asexuality
Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. It may be considered a sexual orientation, or the lack thereof. It may also be categorized more widely to include a broad spectrum of asexual sub-identities.
demisexuality
Demisexuality is a term used to describe individuals who rarely or never experience sexual attraction solely based on immediately observable characteristics such as appearance or smell, and do not typically experience attraction immediately after a first encounter. A demisexual person generally tends to develop sexual attraction only after an emotional bond has formed. The amount of time that a demisexual individual needs to know another person before developing sexual attraction towards them varies from person to person. Demisexuality is generally categorized on the asexuality spectrum.
