'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an [[aspecAspec]] (specifically [[acespecAcespec|Ace-spec]]) orientation where one experiences sexual attraction to a person after they have developed an emotional connection to them. The connection can be romantic, platonic, or some other form of connection. What counts as a "close connection" can vary between demisexualsDemisexuals. 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 demisexualsDemisexuals may choose to further define their orientation in terms of genders they are attracted to (demiheterosexualDemiheterosexual, demibisexualDemibisexual). Others do not find this necessary, or feel that they have enough experiences of sexual attraction to figure out who they’re attracted to.
