Demisexuality and Sensitivity: Unpacking the Connection
For me, sex is definitely about connecting.
Have you ever wondered if there's a link between being highly sensitive and demisexual? Steve, the thoughtful host of 'The HSP Experience', dives into this intriguing question in this episode. Demisexuality is a sexual orientation where people only feel sexual attraction after forming a deep emotional bond. For highly sensitive people (HSPs) and empaths, this might resonate more than you think.
Steve breaks down the nuances between demisexuality and asexuality, shedding light on how emotional connections play a crucial role in sexual attraction. He also touches on how childhood experiences can shape one's sexual orientation. But that's not all—Steve shares some book recommendations on new models of masculinity and other HSP-related topics. Throughout the episode, Steve's empathetic approach provides a comforting space for anyone grappling with their sexual orientation or feeling out of sync with hookup culture.
If you're an HSP or empath who's been pondering your own sexuality, this episode offers valuable insights and reassurance that it's perfectly okay to experience sexuality in your own unique way.
