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

to be fair, demisexuality makes sense as a dialectical move (read: countersignal) if you're looking at young-urban-liberal areas. consider that much praise for monogamy inherits from Christian social norms, which are flailing esp in cities...

what I don't really understand is the appeal in continuing to promote it, when it's so unsustainable and everyone likes orgasms and novel partners.

I have trouble believing this statistic, do you have a source on that?

a link is provided later in the thread, but since it got messy and hard to navigate I will repeat it here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28265779

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.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you know that any study that compares poly couples to mono couples would have pretty big issues like "survivorship bias"

i mean we ain't even gotta do it longitudinal, just collect a nice big n of how much sex some single, mono, and poly people have recently been having at one point in time
