Candy Bleakz Says She Is Demisexual

Nigerian artist Candy Bleakz has addressed her sexual orientation, stating that she identifies as demisexual. In a video posted online, Bleakz said she frequently receives questions about herself and that people often become curious when she tells them she is demisexual. She remarked, "I also get a lot of questions around my sexuality and when I tell them I am demisexual, they are also intrigued. I don't know why, can't I be demisexual?" A Google definition describes demisexuality as a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum in which a person feels sexual attraction only after forming a strong emotional bond with someone. According to the definition, demisexual people usually do not experience primary sexual attraction, the instant spark based on appearance, voice, or first impressions. Instead, they experience secondary attraction that develops over time through deep connection, trust, and shared understanding.
