Sexuality Image - Demisexual - Sexuality
A demisexual individual can be defined as someone who is male, female, within the spectrum or as non-binary. Unlike gay or lesbian individuals who feel sexual attraction towards people of the same gender, a demisexual individual only feels attraction where there is a deep emotional or romantic connection. Any connections formed can be with a person from inside or outside the gender spectrum, the same or opposite gender as their own. Whenever a demisexual person has not developed a romantic or emotional relationship, they will likely be considered more asexual, meaning they have little to no sexual desire or attraction

Whenever a demisexual person has not developed a romantic or emotional relationship, they will likely be considered more asexual, meaning they have little to no sexual desire or attraction.
