Demisexuality
A community for those who identify as being demisexual!
This community was made out of a desire to bring together those on the fediverse who identify as demisexual, and build opportunities in connecting with others who are so that they feel validated and heard.
For those unaware, demisexuality is a sexuality on the Asexual spectrum, where one's sexual attraction to someone is established only after an emotional bond is formed.
Feel free to post memes, questions, resources, or anything relating to demisexuality here in this community!
All are welcome to participate so long as they follow the rules.
Rules:
-
PieFed.ca instance rules are to be followed at all times. Currently these rules are the same as those on Lemmy.ca.
-
All posts in the community must be in relation to demisexuality. Demiromantics are welcome, though this community is purely focused on demisexuality.
-
While likely already covered by rule 1, no aphobia. Any posts or comments shaming someones sexual or romantic attraction, or lack of, will be removed with the offenders banned.
-
While not required, it is generally good practice to provide Alt-text for image posts for those with visibility impairments.
-
This is currently an English-only community. This is simply for ease of moderation. As this community is hosted on a Canadian instance, posts in French are planned to be allowed in the future.
-
Please use the NSFW tag for more "adult" posts. Adult posts that are not tagged as NSFW will be removed. Posts with pornographic content are not allowed and will be removed regardless of tagging.
This list of rules is non-exhaustive, and will be built upon with time.
Resources:
More resources will be added here as time goes on. There are communities on Reddit about demisexuality that are relatively easy to find, though they will not be directly linked here to help foster and build a federated alternative to the platform.

I've never dated (nor am looking), but I have a friend who is demi. The only advice I could give based on them is that they found a partner by just doing clubs and events (we're college students), mainly the queer club we're all in. They entered with the intention of just making friends and then found a partner ๐
So if you know of any fun queer focused events nearby you maybe try that? Far easier to find like minded people that you can start slow with and build a friendship. If you can't find a queer focused group maybe just find a local hobby group (painting, gardening, etc.)
I feel bad, because I understand the Demi part makes it harder to get a partner, since so many people like one night stands. But I hope you find someone!
Good suggestions, thanks!
