An umbrella term for someone who is on the asexual spectrum.
It encompasses people who identify strongly with asexuality, but don’t feel like asexual is the most correct word for them. There are many possible definitions and identities under the gray asexual umbrella, but here are some of the most commonly seen ones:
- feels sexual attraction infrequently, of low intensity, to few people, or in specific circumstances
- feels sexual attraction, but has no desire to act on it
- has confusing or ambiguous feelings of sexual attraction
- feels that sexual attraction is not a meaningful concept to them personally
The main thing to remember about gray asexuality is that an individual is allowed to define it any way they choose and that it is a unique orientation. If a gray asexual’s definition doesn’t match up with one of the above, it doesn’t mean their identity is not valid.

adj: sometimes having sexual attraction and/or feelings, but usually not. generally asexual but perhaps capable of sexual desire under certain conditions, eg love or romance.
noun: person who identifies as graysexual
Whereas sexual orientation exists along a continuum of heterosexual, bisexual and homosexual, sex drive also exists along a continuum. Some people (highly sexual) desire to have sex with anyone they can; some people (strictly asexual) have no sexual desires; graysexuals are predominantly asexual but capable of manifesting sexual desires under specific circumstances. This is not to be confused with an asexual that is satisfying a partner's sexual desires despite lacking sexual desire of their own.

Get the graysexual mug.The Demi part means that you're not romantically attracted to people unless you form a strong bond with them. Therefore, when you see random people or whatever, you don't feel attracted to them unless you fall for their personality after you get to know them. So, you don't really get "crushes" like most people do.
The Panromantic part means that if/when you fall for someone, they could be any gender, meaning that you could be attracted to any gender or gender identity.
The Gray-Asexual part means several things, but for example: you feel sexual attraction infrequently, or a low intensity of it, to few people, or only in specific circumstances; that you feel sexual attraction but have no desire to act on it; that you have ambiguous or confusing feelings toward sexual attraction; or that you feel that sexual attraction is not a meaningful concept to you.
