Greysexual or Greyasexual, also spelled Graysexual or Grey asexual (shortened to Grey Ace or Grace), is a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum that refers 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 and others.
A common reason someone may identify as greysexual is that they experience sexual attraction but very infrequently. Some greysexual people may only feel sexual attraction once or twice in their life. Others may experience it more frequently, but still not as frequently as allosexual people.
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.Feeling alienated from sexual attraction.Otherwise relating to aspects of asexuality, even if it isn't a perfect fit.
Greyasexual can be an orientation on its own or be combined with other sexual orientations. For example, one could be greysexual and (grey-homosexual), meaning that when someone does experience sexual attraction it is only ever towards those of the same gender.
The romantic counterpart to greysexual is greyromatic.
