'''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 [[asexual]]ity, 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 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.

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 greysexual flag was designed by Milith Rusignuolo and was via upload to Wikipedia on June 21, 2013.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20180210192310/https://avia-viridis.neocities.org/flags.html Milith Rusignuolo flags]</ref> It was supposed to be symbolic of someone starting out with no sexual attraction, represented by purple representing asexuality, then entering a single episode of it attraction (grey to white) with white representing [[
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.
The second alternate greysexual flag was designed by Reddit user U/AkidIguess on November 22, 2020.

The third alternate greysexual flag was designed by Reddit user u/adeltae on April 19, 2021. The black represents no sexual attraction, the dark grey represents very little sexual attraction, the purple represents conditional sexual attraction, the light grey represents some sexual attraction, but not as much as allosexual individuals, and the white represents community.
On June 27, 2021, another flag was submitted by nyoomster on the LGBTA+ wiki discord. The flag should recapture the feeling that comes with being in a grey zone, signalised by the grey boarders surrounding the purple colors of the ace spectrum. The purples have been given a slightly darker and refined shade to hint at the uncertainty that may come with being greysexual and to give it a more modern and easy to recognise look.
