Ace Fact Image Set (Part 2 of 2)

[ ID: An image set with the demisexual flag, a crumpled paper background, and a gray square in the top left with different facts. Each fact is labeled with a number in the bottom right.

“#06 Ace Fact: Demisexual people don’t think they’re better than allosexuals. Not experiencing sexual arousal until I have a close, emotional bond isn’t something I choose and doesn’t mean I think I’m better than other people. It’s just how I’m wired.”

“#07 Ace Fact: Demisexuality is different than being allosexual. There’s a difference between being sexually attracted to someone vs. wanting to have sex with them. Allosexuals can experience that attraction but can choose to wait; demisexuals just don’t experience that attraction until there’s a close, emotional bond.”

“#08 Ace Fact: Demisexual people still experience stigma like asexual people. Our relationship with asexuality is different, but we still experience stigma, alienation, and the messages that we are abnormal or broken. It’s important for demisexual people to have a place in the ace community.”

“#09 Ace Fact: Demisexuals need a close, emotional bond to experience sexual attraction. This is based on our own personal experiences and is slightly different for everyone. Emotional intimacy is often a main component.”

“#10 Ace Fact: Gray-A is not the same as demisexual. Gray-A people don’t normally experience sexual attraction, but they can sometimes and may or may not act on it, or only under limited/specific circumstances. This is different than demisexuals, who only experience sexual attraction after forming a close, emotional bond. Both are valid.” ]

i need help finding a term, for this its when you have: a strong desire to have a sibling like relationship with someone, ( for chosen family) i feel attraction like this and crushes of sorts like this, please help me..... please

Hi there anon 🙂

I'm gonna be honest, I really have no idea what this would be called. Maybe a platonic crush? I'm really not sure.

Maybe one of my followers has a better idea?

I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help ☹️

Definitions from the Ace Week website:

Asexuality is a sexual orientation where a person experiences little to no sexual attraction to anyone and/or does not experience desire for sexual contact.

Demisexuality is an orientation where a person can only experience sexual attraction if a strong emotional bond is present. Demisexuality is often considered a type of gray-asexuality.

Gray-asexuality is an orientation where a person finds that asexuality describes a lot of their experiences, but that it doesn't fit perfectly. Someone who is gray-asexual may experience sexual attraction rarely, only under specific circumstances.

The term asexual spectrum encompasses all of the identities related to asexuality, including asexuality itself, demisexuality, and gray-asexuality. The word ace is a shorthand for the identities that fit within the asexual umbrella, and may also be used to describe a person who identifies with the asexual umbrella.

[ID: Gru’s 5 panel plan meme. Gru gives a presentation. The first slide says “I find a book”. The second slide says “I read it”. The third and fourth slides say “There are no aro characters”. Gru looks disappointedly at the fourth panel. The fifth slide says “I headcanon my favorite as aro”, and Gru is very excited about it. End ID]
