Greysexual Flag

Greysexual or greyasexual, also spelled graysexual or grayasexual (shortened to grey ace or grace) is a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum, referring to those who relate to asexuality, yet feel that there are parts of their experience that aren't fully described by the word asexual. Greysexual can be used as a specific identity, or as an umbrella term for any ace-spec identity that isn't purely asexual, including demisexual and others. [1]

A common reason someone may identify as greysexual is that they experience sexual attraction but very infrequently. Some greysexual individuals may only feel sexual attraction once or twice in their life. Others may experience it more frequently, but still not as frequently as allosexual individuals... [1]

Some other possible greysexual experiences may include:

• Experiencing sexual attraction infrequently.

• Experiencing sexual attraction very weakly.

• Experiencing sexual attraction only in specific circumstances.

• Feeling uncertain about whether they experience sexual attraction.

• Experiencing attraction that is only ambiguously sexual.

• Experiencing sexual attraction but not desiring a sexual relationship.

• Feeling alienated from sexual attraction.

• Otherwise relating to aspects of asexuality, even if it isn't a perfect fit.  [1]

Greyasexual can be an orientation on its own or be combined with other sexual orientations. For example, one could be greysexual and pansexual (greypansexual), meaning that when someone does experience sexual attraction it is towards individuals of any genders, no matter what. The romantic counterpart to greysexual is greyromantic. [1]
