Demiplatonic can be an orientation on its own or can combined with other orientations. For example, one could be demiplatonic and [[gay]], meaning that when one does experience platonic attraction it's only towards people of the same gender.

Demiplatonic is an Aspec (specifically Aplspec) orientation where one experiences platonic attraction to a person after they have developed an emotional connection to them. What counts as a "close connection" can vary between Demiplatonics. 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.

Some Demiplatonics may choose to further define their orientation in terms of genders they are attracted to (Demiheteroplatonic, Demipomolatonic, etc.). Others do not find this necessary, or feel that they have enough experiences of platonic attraction to figure out who they’re attracted to.

Etymology

The prefix demi- means "half" or "partial". The prefix is also used in words such as demigod.

Pronunciation
