Design Thinking about sexuality in communities 

Re the current discussions about making friends in communities where open sexuality is common, I'm thinking about how we can do better with tools and values about communication.

So, I have a question for folks, especially those who feel they're not well-served in these communities currently:

What do YOU, personally, want others to know about your needs, regarding sexuality or lack thereof?

(Answers in DMs okay!)

Design Thinking about sexuality in communities 

@indi I think "demisexual" is the term folks use these days for "emotional connection gating physical intimacy." Inside the emotional event horizon, though, I'm pretty much fair game; I'm specifically and explicitly into getting the other party off. My own needs exist independently of that and they are important in their own right, but they're as often fulfilled in passing by focusing on others as they are by explicitly focusing on myself.
