Demisexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by the need for a strong emotional connection before experiencing sexual attraction. Unlike those who may feel attraction based on physical appearance or initial encounters, demisexual individuals typically find that their sexual feelings develop only after forming a deep bond with someone. This orientation is part of the broader asexual spectrum, which includes various identities related to sexual attraction. Demisexuality highlights the importance of emotional intimacy in relationships, distinguishing it from more common experiences of attraction that can occur without a significant emotional connection.
