When asexuality doesn't fit.

r/demisexuality

A subreddit about demisexuality. A demisexual is a person who may experience sexual attraction but only after forming a strong emotional connection with someone. It's all a spectrum. Some demisexuals may feel very close to asexuality and experience attraction to extremely few people in their entire lifetimes, and each may take a very long time to develop, while others may find attraction develops more frequently and often find themselves crushing on their friends.

2 This flag kinda doubles as a homosexual flag, we also have the 7 stripe gay flag as another option

3 Note that these are gender related and the prefix here does not mean demisexuality. If you want to express male/female/ect you can use the unicode symbols ♂️/♀️/m/f/ect.

4 The listed Discords have their own rules and systems in place, if you have issues with them you will need to resolve them with the discord group, not this subreddit.
