The biggest clue is if he doesn’t experience sexual attraction to people (or to you) unless he is already emotionally attached to them.
His sexual relationships always start as friendships.
He became more attracted to people he is involved with the longer he knows them (not unique to demisexuality).
It takes him a while to warm up to the idea of sex with someone, even if he likes them a lot.
Sex isn’t that important to him, particularly when he was single. He may not think about sex much unless he is in a relationship.
Ring any bell?
There is a cultural stereotype that women are only interested in sex when they’re in love, but men are interested in sex all the time. However, that is both inaccurate and reflects problematic gender essentialism. Gender identity and sexual orientation are two very different things.
Both men and women, cisgender and transgender, can be demisexual. Some people just don’t experience sexual attraction until they have an emotional connection. Others experience sexual attraction easily and often. Both are part of a normal range of sexual interest.

Demisexual would be with no sex? Just straight-curious LOL
In general, sex is less important to Demisexuals and other people on the asexual spectrum than people who identify as fully sexual. However, that does not mean that they cannot and do not experience sexual enjoyment.
As with people of other sexual orientations, Demisexuals vary in their enjoyment of sex and their desire for sex. In the context of a romantic relationship, some Demisexuals may experience high sexual desire and great enthusiasm for sex.
Others may enjoy sex, but primarily experience interest in the context of their partner’s desire, rather than spontaneous desire of their own.

Hmmm I feel bad … I am too boring… just straight man
アイデアや想像力を形にすることはとても重要だと思います。 性的自立に焦点を当て、自分の選択に満足していればすべてがうまくいくという点
I guess I am pansexual… but I prefer men.
You have to include 2 more: Panidiots and Panatheist = Panmaterialist.
I sense some sarcasm in here LOL… ♥
