A Royal Navy engineer has denied sexually assaulting a male colleague and told a court martial he could not have done it because he is 'demisexual'.

Able Seaman Triss Smythe is accused of 'grinding' against the bottom of the alleged victim and kissing his neck, making him feel 'violated and humiliated'.

However, AB Smythe told the hearing he was innocent, as being demisexual means he needs to form a strong emotional bond with anyone before he could even begin to think about sexual contact.

He claimed he struggled to even kiss his female fiancée passionately at first, 'let alone a colleague'.

The 23-year-old insisted the way he wrapped his arms around his fellow sailor and kissed him in an aircraft hanger was purely 'platonic'.

AB Smythe, who was known to use the phrase 'I'm here and I'm queer' around the workplace, denies one count of sexual assault of non-consensual touching and claims the kiss was simply a 'peck'.

He claimed he struggled to even kiss his female fiancée passionately at first, 'let alone a colleague'.

There might be another reason for that.

Sounds like a new sitcom for Netflix. "Non-binary demisexual who struggles to kiss his wife is the new Closeted homosexual."
