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.

In aggregate, yes, but a given individual's behavior (and sexual fortunes) when available vs when monogamous may veer off in either direction

looping back to this I think the main issue is transaction costs and specifically search frictions pretty generally finding novel partners is a much more costly road to orgasm than picking up your wife or POSSLQ or w/e and throwing them into your bed in the next room

I generally don't so much 'look for' novel partners as I am 'accepting of them as opportunities arise' which over the long run has proven excellent at both acquiring partners and minimising drama
