Am I demisexual?

I am confused about my sexuality. I have clear allosexual traits and some demisexual traits at the same time. Maybe someone can offer some food for thought for me :)

My allosexual traits are:

  • I like masturbation and like the fantasy of having sex with people with bodily traits I feel sexually attracted to (both of real people in my life and of people in porn).
  • I've so far had only sex within a romantic relationship, where I enjoyed sex as it's commonly described by the majority of allosexual people (though I very much enjoyed the emotional intimacy as well during sex).

My demisexual traits are:

  • I don't want to hug, kiss, or have sex with a person on a first date (assuming we haven't known each other before). I am upset every time the Internet describes how "men" are always ready for the next intimate move.
  • When I am romantically attracted to someone (have a crush), I don't envision sex with them right away. I always describe my crushes as "cute", never as "sexy". My first thoughts are to get to know them better, be in their presence, and have sweet or deep convos. Only after a single striking convo or multiple good convos am I willing and feeling safe enough to hug them. And after some more encounters I have fantasies of cuddling them, touching their face, hair, and hands.

    Only after many encounters (and my evidence is small here, only had one relationship so far) do I develop the desire to get sexual with them.

  • I can be sexually attracted to people, but I never know whether in practice I would actually want to have sex with them. I only had sex in a relationship so far.

  • When I am attracted to someone, then I either have a romantic attraction or a sexual attraction to someone. They typically don't occur at the same time, unless I have gotten to know the person better.
