It means they cant make love to anyone they dont have an emotional connection with.

It means people who don’t experience sexual attractions very often or very powerfully, and it’s also very often the case that demisexual people can’t experience a physical sexual attraction unless they also feel an emotional connection.

A very recent word (coined 2008) that essentially describes someone who doesn’t have a very strong libido (that isn’t related to a medical condition) or someone who doesn’t experience spontaneous sexual attraction.

Whether it can be classed as a sexual orientation is a matter of debate.

This comic is a fantastic explanation of what a Demisexual is.

“Confessions of a Demisexual”: https://planamag.com/confessions-of-a-demisexual/

Demisexuals are a type of Asexual.
They don’t feel sexual or physical attraction to someone at first sight.

Over time, they will get to know someone, develop emotional feelings, and then want to explore the physical side.

It means hook-ups are out of the question, and blind dates are difficult too.
