Thank you for this thread. About 6 months ago, I was at a workshop for my job, and I discovered that I may be demisexual. I've never really been attracted to random people. I can recognize when someone is attractive, but I don't feel an physical urge unless I have feelings for a person. Today, as a result of the viral "red star" Facebook post, I discovered I may also be Aphant. I've never been able to picture objects in other rooms. Though I'm great with math, geometry, and geography, I can't picture decor or new items in a location. Makes sense if I am in fact Aphant, and it would further your conclusion that the two may be connected. I'm looking more into Aphantasia (which is how I stumbled across this) to determine if I really might be, but I couldn't help adding my new self-discoveries on the thread. I am in a very stable, long-term, monogamous relationship, and before this, I was in a long-term monogamous relationship. I also very much enjoy sex with my partners, and am not asexual. Crazy connections here.
