For those who are not asexual but not celibate either, the new label is helping to define their love lives

Lidia Buonaiuto was 27 when things finally clicked and a lifelong weight was lifted: she wasn’t a freak, she wasn’t a weirdo, and she wasn’t alone in feeling the way she did about sex and relationships. She was, she discovered, demisexual.

Or can’t get a shag as it’s otherwise known

Stick it on the list.

Who the hell could possibly give a shit what other people do with their genitals, how frequently and with whom?

So like, only into Demi-gods

No such word...pathetic

Not a sexuality, just some basic common sense 😂

The need for a term (if any) could also apply to the desire or urge to have sex with people we don’t really know or are connected with?Taking our time to form a deeper appreciation of each-other which leads to sexual stimulation shouldn’t be treated as an anomaly?

Like Demi Moore?

Why thousands now find themselves turned on only by Guardian articles about the sexuality of others.

Another made up 'feeling' to get attention

Western society is not exactly a level playing field: the expectations are for partners of the kind where private schools for any offspring are provided; there is a BMW in the drive etc. Flings with no connection must be the norm! Are we a dying race?!

Very interesting indeed. To be honest, she needs to find her managed not her man cone to her. Might work for her👌👌👌

lmao. in a nutshell, is this an oppostie class to ‘hopeless romantic’ and those who believe in love at the first sight? sexuality spectrums nowdays are getting more complicated than it should be

There's a word.

The minger defence

Thousands are identifying with fake sexual issues because you liars in the MSM pushed these lies.

You mean...normal

Attention seeker!

Next thing we know, they won't be having sex until marriage - will we need a new word for that too

Stop reading this rubbish folks, and they'll stop writing it.

So, some people don’t like sex as much as some other people. What a shocker!

I can see the point of another label. When at a young age, your 'knowledgeable elders' question your sexuality because you have little interest in the opposite sex, it can make you question yourself too.... If no-one cared it wouldn't matter, but they do!

All these labels are stupid and a waist of time

Seems to me this is putting a label on normality. It's the media that has pushed the concept of sexual normality to somewhere where it is easier to monetize.

When I was young I remember thinking the potter scene Ghost was demisexual

Why do we have to label everything? She seems a perfectly reasonable and nice female. Wow she doesn’t jump into bed wit a bloke on a night out. She’s just classy not demisexual lol couldn’t make this rubbish up

Because they are liberal arts students with no job?

i think humans are evolving in rhythm with the end of the world. as the planet deteriorates, so do human qualities that were once more solid and definable. as our environment falls apart, so do we.

WTF is that? Confused! Male or female, either gay or straight! Pic a side, want you cake & eat it too?

Damn!! Pansexual, omnisexual, ok I think I made that one up, and demisexual. S*it, notitlesplz icantkeepup

According to that first self obsessed lunatic we are all animals who just can't help but shag everybody we meet, and she's just not an animal like everyone else! Eh?

Too many people going to University that are taught to think and over analyse too much. They have nothing better to do than come up with stupid ideas or words. This isn’t a new thing ffs. When I was growing up you either did or didn’t sleep with someone on a first date.

ouch, the ignorant hatred in the responses shows exactly why we need more articles about demisexuality.

It's not a bad place to be, knowing someone before you can love (make love to someone) someone

Also known as ‘attention seeking’.

If it helps people feel normal, then what’s the harm and why judge?

asexuality could you please help put out this dumpster fire of a comment thread?

Young people watch so much porn that they think being in love is a sexual orientation

Personally it seems like we're trying to hard to further label people something different for the sake of the act alone. I'd say this is just a person to person thing when it comes to what you like or dislike. Why add another reason to delineate humanity

Lidia Buonaiuto was 27 when things finally clicked and a lifelong weight was lifted...stop eating junk food

Those people HAVE to identify as something... otherwise they are just boring people who complain about Trump all the time.

Enough!!!!!

Is semi-sexual a physical or psychological issue?

The world of the Liberals... Sad!

They used to be called frigid in my day.

Because it’s cool to be attention seeker

More modern useless meaningless bollocks.

Soon enough LGBTQ will have to invent letters. Lust has become a lexicon.

Bullshit.

Hence the rise in the use of tinder with it's emphasis on getting to know the real you before making a choice. Seriously this is feelgood bait for fat mingers.

Demisexual. That word should only be used to describe Charlie's Angels 2: Full Throttle.

🙄

Speak on lady speak on..me amd wifey agree..

What’s next? Hemidemisemi sexual? LostYourRocker

Confused

More made up shit

'Demisexual' is just another word for good old fashioned romantic.

Whatever.

The sooner we accept people for who they are and stop trying to define and redefine what “normal” is the sooner we can quit with the labels. This person shouldn’t have to label themselves as anything but a human being.

Most of them are victim of heartbreaks 😂 🤣 😂

What’s next? Hemidemisemi lust? LostYourRocker

Hahahaha 🤪

Made-up word du hour! demisexual

Because they just heard the term and think it means they’re a sex god

“I need to have a deep emotional connection with someone before any sexual feelings appear.” - you don’t say?

Holy moses smell the roses. We're doomed.

🙄

Take a read on the last chapter of the Rise & Fall of the Roman Empire and tell me if you see any similarities...

There was also once a time when no one felt the necessity to talk about this shit... or otherwise their personal fucking sex lives... I don't give a shit and don't want to know.

Is that on channel 5
