second, because of the way that people *identify* with specific sexual practices and habits, this probably discourages actual self-knowledge by creating ossified (and maybe wrong???!!!!) identities

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

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.

monogamous partners actually have more sex

the main issue for me is that I legitimately don't like being intimate with most people, and I really really dont enjoy losing post-orgasm glow to the overwhelming desire for my partner to get the fuck out of my apartment, better to not have the sex tbqh

Why not have sex at their apartment? Wish hourly hotels were more common for this very reason. I don't like having people in my home. "Desire for cuddling afterward" should probably be a criterion on tinder; would help users find the best purely-fuck-buddies.

it's really hard to predict that preferences over sort of thing in advance though I think also i mean its a little bit moot for me given that im married and everyone whos not us gets kicked out afterward anyway
