⭐ Core Definition: Gray asexuality

Graysexuality, gray asexuality, or gray-sexuality (also spelled grey) is a sexuality within the asexual spectrum. It is often defined as limited amounts of sexual attraction that can vary in intensity. Individuals who identify with gray asexuality are referred to as being gray-A or gray ace, and are within what is referred to as the "asexual umbrella". Within the asexual spectrum are terms such as demisexual, graysexual, asexual, and many other types of non-allosexual identities.

The emergence of online communities, such as the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN), has given graysexual people locations to discuss their orientation.

Gray asexuality in the context of Asexuality

Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. It may be considered a sexual orientation or the lack thereof. It may also be categorized more widely, to include a broad spectrum of asexual sub-identities.

Asexuality is distinct from abstention from sexual activity and from celibacy, which are behavioral and generally motivated by factors such as an individual's personal, social, or religious beliefs. Sexual orientation, unlike sexual behavior, is believed to be "enduring". Some asexual people engage in sexual activity despite lacking sexual attraction or a desire for sex, for a number of reasons, such as a desire to physically please themselves or romantic partners, or a desire to have children.
