I never knew the name for it. Demisexual. When did that get noticed? I've been wired that way from the beginning, and like you, I thought I was obligated to be and feel hypersexual. Just doesn't work. I had a lover who was hypersexual, sought many encounters while I was content with domesticity and the occasional whoopie time. Needless to say it didn't work out. Frisco in the 70's moved from friendly ground for us demi's to a sexcapade. Somehow I withdrew from the madness, never understanding quite why. Never got or succumbed to the plague that killed so many of my friends. Thanks for this post. Thanks for the beautiful men here and in all the other places. Intimacy, propinquity (nearness), even (gasp!) friendliness and friendship...those are real turn-ons for me. And evidently you as well. It's a big club, you say. I'm happy to know about it at last.
Hi Clarke! You’re far from alone. I’ve only heard it in use for the past few years here…and even then usually requires a conversation to understand how it applies to each individual. According to Wikipedia, the term “demisexuality” was first coined in 2006. But who knows…language is always changing and playing catch-up with human experience and nature. Glad to know someone else in the club, dear!
P.S. We have our own specialty pride flag. But I still prefer the Rainbow Flags. Both the original 8-color and current 6-color variations.
Yes. I think there are many of us. I relate to what you have written.

Thanks! I like the regular Rainbow flags too. So much is made clearer. Excelsior!
