist.

Did you type that a person who identifies as demisexual doesn't qualify as proof that demisexuality exists? Jesus ****ing christ. Where do these people come from?
 
CLAX1911 said:
So aside from self-identifying you don't really know? That was my point.

Slap any prefix you want onto the suffix sexual and anyone can claim to be that because if it doesn't describe an actual observable Behavior it can apply to everyone or no one.

Then where do you get off claiming to be a heterosexual (another imaginary word according to your uneducated standard) when you touch yourself? Do you really not realize how stupid you sound?

Heterosexual Behavior can be observed in the animal kingdom. Dimisexual doesn't describe Behavior.

Again people can identify as being mediums. So I can guess those people must exist and they really do talk to the dead.
 
CLAX1911 said:
OK people can identify as psychics so I guess those must exist too.

Hey! I am a psychic. I tell women the man they are with is a sad settlement choice, the man they want barely knows they exist. They are shocked that I can see this in my Magic 8 Ball.
