Before diving into this chapter, YOU MUST HAVE READ PART ONE IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY.

Some people just like to skip chapters for no real reason, but this chapter will literally make no sense if you haven't read part one.

Okay. Moving on.

There's actually a few more sexualities and other thingamabobs that I've yet to mention due to the fact that I didn't want to stretch out the first chapter too much.

First, I'd like to get into the spectrum of asexuality.

(Everyone who is reading this should now understand asexuality thanks to part one.)

In the spectrum of asexuality, there's something known as being demisexual, which is one of the sexual orientations that I have yet to name.

Being demisexual means that you can range from a variety of romantic attractions (just like an asexual person), but it also means that you can only experience sexual attraction after forming an emotional connection with someone. It's not the same as being straight/gay/bi/pan, as a demisexual person wouldn't be able see that celebrities or anyone they've just met on the street as hot or sexually appealing. They cannot 'fall' for movie stars or idols at first sight. They can't see anyone being hot or sexually appealing until they've formed an emotional connection with that person. Maybe they have to know the person for over the course of weeks to months to years before even considering them as sexually appealing.

Though being demisexual is not the exact same as being asexual, there is still the struggle in seeing sexual attraction as a thing in the first place, which is it typically belongs to the spectrum of asexuality or relates to it in some way and form.

Before I progress forward, I must clarify: being demisexual is NOT the same as practicing celibacy.

Celibacy, according to Google, is defined as: the state of abstaining from marriage and sexual relations. Often times, celibacy is exercised for religious purposes. People who believe that they should postpone their first time engaging in intercourse usually practice celibacy.

While, as cited by AVENwiki, the term demisexual is defined as: A demisexual is a person who does not experience sexual attraction unless they form a strong emotional connection with someone. It's more commonly seen in but by no means confined to romantic relationships. The term demisexual comes from the orientation being 'halfway between' sexual and asexual.

Being demisexual has nothing to do with religion, nor does it ever involve voluntary will like celibacy does.

When you are practicing celibacy, you are choosing to refrain yourself from marriage and sexual relations. You can still lust after people you perceive as sexually attractive, but you won't and can't do anything about it.

You can dreamily sigh with twin heart eyes plastered across your face and say, "Man, John from Starbucks sure is drool-worthy."

But due your beliefs, it's not like you'll try to add onto your statement with, "I should tell him that my bed has room for two."

You aren't voluntarily straight as a person. You aren't voluntarily anything when it comes to sexuality. You just are.

So when you identify as demisexual, it's not because you one day you woke up and declared, "I will be demisexual for the rest of my life!"

Nobody gets to choose their sexuality.

Here's an easier way of thinking about this using food:

1. Being asexual is like not being interested in any doughnuts whatsoever.

2. Being demisexual is like being interested in a doughnut only if it's your favorite flavor. You might eat a chocolate doughnut because you love chocolate, but you might not because for the most part, you don't have an interest in doughnuts.

3. Being a person who practices celibacy is like avoiding doughnuts at all cost — even though you love them — because you're on a diet. Oh how you crave that doughnut, and yet it cannot be!

Now that demisexuality's been covered, I can move onto the subject of polyamory.

According to Google, the word polyamory is defined as: the philosophy or state of being in love or romantically involved with more than one person at the same time.

Though polyamory is often seen in Middle Eastern cultures and cultures dating back to centuries before this one, it can still be recognized clearly to this day.

Being polyamorous simply means you can love more than one person; meanwhile, being monogamous, which is the opposite of being polyamorous, means that you would traditionally love only one person.

Before you leap onto the insane train labeled 'ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE POLYAMOROUS ALSO CHEATERS?' I have to say this: there is a difference.

When you are a cheater, that means you are having an affair/engaging in another relationship behind your partner's back. Without their awareness. No consent.

When you're in a polyamorous relationship, you and your partners have all mutually consented to being in a relationship together.

Cheating = affairs and no consent.

Polyamory = more than two people know and are devoted in the relationship together; mutual consent

Another example that I will provide to further elaborate my point is this story. Imagine these two different scenarios.

Scenario #1: Jake and Theresa have been together for two years now. Theresa is bisexual and Jake is straight. Nowadays, Theresa has been very avoidant whenever she's in contact with Jake. The amount of calls between them has diminished. Theresa claims to be too busy to spend time with Jake on the weekends now. After some discovering, it turns out that Theresa has been seeing a woman named Tiffany behind Jake's back.

Scenario #2: Jake and Theresa have been together for two years now. The relationship has been progressing smoothly. Theresa is bisexual and Jake is straight. One day, while working at her campus bookstore, Theresa meets a woman named Tiffany. They hit it off and it turns out Tiffany is also bisexual. After some talking, Tiffany confesses that she likes Theresa. Upon registering the confession, Theresa decides to talk to Jake about it. Theresa says that she loves Jake, but she's also starting to like Tiffany as well. Tiffany is also willing to engage in a relationship with both her and Jake, whether she is also or isn't attracted to Jake. Jake agrees to this idea, whether he is also or isn't attracted to Tiffany as well, and they all willingly agree to be in a three-way relationship. It takes a lot of communication, honesty, and compromises, but by the end of it all they consider each other lovers.

Scenario #1 is a textbook example of what cheating looks like.

Scenario #2 is an example of what a polyamorous relationship looks like and how that's different from cheating. You can be of any gender and sexuality in order to be in a polyamorous relationship.

Storytelling aside, in today's modern era, we've been conditioned to believe that being monogamous is the right way to love.

Honestly though, who says there is a 'right way to love'?

If we as people can have more than one friend, what's stopping us from spreading the love in other ways?

Maybe that might not sit right with you because you're monogamous and that's okay, but please do be respectful and mindful to others who aren't you.
