COMIC: Demisexual by Scribble Toons
Added 2023-05-16 07:10:01 +0000 UTChttps://www.ohjoysextoy.com/demisexual-scribble-toons
Yes, demons are sexy, but demisexuality is actually the name for feeling sexual desire only after developing an emotional connection with someone. There are many ways people can explain what demisexuality means to them, and today we're highlighting Scribble Toons's interpretation in this tender, sweet comic.
Now, someone who's exclusively attracted to demons only after they've formed a strong emotional bond with them, would you call them a Demisexual Demisexual? Or a Demisexual²? 🤔

Oh my gosh this was so good! The sweet pastel, soft art and then the excellent dialogue! I've a couple demi friends m'self and I'm definitely gonna show this to them and I bet it'll help spark some more conversation and appreciation of their lovely selves whether this definition fits just right nor not. n_n

2023-05-29 22:03:42 +0000 UTCThank you so much for sharing your story! One of the most gratifying things about working on OJST is hearing other people's stories and learning how folks do or don't relate to the individual comics. It's fascinating to learn people's details! -Erika

2023-05-16 20:19:02 +0000 UTCThank you for posting this comic <3 It took years for me to figure out I was Ace, then when I was in my first serious relationship, I was so confused because I had JUST settled on Asexual, and NOW I was having _those_ feels?? Wha??? Then I learned about micro-labels and nested sexualities, and Demi felt right. It's kinda fun, because I can make and get dirty jokes ever since I had a bond, but other times I'm so confused (I still don't fully get wanting to have sex with someone based on their looks, but ah well). I'm happy there's a name, because it means there's others like me, and I don't feel as lonely or estranged anymore <3

2023-05-16 11:00:53 +0000 UTCIt me!!! It took a therapist to help me figure this out about myself. I was explaining how all the people I've ever dated started as friendships, I never hooked up, didn't have sex until late college, and people who tried before then accidentally got insta-dumped because it made me feel so weird. Still working through explaining this to my spouse, cuz they like to have verbal fantasizing games, like with "spank bank" celebrities, but I just cannot get into it because i don't *know* them. I can agree they're attractive, but I've never had that "i want to jump their bones cuz they're so hot" urge my spouse does. It disappoints spouse because they really like fantasy scenarios and I have such a hang up. I could sub in people I know well enough, but then it just feels icky talking about my friends in that way, even if I have had those kinds of feelings. I think this also goes along with my pansexuality. Because I need the emotional connection, if/when I form that with someone, I do start having more attraction to them than just friendly, and it doesn't matter what kind of body they're in.
