Ena Dahl, this was a fantastic article. One of the things I would love to do is to be able to break down the last hard wall that has forced a demisexual view on me.
Don’t get me wrong, if my partner prefers couples privilege and monogamy, and I am all in.
The thing is I have a feeling that to be entirely free, and I need this “demisexual” thing gone. I know that isn’t very articulate, but it is just a gut feel.
I half wonder if I had a real solid base of friends, and I was done with my current relationship, AND I processed and healed from the breakup. I wonder if being able to to do this, would remove the last main shackle in me.
Until I read this, I couldn’t get a substantial thought on it. Both you and Sarah Stroh and Joe Duncan write about these topics in a way that makes sense to me.
I believe that I am “built” for unconditional love. I wonder how does that play out in this Friend-Sex paradigm.
So many questions, so little experience, but I feel safe and secure enough to ask.
