It’s not reactive, it means that attraction is conditional on an emotional bond existing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demisexuality

atomicorange@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI 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.

Fair, reactively getting turned on kinda fits under outside influence part. Though cant tell anything about the bond/connection aspect, as thats way too vague and complicated for me.
