Most people think that demisexuals sex life must be pretty lame.

But let me tell you that it is far from the truth.

But that doesnt mean that I dont want sex or that I dont enjoy it.

First, I must feel comfortable with a person before deciding to do the naked dance in the sheets.

I felt like I might be missing out on something or that there was something deeply wrong with me.

I still feel out of place in the modern hookup culture.

But to me, all those things sound terrible.

Its a foreign concept to them and they assume I just dont enjoy sex.

However, being a demisexual doesnt mean that I am not attracted to others or interested in romantic relationships.

That emotional part is integral to feeling sexual desire.

Similarly, I feel aroused when I experience emotional intimacy with another person by sharing our stories and lives.

We can take care of our own needs.

But, when we do have sex with someone, its in pursuit of a deeper emotional bond.

And thats what should be the most important.
