I am a heteroflexible bisexual who also happens to be demisexual. It took me a long time to figure this out. I wasn't sure because I always liked girls, yet I learned more towards men. I also know that I tend to get easily attached to others on an emotional standpoint. Literally to the point where if I lose that person, it causes me to fall into a heavy depressive state of wanting to self-harm and wish I was dead. :/ I've also always been attracted to emotional connections with others. It's something I have always enjoyed. Probably way more than actual physical contact or whatever.

I just wanted to get this out because I don't tell very many people about this. D:

Congratulations on finding yourself! Pretty crazy how many of us don't exactly fit into just the "gay" or "bi" categories.

All these new terms are bewildering to me. Makes me feel like a heterosaurus. 8O But I looked up what you wrote so as to understand. I can relate to the demisexual part. The two things, mental and physical intimacy have always been linked in my brain.

I'm a man who likes women.

I'm a sapiosexual--someone who gets turned on by intelligence.

I'm glad you've discovered yourself.

I hope you'll get satisfied in multifarious ways.
