Demissexuality is not a sexuality, it's just normal part of a relationship

That's their opinion, and this is just your opinion. It's special to the people who feel that way, and that's all that counts to them. I don't see why you need to make a thing of this.

Honestly OP, I could not agree more! See my reply to Rose to hear about my knucklehead coworker. When I first heard what it meant to be demisexual I thought "Isn't that like 99.5 percent of people?" Its so common that its redundant. I have never met anyone irl who is NOT demisexual based on the definition you provided. It's like having a special name for people with 10 fingers and 10 toes.

I partly agree. I need to have a strong bond with someone before I feel comfortable enough to be intimiate but I don't refer to myself as demisexual. I can see why people have labeled that a sexuality though as it's (from my understanding) more common especially nowadays that people have sex before they form a bond with someone, or have sex without ever forming a bond with that person. People use Tinder for one night stands everyday, and a lot of people take it as a personal insult if you don't wanna have sex around the third date.

Most of these "sexualities" are entirely made up, bruh. People are so desperate to be special while being utterly lazy fuckwits that instead of going out and DOING something special, like the many people famous for their contributions in society, they'd rather take the easy route and do the, "I'm special because I'm ____Sexual" rather than, "I'm special because I've achieved ______".

Just refuse to even aknowledge nonsense people spit out nowadays and that's really all you can do.

honestly if they feel that they want to label themselves like that then they should be allowed to. it is just that they don't see a stranger and go "ooh I want to date them"

Why would u be in a relationship before bonding with someone like

personally i think that the phenomenon of people creating and searching for ever-branching and hyper-specific 'identities' based around gender and sexuality to identify themselves with is a reflection of the culture at large that has become completely subsumed by the logic of consumerism and advertising. 'identities' are more or less products that one acquires at will in order to support ones ego and sense of self in response to alienation.

with this in mind, it is my opinion that the obsession with categorization and delineation in regards to sexuality and gender is ultimately a spook - a distraction and red herring that ultimately leads to the obfuscation of peoples ability to meaningfully communicate with each other. despite that, the people retain the right to shop around for niche descriptions of themselves, even if i happen to consider it naïve and more of an obstacle to better understanding themselves.

and yes, what they call demisexuality...i'd wager that it is probably the default for a vast subset if not majority of people in the world.

You are a regular person, like many of us.

Though labels can be annoying, it's like the cliffnotes to life; it's just something that's best to get use to rather than fight against it.

As for sexuality, ugh... there's so many nowadays. However, demisexuality is something I can get behind, since I am one myself. The reason why demisexuality is a thing is due to the psychology/science of attraction and typical relationship progression. Most relationships start with lust. Some people like to call it love at first sight, but it's lust. The science behind it is the neurotransmitters that release, giving us a heighten sense of pleasure when around this person, increases the chances of us mating and reproducing (even if it's with the wrong person). This is why Tinder is a thing and so successful. Lust is such a crucial part in our attraction and mating process to the point that sex is the cornerstone to almost every relationship, and can even be the very thing that can break the bond due to receiving too much of or too little.

Along with asexuals, we demisexuals are the odd ducklings, not special, just odd. Both our groups don't release those neurotransmitters when faced with a person many would think is sexually attractive and would immediately pursue due to their appearance, and it's hard for others to understand that. Many of us love having sex, but just don't have those urges to have it with people we barely know and feel nothing for just because they look appealing, which is common sense for us, but not for many others who follow the typical rules of attraction. In my opinion, I think it's more annoying for men, because if they're not visibly lusting over a girl, they're automatically called gay; while demisexual women are seen as hard to get or stubborn/prudish.

At the end of the day, just do what's comfortable for you, and ignore those who say otherwise. Plus, mating for life is natural; wolves do it, certain species of birds do it, and certain humans do it naturally.
