Friends, I won't lie to you: "This is so demisexual" is something I have yelled at my TV on more than one occasion. [Insert butterfly meme of me looking at a perfectly standard piece of media that happens to link emotional intimacy with sexual intimacy and going, "Is this... demisexuality?"]
For those who don't know, demisexuality is an identity on the asexual spectrum, meaning that it exists somewhere between allosexuality (experiencing sexual attraction) and asexuality (not experiencing sexual attraction). Demisexuality is characterized by the need for some kind of emotional connection to exist before sexual attraction can be felt. This manifests in all sorts of different ways for different people, because human psychology is complicated. For instance, I can start to get horny for celebrities I've seen in many pieces of media (um, you read my thoughts on Bo Burnham, right?), purely because our parasocial relationship has made me feel like I have an emotional connection with them.
Anyway, sometimes I see stuff on TV and in movies that reads as very demisexual to me. It might be an "enemies to lovers" storyline in some medical drama, in which the characters' sexual chemistry seems to build with each deeply illuminating argument they have on screen, or it might be a high school rom com where two best friends suddenly realize they were each other's perfect match the whole time... or it might be a Netflix dating show where people are financially incentivized not to fuck each other.
