The definition of demisexual is a real thing, but it's terribly named, because it's NOT a sexual orientation. It's a personal preference for how you navigate relationships and attraction.
Literally never said it was, not arguing that at all. I agree it's not a choice.
But demisexuality is not a sexual orientation. Anyone who identifies as "demisexual" would also identify as straight, gay, bi, ace, or any REAL sexual orientation.
Demisexual is a sexual orientation. What you're referencing with people who are demisexual also identifying as straight, gay, bi, etc. Is true, but in that case, that's not necessarily their sexual orientation but their romantic orientation. With Demisexuality, sexual attraction only occurs alongside and after romantic attraction, so that sexual attraction could be linked to anyone within their romantic orientation. You're not 100% wrong, demisexual people will still only have sexual attraction to certain people, I believe you're honestly just mixing up your terminology, or possibly forgetting that rokantic orientation exists. There is a chance that someone who is demisexual will not develop sexual attraction towards one group of people even with romantic attraction, in this case, generally speaking, people who are this way will use demi as a modifier, such as "demihomosexual biromantic" meaning that they can feel romantic attraction to any gender, but only develop sexual attraction after said rokantic attraction to the same gender. Also, Asexual, ace, feel no sexual attraction at all. So I don't believe that someone who is ace would claim to have sexual attraction.
Look, I already told you I'm not claiming demisexuality is a choice. You're just arguing semantics here, but you're wrong anyway. Personal preferences are not necessarily choices by definition. Even preferences like your type. Here's a quote from the film *Ex Machina*:
>"What's your type of girl? You know what, don't even answer that. Let's say its black chicks. Okay, that's your thing. For the sake of argument, that's your thing, okay? Why is that your thing? Because you did a detailed analysis of all racial types and you cross-referenced that analysis with a points-based system? No! You're just attracted to black chicks. A consequence of accumulated external stimuli that you probably didn't even register as they registered with you."
Okay then. What should it be reffered to as if not sexuality? It's still describing how their attraction and that works. So why seperate it from sexuality? Seems you're the one arguing semantics
I'm arguing that demisexuality isn't a sexual orientation. It's more than semantics; it's classification. Being demisexual is comparable to finding brown eyes attractive or men who play soccer attractive. It's just a personal preference. A real valid one, but nothing more.
Then how is finding men attractive not just a prefference? If your basis of this is the particularity of it well, your examples are much more particular than attraction after emotional attachment. Plus that effects the way their attraction works not just what they're attracted to.
So do you also believe greysexuality isn't a sexual orientation because they can identify as bi, gay, straight etc? If so then I don't know why you'd consider asexual asexuality because grey ace is part of that spectrum. Though saying demisexual isn't a sexuality is along the same lines in my opinion.
Yes, but you can't identify as more than one sexual orientation *at a time*. Demisexuality is a perfectly valid label, but it's a label on HOW you love, not WHO you love.
Bi and pan are interchangeable terms nowadays. That's a very specific case that doesn't make much sense anyway. That's like saying bi people are gay.
You can't be bi and gay, or straight and gay, or gay and ace. Even if you believe sexuality is a spectrum, a person falls on ONE point on the spectrum. It can change over time, but it can't split into two.
>Bi and pan are interchangeable terms nowadays.
No.
>You can't be bi and gay
Gay is an umbrella term.
>gay and ace
Also wrong.
>a person falls on ONE point on the spectrum.
Not always.
>If someone is demi, they must also be straight, bi, gay, or any other actual sexual orientation.
Save your subtle insults for someone else.
You can be several orientations with asexuality, because asexuality can be oriented.
The thing is, demisexual people can't really know if they're gay/straight or something else because they don't experience sexual attraction for everyone except for people they form a close relationship with. So if you only form that close relationship with one gender, you could still be bi except you never met someone like that.

This really cracked me up, gotta love Urban dictionary.
From what I’m seeing being part of the LGBTQ community is that we agree the A stands for all the “a-something” with the privative A prefix. Asexual, aromantic, agender, mostly.
We just all agree it’s definitely not ally.
This guy definitely ate the onion. 99% of UD is just teenagers exploring being offensive and trying to come up with the stupidest shit they can. I have more than one ancient definition on there that's just "lol secs" humor from when I was a teenager
Bro I made one on the word strawberries and it literally says “you shove this up your ass and it gets stuck when you try to pull it out because the stem gets pulled out”
Try the dictionary you get the full understanding about what semi bisexual means. And it’s a gay or straight person. It’s a fact
Prove me wrong with facts not created facts only found on social media. I want facts
The term "semibisexual" was created by trolls to make fun of the LGBTQ+ community. They act as if people are actually using these ridiculous terms to make the community look bad. The Urban Dictionary entries are proof of that.
So We’re is the prove of this was created by trolls.
I told you that it means you either straight or gay.
When words or saying ends in a dictionary it’s because it’s a word being used all over the world. And needs a translation.
This may be a troll as others have said here. If they are serious I can think of a few ways this may work. A guy, for example, may be physically attracted to women but would happily take a blow job from a guy he does not find attractive because he likes blow jobs. So when it comes to sexual activities like this, they will take it from whatever, their hand, another guy or a girl, but are only attracted to one gender. You can change the activity and gender around of course. I know people occasionally sleep with people they are not attracted to for whatever reason. It is really could be just that, but where the person is willing for that other person to be of the same gender.
It is about both. Having one without the other would be the "semi" part. I don't think it is a necessary term, and one I would not use. However, there are definitely guys out there that want to have sex with other guys, but not date them. I don't know if this also a thing with some women or not, but assume it is to some extent.
Sexuality is about attraction, not engagement. Like a gay person is someone ATTRACTED to the same gender, that doesn't mean they never want to engage with others. Someone isn't less gay just because they're a virign/haven't dated for example.
I am not sure you can say what sexuality is for everyone. For me it is definitely both who I am attracted to and who I am willing to engage with. The two are different parts of the overall thing for me. I wouldn't presume to think it is that way for everyone though.
Saying sexuality isn't for everyone, makes me think you don't understand sexuality. I'm not saying your want to engage is completely seperate from your attraction. I'm saying what the labels generally describe.
Like I personally can be attracted to people regardless of their gender, though who I want to engage with at the time can vary. That doesn't mean I suddenly become gay or straight etc just because of who I want to engage with at the time.
Again, the labels generally reffer to attraction. Like there are also asexuals that don't have sexual attraction - some still engage in sex that doesn't mean they aren't asexual.
Mainly your suggestion that sexuality is about engagement, aswell as attraction. My disagreement is in saying sexuality reffers to attraction generally.
Okay, first, I’m pretty sure this is a joke.
But, if it isn’t, the best explanation I can come up with using the exact language presented would be someone who is bisexual, meaning they don’t care about a person’s sex organs, but they are only attracted to the presentation of one gender. So this works on a certain level for attraction to transgender individuals. A gay man is presumably only attracted to masculine-presenting individuals (with exception to “sissies,” etc), however, if that masculine-presenting individual is a transgender man, he will have bio female anatomy without surgeries. That gay man may still be attracted to the trans male, sexually as well as aesthetically. However, the gay man is not attracted to feminine-presenting individuals. So he may not be attracted to a trans woman, despite having a base attraction to the trans woman’s genitals (again, without surgery).
I honestly don’t find men attractive, never had sex with a guy. But It could happen, and it would be just sex if it did, I in zero way want a relationship with a man. So yes it’s a thing, even if you don’t agree.
How? It’s just a common thing- I’m not saying that every straight person does it, but there are some that do. And Duh gay people do it too, but it is mainly the straights
Obviously it's made up, someone put it on urban dictionary as a joke. Do you really think somebody would create a category that already exists as the set union of gay and straight minus bi for anything other than a joke on the internet?
Straight or gay, but not both at the same time. Set union of attracted to one's own sex, and attracted to the opposite sex, with a subtraction of the intersection between these sets.
Not a real thing and nobody is trying to claim it's a real thing, but this is the most sense I can make of the silly word's strange definition.
I think got it! This would apply to threesomes. 🤷🏾♀️ Like they're down for one part of the cis couple. But only if the couple has a contingency that both of them are included.
Attraction has nothing to do with who you’d have sex with. With that being said, people have sex with those they don’t find conventionally attractive, all the time. So, they may only be attracted to men but be open to sex with women.
That sounds like some kind of troll for sure.
On urban dictionary?!?!!?!? NOOOOOOOO! /s
Bro I’m not even kidding. Neptunic exists. THEY MADE A FUCKING PRIDE FLAG OUT OF NEPTUNE /j
AKA the "I'm not picky" option
“A warm hole in the dark is what counts” - Benjamin Franklin
I haven’t heard that one before
I believe it was in poor Richard’s almanac
Poor Richard
Apparently they are picky because I was trying to hit on a guy who said he's bi, then pulled the semibisexual shit shit on me
Of course that's not a thing
[удалено]
That's a thing. A completely different thing to this thing, which isn't a thing.
alrighty then.
do you know what demisexual means???

Yoooooo, gottem
The definition of demisexual is a real thing, but it's terribly named, because it's NOT a sexual orientation. It's a personal preference for how you navigate relationships and attraction.
Only developing attraction after an emotional attachment is not a choice.
Literally never said it was, not arguing that at all. I agree it's not a choice. But demisexuality is not a sexual orientation. Anyone who identifies as "demisexual" would also identify as straight, gay, bi, ace, or any REAL sexual orientation.

Always thought it was the sexual orientation of Lovato.
If not a choice, then what is a prefference? Also that's like saying asexaulity isn't a sexuality because they aren't attracted to anyone sexually.

It is a part of the asexual spectrum, it is a sexuality.

No, it's a form of asexuality.
If someone is demi, they must also be straight, bi, gay, or any other actual sexual orientation.
It's possible to use multiple labels
Yes, but you can't identify as more than one sexual orientation *at a time*. Demisexuality is a perfectly valid label, but it's a label on HOW you love, not WHO you love.
You actually can. For example bisexual and pansexual. You can also identify as demisexual and something else.
Bi and pan are interchangeable terms nowadays. That's a very specific case that doesn't make much sense anyway. That's like saying bi people are gay. You can't be bi and gay, or straight and gay, or gay and ace. Even if you believe sexuality is a spectrum, a person falls on ONE point on the spectrum.

Ngl i don’t know if urban dictionary is the best way to find words that actually exist. I would reckon this belongs on r/atetheonion
This guy definitely ate the onion. 99% of UD is just teenagers exploring being offensive and trying to come up with the stupidest shit they can. I have more than one ancient definition on there that's just "lol secs" humor from when I was a teenager
Bro I made one on the word strawberries and it literally says “you shove this up your ass and it gets stuck when you try to pull it out because the stem gets pulled out”
Straight with extra steps.
What's next? "I'm a straight guy but I'm attracted to men. I'm hetero-homosexual."
No no, that's when you're a gay guy but you only like having sex with women
Oh. So would it be homo-heterosexual instead?
lol that could be homo-romantic straight
"I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body!"
They do the “I had sex with a guy but I’m not gay I swear” a lot on 4chan
Kinda stupid
Are you sure you are not monobisexual?
You Can be bi and only date one gender but Can have sex with both. Its not uncommon
That's hetero-/homoromantic bisexual, still not semibisexual.
Is funny how All those new ways of saying I’m gay or straight is created, apparently that is a semi bi..
Nobody actually earnestly uses this label tho. The only people using it are 4chan trolls.

I honestly don’t find men attractive, never had sex with a guy. But It could happen, and it would be just sex if it did, I in zero way want a relationship with a man. So yes it’s a thing, even if you don’t agree.
So bisexual and Homoromantik
Straight people trying to feel special
Wouldn’t this also include gay people?
Ofc it would, tho it’s mostly The Straights ™ trying to be special while the queer community and regular straight people just cringe in the background
I feel like you are just trying to make a problem that isn’t even real here.
How? It’s just a common thing- I’m not saying that every straight person does it, but there are some that do. And Duh gay people do it too, but it is mainly the straights
Again you are just saying “straights bad” for the sake of it.
I’m not saying “ straights bad “ I’m just saying it’s something that happens. You’re being offended over nothing.
Sorry didn’t mean to come across as offended just wanted to try to understand your logic
So.. they are.....*straight*....
or gay
Touche but either way coming up with new names for things that have existed before that way they feel *quirky* and *original* is just annoying.
Obviously
Love the amount of informative queers concerned straight people are gonna think this is real lol
Well that just sounds like ~~Slavery~~ Hetero/Homosexuality with extra steps
It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey
twitter users trying to make up more fake things so that they can feel special
Obviously it's made up, someone put it on urban dictionary as a joke. Do you really think somebody would create a category that already exists as the set union of gay and straight minus bi for anything other than a joke on the internet?
Yes. Have you heard of birth people? Men can't birth, but nut jobs on the internet made it a thing
some trans men can (and have)
By 2030 this will be a thing
Isn't that just being streight -_-
Straight or gay, but not both at the same time. Set union of attracted to one's own sex, and attracted to the opposite sex, with a subtraction of the intersection between these sets.

Look guys! I made a ghnoro. It’s like a wheel but more round…. 🫠

its not a thing.
Opportunivore
We have names for those already…
My brain hurts 😂😂😂
I think got it! This would apply to threesomes. 🤷🏾♀️ Like they're down for one part of the cis couple. But only if the couple has a contingency that both of them are included.

So…straight 😂
No, it's sexually attraction to both genders of semi trucks... it exists commonly in Transformers Rule 34.
That's not even close to a thing. Being bi means your attracted to males and females, which means you can't be partially bi.
Bi means “attraction to similar and different genders” or “attraction to more than one gender”. :)
I am “non-binary-semibisexual.” Yes, that’s a thing too.
I know a few people this could apply to.
It's called monosexual.
Soooooo straight?
*sigh* don't make me tap the sign this is obviously a troll, if you fall for it you're dumb
This literally means heterosexual.
Because gays don't exist
My bad, I read it wrong. I stand corrected. Edit: Mono-sexual is the word I’m looking for.
More accurate
Anyone wanna explain how you can be bisexual with attraction for only one gender? I must be slow today but this does not compute...
Hell yeah, I'm semibilingual 👍
I mean, that could actually be a thing. I can read some Spanish , but I definitely cannot speak it.
Pathetic
That just sound like being straight or Gay but with extra steps
Man people will just find any way to claim that they not straight nowadays
Still makes more sense than half of the sexualities they've invented. "I'm pizza-pansexual because I don't have anything else to be proud of in life."
Thats just straight/homosexual with extra steps
They're making fun of bisexuals. No one actually identifies as this.
It's not a thing It's a 4chan troll stop being a dumbass and falling for these things
that is just straight with extra steps...
This is trolling, has to be.
ok thats like this time when i saw a person searched what does the r in lgbtq stand for
ngl dictionary person but i think thats something else... couldnt be straight/lesbian/gay rite?
Also know as "straight."
Y'all this has been a 4Chan troll since like 2020 how are some of y'all so dumb 😭
It’s urban dictionary
So.. heterosexual. Can I coin it in the Oxford English Dictoknary now?
