  1. Hey Reengo. Thank you so much for replying, I enjoyed reading through it, however while I think I may be Demi romantic, I am most definitely not Demi sexual. It took a while to understand the difference between them for me, and my sexual attraction has caused many sleepless night of trying to figure myself out. Part of the reason that having a normal sex drive, personally for me higher than normal sex drive, made it so hard was because I would develop these “crushes” on people that I thought were beautiful. I wanted to hold their hands, kiss them, have them notice me, and to hold them in elementary school. But beyond that, I didn’t want anything else from them. I always thought that was a crush. I mean, what is a crush? For me, it’s always been that, but someone once told me part of that “crush” was wanted to spend the rest of their life together? I have no idea if that’s true or just them. I think that’s just were I struggle the most, being Demi-romantic but also having a high sex drive and attraction really begins to blur the lines of what a crush is. Sometimes I feel really close to a person, and I get nervous around them, but I never really knew if it’s just my hyper sexuality or the actual connection I crave from being a Demi-romantic
  2. So I’ve recently delved into the idea that I am probably Demi-romantic, but I still want to explore and discover more about it in order to be sure this is how I feel. I’ve tried searching on Google, but as I think Demi-Romanticism is relatively new(please correct me if I am not), there weren’t many very helpful websites. It’s all about Demi-sexualism, however I am not demisexual. I was wondering if anyone knew the difference between Primary and Secondary romantic attraction is, and the difference in what each one feels like. I really appreciate all the help I can get.
  3. Hello! I've recently discovered the possibility that I might be along the spectrum of Asexuality, specifically demi-romanticism. The more I began to think about what it was like growing up, the more things made sense. But honestly, I've been having a lot of trouble accepting what I am stating to believe is a part of me. Growing up, I never desired a relationship with anyone in my school, which was fairly large, nor did I ever develop a crush. It was never that I didn't want one, I very much wanted one, the kind of romance that you see on TV and in my parents. Every year, I would always try and look to see who I thought I wanted to date, but always came up dry. However, when I went to the local fair with my best friend, whom I known for 1 year now and someone that I had no interest in whatsoever, I had decided to sneak a picture of her. I remember looking at the picture I took and seeing my friend's smile, which she never does, and then I noticed just how nice she looked in that moment, and a sudden fuzzy feeling. I even wondered why I never noticed that before. Now I've been someone who has constantly craved strong connection with everyone I meet, and all the signs and everything add up, but I find myself wanted to find any other label. It also doesn't help that I've never had anything noticeably different with my sexual attraction, if anything my sex drive is doing more than just fine. I think that growing up in a society where a romance that sweeps us all off our feet has been so ingrained into us makes accepting my demi-sexuality the hardest part. Knowing that I'll never experience the spark of finding "the one" out in the wild and that it could take months to years to ever want someone for life is terrifying. Hook-up culture is everywhere, and no one is ever interested in waiting for someone to get feelings when their already knee deep. Afterall, by the time it actually happens for me, they'll have moved on to the next girl. I can't make someone wait for me. I am not even sure if anyone else has felt this too. I think I am just hoping that someone out there knows how I feel and that I am not alone. So here I am, shooting my shot.
  4. Hi there! My names Emily, and its nice to be here. Recently I've started to delve into the idea that I might be somewhere along the spectrum of Asexuality, specifically demiromantism. Its been a rather interesting couple of weeks, and I am very interested in exploring what may be a part of me.
