Links

This is a collection of links which I’ve found useful. If the link is about asexuality, assume that I included it because it also applies to demisexuality. Asexuals and demisexuals generally have similar experiences, so relationship advice and other topics may be useful for people of both orientations. Please note that these links are all outside of this website and may contain triggering content.
