Exactly. That’s also how the term demisexuality was coined, when in reality that was a normal behavior (for anyone who isn’t a nymphomaniac who would have sex with literally anyone without any emotional attachment). Wanting to be special so bad.

All the people I've met who labelled themselves demisexual, nb, pan etc have been autistic types. I have no idea what the connection is but I suspect this shit is a fandom to them.

I know someone who is otherwise just a normal girl in a lesbian relationship who described herself as asexual. I don't think either of the girls are sexually active, I think their relationship is better described by normies as BFF forever. Though I don't pry into their intimate lives because it's none of my business. I've gotten then distinct impression both were abused sexually as kids and have a kind of ingrained phobia of men, or rather an ingrained phobia of sex with men if we really want to get into it.

They seem happy enough. I can't fault anything with them besides the identity shit not making sense. But I think it's caused by traumatic childhood experiences. They both strike me as normal straight girls. But again, I'm not going to probe their intimate lives and breach their privacy there so I'm not sure.

Not having sex is pretty standard in long term lesbian relationship though.

I mean it's not unusual in straight relationships long term either. Sexless marriages are a thing. Don't think it's an exclusively lesbian issue. Think it's more a female sex drive thing.
