[[File:Greysexual.png|thumb|220x220px|The greysexual flag. ]]'''Greysexual''' or '''grey-asexual''' (also spelled '''graysexual''' or '''gray-asexual''') is a sexual orientation on the [[Asexual Spectrum|asexual spectrum]], referring to those who relate with [[Asexual|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.
A common reason someone may identify as greysexual is that they experience [[Sexual Attraction|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 grey-asexual experiences may include: ▼
* Experience sexual attraction very weakly ▼
*
* Feeling alienated from sexuality▼
* Finding asexuality a useful idea, even if it isn't a perfect fit<ref>[https://epochryphal.tumblr.com/post/90883721292/greyness-301 Greyness: 301]</ref><ref>[https://asexualagenda.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/many-ways-to-be-between/ Many ways to be between]</ref>▼
▲* Experience sexual attraction very weakly.
Greyasexual can be an orientation on its own or be combined with other sexual orientations. For example, one could be greysexual and [[gay]] (grey-homosexual). ▼
* Feeling uncertain about whether they experience sexual attraction.
▲* Feeling alienated from sexuality.

▲Greyasexual can be an orientation on its own or be combined with other sexual orientations. For example, one could be greysexual and [[gay]] (grey-homosexual), meaning that when someone does experience sexual attraction it is only ever towards those of the same gender.
The romantic counterpart to grey-asexual is [[greyromantic]].
