Demisexuality is the sexual orientation of a person who does not experience primary attraction, the physical or sexual attraction, but does experience secondary attraction, deep emotional attraction. Like asexuals, demisexuals often don't have sex due to lack of attraction but they can and some do, when with a person they most likely already have a deep emotional connection with. Demisexuality means lack of physical or sexual attraction but it doesn't necessarily mean lack of sex drive or that demisexuals don't crave companionship or a relationship, that might or might not involve sex. Demisexuals can be aromatic, heteroromantic, homoromantic, biromantic, or panromantic, very much like asexuals can be. On rare occasion a demisexual person can be attracted to someone sexually but usually it is after developing a strong friendship or relationship with that person. This is no way discards someone of their demisexuality and is important to remember.
Friend: Demisexuality? What the heckles is that?

Demisexual person: It's basically sort of like being asexual but with more emotional attraction and also I might have sex if I find the right person and I want to try it.

Friend: Oh, okay, cool.

Demisexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by only experiencing sexual attraction after making a strong emotional connection with a specific person.

A demisexual identity is a useful indicator for where a person might fall on the asexual spectrum.

People might think they are Asexual before making that emotional connection.
Jessie:I thought I am Asexual but now I am getting sexual thoughts about James . I don't know what's going on.

Meowth: You are probably Demisexual .

Demisexuality is a part of the asexual spectrum and is not invalid sexuality. It means that the person is unable to feel sexual attraction to another person unless there is a strong friendship between them. Some people may think that this is just 'hetero people searching for attention' but it really isn't. Demi from greek means half that means yourw halfway asexual halfway whatever-you-are. There are Demi-hetero, demi-homo, demi-bi, demi-pan and so much more.
Person 1: Hey, what was that thing that you wanted to say to me?
Person 2: Well, I'm demisexual.
Person 1: What is that?
Person 2: When you cannot feel sexual attracted to anyone unless you have a strong bond.
Person 1: That's just a hetero with a label. You're trying to be special. Plus if you're right and there is such thing are all heterosexuals sluts?
Person 2: There is a difference between not being able to feel sexual attracted and not wanting to fuck someone from the moment you met them. Please, think before you speak.

An ACTUAL FUCKING SEXUALITY that means I don't wanna fuck every 'hot' celebrity because there's no chemistry. It doesn't mean 'hetero asshole'
Person 1- "Hey, wanna be friends with benefits?"

Person 2- "No thanks, I am demisexual, I'm not attracted to just having sex for the hell of it."

Person 1- "I respect your sexuality and hope that chemistry can blossom between us."

A demisexual is neither primarily attracted to either sex, nor do they primarily desire to have sex. This means that a romantic demisexual is someone who, in layman's terms, looks for personality over sex by nature.

Primarily, the human will not be attracted to another human, but after being with another human romantically, feelings may begin to develop. This is further elaborated upon by Rabger's Model, which suggest human sexuality is created by four factors: Primary/Secondary Sexual attraction and Primary/Secondary Sexual desire.
Demisexuality is (apparently) a form of asexuality, related to gray-a.
I can't think of an example for demisexual xD

Demisexual means that you need to have a romantic connection to someone to have sexual feeling for them unlike what most people think (which is that they don’t date for body’s but still have sexual relations with strangers)
Person: hey hottie wanna hook up ;)
Demisexual: oh I don’t do hookups I’m demi
Person: doesn’t that mean you just don’t do them with someone you have a romantic connection with?
Demisexual: no it means that I only have sexual feelings towards people I have a romantic relationship with
Person: oh thanks for educating me
Demisexual: no problem :)
