When I came out to my best friend as demisexual at the age of 17, he just said, “I’m not sure what that is. Can you explain it?” He was totally cool with it, and when I explained I was sex-repulsed he just said, “I guess then it makes sense why you’re usually single. People try to pressure people into sex all the time.” He’s still my best friend and we still talk almost every day, two years later. I still haven’t told my parents and probably never will (they’re super homophobic) but at least someone accepts me.
