Demisensual

Demisensual.png


Demisensual is an aspec (specifically asenspec) orientation where one experiences sensual attraction to a person after they have developed an emotional connection to them. What counts as a "close connection" can vary between demisensuals. 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 demisensuals may choose to further define their orientation in terms of genders they are attracted to (demibisensual, demihomosensual, etc.). Others do not find this necessary, or feel that they have enough experiences of sensual 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.

History

The term demisensual, presumably, came after Demisexual and asensual/asenspec identities became more known.
