Sheldon as Demi-sexual?

[SheldonCooperFan]

So we all know that asexual characters get like no media coverage, and when they do they're like two-dimensional robots. Even characters that explicitly state they have no interest in romance or sex (like Sheldon, or bbc's Sherlock) are merely seen to be celibate. Which is kind of what the writers of the show have sort of done to Sheldon so... It's kind of valid. I mean they mention he likes to get himself off, but there's no reaction towards other people, in the immortal words of Penny,"What's Sheldon's deal?"

The thing is, Sheldon totally fits the definition of demi-sexual, in the sense that I can only see him being sexually attracted to someone if they had a strong emotional bond(cough-Penny-cough), despite having a working libido, it merely won't extend to other people. And he says himself that he will probably have sex with Amy, meaning he doesn't seem disgusted by it, he's simply not over the moon about the idea, and hyper-selective about anyone he would do so with. Almost like he's waiting to hit some 'intimacy threshold' in which it's considered appropriate? Maybe?

I just wanted to start the conversation and see what you guys think, so any takers?

I think Sheldon is OCD and has a very Systematic mind set and life style. I believe most of this stems from the OCD. I think this makes him appalled at the act of sexual intercourse because he finds it disgusting. Even if he desired it I think for the most part he would restrain himself. He seems to have a logical reasoning behind what he does and is no where as needy as Leonard or Amy. I think instead of focusing on sex he focuses his energy on science. Everyone has a way of relaxing and clearly intellectual pursuits are a lot more relieving for someone like him. I also think if he does have any sexual desire his brain would stop him from doing much since Sheldon over-thinks everything. Both relationships and learning uses brain activity but some people choose sex over pursuits that will bring them up economically.
