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