brother tried "debunking" my demisexuality

Venting

had lunch with two of my brothers the other day, and the topic inevitably shifted to my dating life. they ended up asking about if i've been seeing anyone or if i've slept with anyone. i answered that i did after a date last year in march, but it was because the girl kept pushing it and knowing it takes me a long time to actually feel that way about people, i wanted to just get it out of the way (my virginity). i did not enjoy it whatsoever. i kind of felt like a used condom if i'm being honest.

but anyways, one of my brothers said that the fact that i even did that means i'm not demisexual? he said that i was normal, which i am 100% sure i am not, as i feel like any "normal" person would have immediately jumped the boat for sex when offered. i just felt of pressured since i was still a virgin at the time and i was getting up there in age for what's "socially acceptable" to be a virgin. i think the fact that i've only genuinely only had three crushes in my entire life and that i've refused multiple one night stands kind of speaks out to where i stand about demisexuality. i just don't really gravitate towards sex unless it's someone i really enjoy being around and have that connection with.

that's it. thanks for reading.
