what is doubly absurd about the perceived need for this 'demisexual' category is that by definition it seems to argue that it is somehow in opposition to the norm. i don't know if that means that 'demisexuals' think that one night stands and promiscuity are the norm, but either way, statistically, the vast majority of americans have had 10 or less sexual partners in their lifetimes, skewed mostly to the less than 5 category. i can't securely infer a direct correlation between this trend and having a 'strong bond' with their partner but i would personally wager that it indicates the normalcy of sexual relations being related to bonds (whether emotional, marital or otherwise).
No it means they wont be checking out people becuase they have a nice butt or nice legs or nice boobs or nice body. They are not attracted unless they already have a bond with the person. Which this thing is advertised and pushed as the norm in much of western culture.
Agreed. Also you brought up another issue and that is just how difficult these terms are to define. Like what does having to have a "strong bond" first even mean? How do you measure how strong the bond is? When you have these subjective identities it kinda makes them pointless because anyone can be them. Anyone in this world could identify as demisexual so does it really mean anything if someone is demi? No!
Demissexuality is not a sexuality, it's just normal part of a relationship
