What is semi-sexual?
Semi-sexuality (Demisexuality) refers to a sexual orientation in which individuals feel sexually attracted only after establishing a deep emotional connection with others. Unlike traditional heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality, semi-sexuality is usually not immediately sexually attracted to someone because of their appearance, size, or other superficial features.On the contrary, they need to get along for a long time and in-depth understanding to establish a deep emotional bond in order to feel sexual attraction.
The term "semi-sexual" came to be known in the early 2000 s with the spread of the Internet and the rise of the LGBT + community. Before that, many semi-sexual people may not realize that their sexual orientation is different, or can't find the right words to describe their feelings. As more and more people begin to share their experiences,Semisexuality has gradually become a widely recognized sexual orientation.
Emotional dependence: Semi-sexual people often need to establish a deep emotional connection with each other in order to feel sexually attracted. This emotional connection can be friendship, affection or romantic relationship. Once this connection is established, they may develop a strong sexual attraction to each other.
Individual differences: Each half-sex person's experience is unique. Some people may need a very long time together to feel sexual attraction, while others may be able to build enough emotional foundation in a relatively short time.
Non-immediacy: Unlike traditional sexual attraction, semi-sexual attraction is not instantaneous. They usually don't take a sexual interest in the person they meet for the first time, even if the person is very much in line with their aesthetic standards.
Multi-dimensional: The emotional and sexual attraction of semi-sexual people may be multi-dimensional. They may feel a strong sexual attraction in some relationships, but not in others.
