I saw a reel by an escort talking about difficulties she had dating. It got me wondering

(Edit: I interpreted the question as working rather than worked... I think it being a past thing would be much easier for me to handle lol)

Mostly no? But that's entirely a me problem. I'm too insecure and weird about intimacy. While I understand it perfectly on a cognitive level, my experience as demisexual makes it difficult to untangle on an emotional one.

But maybe... Taking the person I love as an example, if they were to date me and also get into (e.g.) porn, I could see myself discussing it and agreeing; I think I'd try, though it wouldn't come naturally to me and I think it would probably cause me a lot of internal friction which may or may not spill into the relationship... Hm, yep; I don't know enough to say for certain how it would go but I know I'd try for them. But that's because I'm already crazy in love with them. If this was someone I didn't have such strong existing bonds with, it would probably be no.
