PimsMcgee Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Okay so I have been going through a questioning faze for a while and i need some help sssooo here’s what’s going on I’ve been experimenting with labels and I believe I might be greysexual?? Because i do experience some degree of sexual attraction (I think) but I don't have any sexual desires when I'm in a relationship with another person until I've been with them for a really long time and like when someone does try to get sexual with me and I have never met them or I’m not close to them I feel really uncomfortable, but like it pretty much just boils down to I’m not sure whether or not I’m on the ace spectrum. Any thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
NickyTannock Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Welcome to AVEN! It sounds like you might be Demisexual, which is someone who experiences Sexual Attraction only after forming an emotional connection. Link to post Share on other sites

Builderboy Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Welcome!

ôÿē èîęēú ïė ēôēįîûôø Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 @PimsMcgee Hi! Welcome to heAVEN! There's an infinite amount of here, so take what you want! You sound like you could be greysexual toward those with whom you're not in a relationship, but once you get to know someone and have a chance to be in a relationship with them, it seems as if you become more demisexual toward them.

Athena32 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I think that if you feel the most comfortable calling yourself gray ace, than you can totally do it! Don't feel like you need to give yourself a label if you don't want one- it sounds like you're on the ace spectrum, but it's okay to not know exactly where you are. Gray-ace can be used as both a specific orientation and an umbrella term, and another umbrella term that you can use is A-spec. I would suggest doing some poking around and reading other people's stories-- that really helped me determine what I was. Good luck, and have some cake! Link to post Share on other sites
