Also spelled greysexual, and sometimes referred to as gray-A or gray-ace, graysuality describes individuals who experience sexual attraction infrequently, weakly, or only in specific circumstances. According to WebMD, graysexual people may not relate to the typical markers of desire, yet don’t fully identify as asexual either.

The Asual Visibility & Education Network (AVEN) explains that graysexuality exists in the “gray area” between asexuality and allosexuality. People in this space may: “Experience sexual attraction very rarely, only under specific circumstances, or of an intensity so low that [it] is ignorable and not a necessity in relationships.”

Licensed marriage and family therapist Shadeen Francis, LMFT, CST, told Men’s Health that someone who identifies as graysexual might say things like, “I feel attraction occasionally, but only in particular contexts” or “I like certain activities, but others really turn me off.”
