I had a suspicion that I might be demisexual for a little while now, and I would like to ask if it is a healthy and normal thing or not. Demisexuality is oftentimes compared to asexuality, and the topic of the latter has been discussed time and time again on here, with the conclusion of asexuality being unhealthy and a direct result of ongoing psychological problems. Is this the case when it comes to demisexuality as well?
As for me, I have an avarage level of libido, and I haven't received any type of religious upbringing when I was a child. Sexuality and the way our bodies work as a topic in general wasn't treated as a taboo growing up, and I don't feel guilt, shame or any other negative emotions when partaking in sexual acts. I wouldn't really call myself a prude or a shy person in particular either. The only thing that makes me feel weird and even disgusted is consuming porn, though I have stopped watching it a long time ago for this very same reason. Therefore, I believe that I don't have as many sexual hangups as most people do, but I could be mistaken on this part.
The thing is, that despite having an avarage level of libido I don't feel sexual attraction or have any desires towards other people, it happens only after I get to know them on a personal level and develop an actual connection and feelings towards them. But never before that. What is more, that I get instantly turned off and lose all kinds of interest the moment someone brings up sexual topics or makes agressively flirty comments early on. It is completely fine if it happens after we got to know each other in a more deeper level, but if the relationship is shallow, superficial and barely there the overly agressive advances make me lose all interest. If anything, it slightly disgusts me how someone I only knew for a short time tries to get in my pants, or tries to get me to get in theirs. I just never felt sexual attraction or had any desires towards strangers, regardless of their looks. I can tell when someone is sexually attractive and hot of course, but I will not have thoughts or desires like "I wanna bang that girl/guy" when seeing someone like that out in public. My attraction and desires towards other people is practically non-existent until I develop a connection, basically. I think this is the reason why demisexuality oftentimes gets compared to asexuality, but from a spiritual and SS point of view, is this truly the case? Is demisexuality normal, or is a result of sexual hangups?
