WIRED Explores Demisexuality in March's Sex Issue

Heteromantic, demisexual, panromantic, heteroromantic, gray-asexual. Call it what you'd like, these are just some of the terms for a breed of attractive, smart, self-aware young people who just aren't that interested in sex. Meet the pioneers of an emerging sexual identity, one with its own nomenclature and subcategories of romance and desire, all revolving around the novel concept that having little to no interest in sex is itself a valid sexual orientation.

In WIRED's first-ever sex issue, Kat McGowan takes an in-depth look at the community of people uninterested in sex. 

McGowan writes in the March issue: the conventional wisdom today is that lust and gratification are natural and healthy, a nonnegotiable aspect of being human. We presume that freedom of sexuality is a fundamental human right. But the idea of freedom from sexuality is still radical. It is an all-new front of the sexual revolution.
