I’ve recently met a man whose dating profile said that he’s Graysexual. I tried Googling the term, but it’s a bit confusing and I’m hoping to get a straightforward breakdown from the kind folks in this community.
From what I gather, it’s a branch of asexuality that sometimes feels sexual attraction. That’s a bit ambiguous, though.
I will ask the person directly once we’ve spoken more, but it will help to have a foundation of understanding beforehand. Thanks ahead of time!
The descriptions you found on google are probably vague because different people will mean different things when they say they’re graysexual. The other person already explained well what it means, but the specifics can be different for everyone. For example, some might experience attraction weakly but all of the time, some might experience it more strongly, but only rarely, and then no attraction at all the rest of the time. Both of these people could refer to themselves as graysexual. But since you relate and plan on communicating well, I bet you’ll be fine. Good luck!
Thank you! It makes sense that it’s a “gray” area. :P I’m hoping to chat with this gent soon and understand what it means to him.
