NullVector Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi @Ice Queen So, @Mark just posted a link to this article in another of your threads. It's an interesting way of looking at the differences between asexuals, demisexuals and sexuals Quote This hypothetical model of sexuality takes the position that sexual attraction and desire can each be subdivided into "primary" and "secondary" forms: Primary Sexual Attraction: A sexual attraction to people based on instantly available information (such as their appearance or smell) which may or may not lead to arousal or sexual desire. Secondary Sexual Attraction: A sexual attraction that develops over time based on a person's relationship and emotional connection with another person. Primary Sexual Desire: The desire to engage in sexual activity for the purposes of personal pleasure whether physical, emotional, or both. Secondary Sexual Desire: The desire to engage in sexual activity for the purposes other than personal pleasure, such as the happiness of the other person involved or the conception of children. One of the strengths of this model is that it clearly distinguishes demisexuals from both sexuals and asexuals. Most sexuals in romantic relationships feel both primary and secondary sexual attraction. The term demisexual, under this model, tends to refer to people who experience only secondary sexual attraction; this attraction can result in primary sexual desire. Since asexuals experience neither primary nor secondary sexual attraction, they cannot experience primary sexual desire. However, since they can experience secondary sexual desire, this model accounts for the sexual behavior of some asexuals. Sexual Orientation Primary Attraction? Secondary Attraction? Primary Desire? Secondary Desire? Sexual Yes Yes Yes Yes Demisexual No Yes Yes Yes Asexual No No No Yes So, perhaps I was wrong and you're 3/4 cross-oriented rather than half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
