Human Sexuality

To Thine Own Self Be True

46 types, who knew?

Recently, while in editor mode, or was I on a break and in reader mode, but anyway I came across an article that mentioned something I had never heard of. Demisexual. I realize that I’m not Dr. Ruth Westheimer, but still. According to Healthline-

If you’re demisexual, you might relate to the following feelings or scenarios:

I seldom feel sexually attracted to people I see on the street, strangers, or acquaintances.

I have felt sexually attracted to someone I was close to (such as a friend or romantic partner).

My emotional connection with someone affects whether I feel sexually attracted to them.

I’m not aroused or interested in the thought of having sex with someone I don’t know well, even if they’re aesthetically beautiful or have a pleasant personality.

I mean, isn’t that every person over 45 who lives in the U.S.? No. Just me I see. Well, alrighty then.

And a special thank you to whoever wrote that story. It allowed me the opportunity to slide down into the internet rabbit hole. Again.
