Graysexuality

Graysexual is apart of the asexual community!

Graysexual is apart of the asexual community. Definitions vary from person to person, but a generally accepted definition for graysexual is "Someone who is rarely experiencing sexual attraction and/or under very specific circumstances." Please note that "rarely" can depend on the person (once a week vs once a month vs once a year vs once every few years). Demisexual is perhaps one of the most, if not the most well known graysexual identity.  Graysexual can be used as an umbrella term or individual term. 

The flag was created by a user that goes by the name "Shikku27316". I could not find a year for when the flag was created.  The colors mean, according to Shikku27316 "The purple was asexuality, the white was allosexuality, and the grey was the region of "getting over" asexuality, and then "getting over" allosexuality to be asexual again, but that sounds pretty dumb, plus it's not the only definition of greysexual. So, the colours mean the same, but it's kinda symbolising the two coming together to make the grey area". 

Many graysexuals see themselves as "Not asexual but I do experience sexual attraction (although rarely), but I don't really feel connected to the alloseuxal (not asexual) community because I just don't think/feel/experience things like they do." This is why many asexuals and graysexuals say "asexual spectrum" or "asexual community". Some people feel differently ("There's asexual and then allosexual (non-asexual), that's it").

My apologies

I'd like to give a formal apology to my readers - since I work in healthcare, my work schedule has been crazy busy as of late. I will do...
