Demiflectic

Demiflectic is a form of flectic attraction where one does not feel flectic attraction until an emotional bond has been established. The connection can be romantic, platonic, or any other form of bond. 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.

Demiflectic can be considered a flectic orientation on its own or can be combined with other orientations. For example, one could be demiflectic and biflectic (demibiflectic), meaning that when one does experience flectic attraction they can experience it towards two or more genders.

Etymology

Flectic is derived from the Latin root for flexible, flectere, or "to bend," as this attraction bends around the terms of the relationship and is flexible to the desires of both parties. It's also related to the word "reflect," because flectic attraction reflects the nature of a relationship.[1] Demi- is from the common prefix for demi attraction.

Pronunciation

"Deh-mee-fleck-tick"
