Norah Speaks

Demisexual

a sexual orientation where people experience sexual attraction to folks they are close to emotionally. They sometimes experience sexual attraction after an emotional bond forms. So, a person can be sexually attracted to someone without having sex. A person can have sex with someone without feeling attracted to them.

Additionally, they aren’t simply people who date someone for a long time before having sex. Therefore, it isn’t about deciding to have sex. It’s about feeling sexually attracted to someone. A sexual attraction does not always follow the emotional connection.
