sexual preferences are goopy and context-dependent and etc etc if you want satisfaction and self-knowledge, keep your sexual identity small and personal numinous identity vs olympic identity

I still don't know what a 'demi' is other than 'what we used to call a romantic' and tbh i'm not gonna police ppl's identities but it does not seem like a super useful one to me

demisexuality is a way of pretending that the single most praised and rewarded sexual behavior pattern in our culture is oppressed because Chad and Stacy like casual hookups

Thanks, but now I realize I should have been more specific: Are there any studies that show that poly couples have less sex than mono couples? This one only states that those without a relationship have less sex, which is exactly what I would expect.
