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 other possible greysexual experiences may include:
* Experiencing sexual attraction infrequently.▼
*
*Experiencing sexual attraction only in specific circumstances.
*
*Experiencing attraction that is only ambiguously sexual.
*
*Otherwise
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.[[File:Aceflag.png|thumb|220x220px|The asexual spectrum community flag]]The romantic counterpart to greysexual is [[greyromantic]].

The concept of gray-asexuality developed in the early 2000s on the AVEN forums.<ref>[https://pianycist.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/the-development-of-gray-asexuality-and-demisexuality-as-identity-terms/ The development of gray asexuality and demisexuality as identity terms]
</ref> In 2003, an AVEN member proposed the concept of "semisexuality," naming a half-way point between being asexual and not. Later, in 2006, AVEN member KSpaz proposed the term "gray-a" to describe the "fuzzy" space in the asexual spectrum.<ref>[https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/15539-gray-as/#entry419520 Gray-A's]</ref>

In 2009 and 2010, there was an organized community-wide effort to find consensus on an asexual community flag, resulting in the black, gray, white, and purple design shown here.<ref>[https://asexualagenda.wordpress.com/2018/02/21/the-ace-flag-a-history-and-celebration/ The Ace Flag: A History and Celebration]
</ref> The asexual flag includes a black stripe for asexuality and grey stripe for grey-asexuals.

On December 3rd, 2020 a second greyasexual flag was coined by a user going by Angel. The darker shades represent occasional sexual attraction, the mid-way shades represent being on the ace spectrum, the lightest shades represent feeling no sexual attraction, and the white represents community.
