So like, let me preface this by saying I’m not entirely sure I even am demi. I do find people attractive, but not in the “man, I want to have sex with them” kind of way. That requires at least a friendship first. That’s kinda besides the point of my question though!
Say you’ve decided that you want to find a new play partner. As a demi, how would you go about finding one? Dating apps seem to focus on either one-night stands or long term romance. Finding a friend-with-benefits seems a lot harder?

Oh! Sorry, I didn’t see this post initially, I just changed my settings to show NSFW posts with blurred thumbnails since something I posted disappeared after posting, and this only showed up for me after the fact.
There are dating apps specific to people on the asexual spectrum if that at all helps, acespace comes to mind, which may help you find people that are more on the same page as you. I wish I personally had more to offer beyond that, but play partners are a concept I’m not the most familiar with admittedly.
I posted a very similar question on here recently. I would have to say, for me, the biggest hurdle in finding a play partner would be just finding a group/scene where folks are somewhat likely to be open to dating. But of course as a demisexual this still excludes dating apps and other such scenarios more geared towards immediately quenching a thirst.
I like the general suggestion that was given on my post: Find fun things to do as a way of meeting people. It eases the pressure, and one is more likely to be open to connecting when already having fun 😀
