I’ve been Demisexual since I first watched Striptease as a teenager.

Bisexual - You’re over 35
Pansexual - You’re under 35
Omnisexual - You’ve spent way more time thinking about your sexuality than getting laid
Sapiosexual - You’re a straight guy trying to seem cool and intellectual

Huh, I’ve only ever heard women describe themselves as sapiosexual

Updated!

Honestly I think you’re giving them too much credit to say they’re doing it to avoid messages. It’s the same weird virtue signalling in both cases. “Not like the other girls,” etc.
It’s inventing a sexuality because you think it makes you sounds smart. Ooohh physical attraction is for losers, I’m only attracted to BRAINS. I can’t help but think these people would still shy away from an ugly genius

I like to call it “millenial” vs “gen z” pan/bisexuality
Mesophar@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
I’m pansexual, solidly a millennial, and started using the term nearly a decade and a half ago. Which was late to the game, since the term had been around for about a decade before that.

Swear I heard it late nineties

Under what does someone fall, who regularly forgets that sex exists, immune to flirting, needs external reminders/influence and effort to get in to the mood, cant wrap their head around attraction at all and completely hates the hand their dealt with?

Autistic.
cmbabul@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
Hey now! I may be autistic but I assure you I don’t ever forget sex exists and im horny like 90~95% of the time, but I am completely oblivious to flirting or interesting shown so that doesn’t get mitigated as much as I’d like
Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 2 weeks ago
Well yeah, little bit of that too. That’s what probably makes it more confusing.
Zron@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That would be asexual

Ace, or graysexual
Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 2 weeks ago
Damnit, i always circle back to that one.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Probably because the identities we circle back to often have merit even if we don’t like it (the number of years I kept finding stupid arguments that I wasn’t trans…)
It sounds like you dislike this about yourself. You could check to see if there’s a medical issue causing extremely low libido. But fair warning, it may just result in you being horny and not finding anyone attractive.

Pretty sure that’s demi.
Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 2 weeks ago
Others are saying grey or ace. Why demi then?
atomicorange@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I may have gotten my terms mixed up, but I think demi is reactive sexuality, someone who gets turned on by their partner getting turned on. Requires a bond / connection. Not really interested without it.
I’m not super familiar with terms on that ace spectrum though. It’s somewhere on there.

Demisexual polyamorous transgender lesbian here - what queerness am I denying myself ;-;
BartyDeCanter@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
I’m not certain, but I wish you the best of luck in finding it. 😅

That is the best description of sapiosexual I have ever heard
CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m old and refused to claim a flag when they were presented.
I just tell people that “I’m independent, but occupied” or I ask them why they are so concerned about my penis, depending on the manner in which the question was asked.
