    I would also really add that for greysexuals (like myself) there is a real sense of ongoing confusion and discomfort when it comes to having any sexual feelings when they do arise. In the sense that, they happen so infrequently that when they do, it often has this very 'out of left-field' feeling, like a 'what is happening to me' feeling. I often struggle with whether I'm feeling aesthetic, emotional or physical attraction to someone, and then when they person is gone and not in my presence, I feel a palpable sense of relief. This, and other signs, to me made me realize I am graysexual.

      Disculpa por escribir en español, pero google puede traducirlo. Creo que no todos los graysexual sienten un rechazo al sexo todo el tiempo, si se está muy alegre o en un momento donde se sienta mucho cariño por alguien y se pase un momento divertido, la sensación puede llegar a ser placentera, aunque dure muy poco, mucho menos que las personas que no son ace, si la relación es mala y no existe buena comunicación, y la otra persona piensa en sexo, será incómodo. Esto lo digo porque es como decir, que todas las personas tímidas posean el trastorno de la personalidad evitativa, cosa que no es así, hay distintos tipos de timidez, causas, la grisexualidad es más amplia de lo que parece, creo que pertenezco a eso, sin embargo no estoy del todo segura porque no he tenido novios, pero no pienso que este bien generalizar a las personas por sus gustos e intereses, quizás por eso no me siento parte del lgbtq+, pero cada quien es libre de pensar lo que quiera

      Thank you for mentioning the relief part. It’s something I’ve experienced that I used to say I was afraid of men, and sometimes women, but it was only people I thought were also aesthetically attractive. Not knowing what is going on with my brain and body when they are around, getting nervous, feeling extremely shy, and relieved when they leave is probably my flavor of attraction manifesting as nervous energy because I don’t recognize it for what it is, nor know how to act on it.

    I have had the thought for years that I was asexual but always dismissed it because I thought asexual was none whatsoever. Having learned more over this past month about the asexual spectrum has made a lot of things much clearer for me. Still a lot of soul searching to do, but I think I'm on the path finally.

  • @christyfielding7498
    @christyfielding7498 Год назад +74

    It took me literally a couple decades to realize I'm greysexual. When I was younger I mixed romantic attraction with sexual attraction. I didn't know the difference. Plus I was also one of those people who equates self worth and affection with sex. I had to get drunk or at least tipsy to have sex. Why that wasn't a red flag to me I still don't know. I'm 44 now and am so happy I've discovered who I really am and don't feel the need to find a partner. I was in a 13 year abusive relationship with a man that the majority of our fights started over my not wanting to have sex. He just didn't understand how I could love him, want to be with him and not want to have sex. It's hard to find someone that really understands that sex isn't that important (or at all) to some people.

    Thank you so much for clarifying the difference between sexual attraction and libido. I’m not greysexual myself, but it would have been easier to figure out that I was ace if I’d know that libido isn’t attraction and that asexuality is a spectrum, since I’m not super duper ultra sex repulsed. Not sex favorable either, I just don’t have a problem with sexual content in media.

      I spent a very long time trying to get used to it and trying to convince myself I was turned on etc with my ex, and it became the elephant in the room underlying our entire relationship. We had a brilliant friendship and I loved him dearly, but he needed this thing that everybody apparently needed and was considered to be an essential component of a healthy relationship. Thirteen years together - we eventually split up, though stayed friends. It is only in retrospect and with newer understanding of the Ace spectrum that I understand I wasn't broken / damaged, just wired differently. There are times I regret staying together as long as we did but am thankful there was enough affection remaining to rescue the friendship at the core of our relationship. It was a close call though and we both hurt each other. Unless you are with someone who understands and can accept little to no sex without feeling rejected, or you are able to enjoy it as a way of getting close - i think there's a good chance you will hurt each other by staying together. But that's just my take..

      I really recommend checking out AceDadAdvice’s “How to Negotiate Intimacy with an Allo when you are Asexual”.
      He/They do an excellent RUclips vid breaking down how to talk about s€xual and intimate aspects of a relationship between allo-ace individuals. You can maybe use some of those tips while you continue to explore your orientation (which both this channel and that one are great resources for).
      Whatever you do, I hope you remember that you and your experiences are just as important and valid as his. Your voice matters. If he’s not hearing you, I hope you can find the words to get through to him. But if he continues to not hear you, I hope you have a support network to lean on to help you manage a healthy way of navigating through. 💜

    When I was younger, it was 1) bad to be gay in middle school: one more thing to be teased about and 2) begrudgingly okay according to a slight minority in high school to be gay because many people at least pay lip service to being accepting. BUT THERE WERE STILL ONLY 2 CHOICES! 😣
    How could I possibly know that I was a demisexual bi-romantic? How could anyone have known?! And most still wouldn't get it.
    So I gave up dating by the end of the 80s. Then lo, when I wasn't looking, new words emerged to validate my experience!
    Labels are bad when they limit you and put you in a box, and already I see younger folks balk at all these labels for that reason. But for people my age, a label CAN be liberating, just as long as you know labels must be sef-chosen.

  • @Doomsword0
    @Doomsword0 2 года назад +41

    ...this sounds a lot like me actually. for me when I have that attraction it usually isn't very intense. and usually it's during that 'me time' and I'll have thoughts of, oh that person is attractive maybe I would like to do that sort of thing with a person, but then as soon as that 'me time' is finished I loose all interest. also that 'me time' is started not as feeling lots of attraction and needing to do something with it, which I gather is how most people do that, but for me it's more just this'll help relax me and the end of the night. Since learning I'm aromantic I've been questioning myself possibly being ace because of this and it's all very confusing, but I'm going to think about greysexual, thanks for the information Lynn! (also apologizes if that was too much detail I wanted to lay out my thought process, maybe someone else has had similar thoughts)

    This is one of the first videos that helped me understand my sexual orientation! I referred to myself as demisexual in my early 20s, but recently have preferred the broader label of greyasexual. It’s not something I feel the need to throw out there, but it’s helped me to understand what kind of boundaries I need to set in my relationships. I can’t say for certain that I’ve ever experienced sexual attraction, but I don’t think it’s impossible, and that’s why I like the term greyasexual for me.

    I think understanding the difference between libido and attraction was the most difficult part to find myself in the ace spectrum. I always felt a strong attraction to my previous partners, but also had some ONS (felt very miserable after, though). But now I understand I can have my libido higher from time to time, not necessarily being sexually attracted to someone.

    so for me, I consider myself gray-ace because I feel this, like, kink-oriented sexual attraction. I for sure relate to "not being ace or allo" because of my kinks. I know there are some ace people out there who feel no arousal towards their kink, and no sexual attraction towards their partner, but for me that's not the case and it can sometimes make me feel alienated from both asexuality and allosexuality. Kinky aces, unite!

I now realize I'm not demi, as I previously thought, but in fact gray. I genuinely didn't know that others could actually tell the difference between different attractions, because they're all the same to me. I'm pretty sure I feel them all, they're just all the same level of emotional involvement.
    Thank you so much!

    I've been questioning where I would be in the ace spectrum since I do experience sexual attraction but it's very rare, and has nothing to do with my libido. Grayace seems very fitting. Also, Aromantic (Aegoromantic) here.

    What if people who are confused on their sexually start to write comments on the kind of people they are attracted to or what gender they feel they are most likely could be and people who find the comment give their opinion on what they think the people COULD be. Or at least give the person a better idea on what their sexually is.

    Hey Lynn, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe demisexuality falls under the grey-ace umbrella too right? (ie being in the grey area between asexuality and allosexuality) if so would that make me grey-ace? I consider myself demi but I think I may have experienced very weak attraction to some people I didn't particularly know well, or even like that much 😅 but it was hard to tell whether that was what I was feeling.
    I also hear a lot of demisexuals say that once they are attracted to someone it's like a switch flips and their attraction (and libido) suddenly goes from 0 to 9 or 10. Have you ever experienced this as a demisexual?
    I'm not sure I really relate to this way of feeling attraction. The one time it happened was more like my level of attraction gradually increased until I felt okay to "do things" with said person, so to speak. I'm not sure if this is something you relate to at all or if anyone else does. Be interesting to hear your thoughts.
    Thanks as always for your content ☺

    • @rae2blue
      @rae2blue 2 года назад +3

      Hi Cherry, to your question about if demisexuality falls under the grey-ace umbrella: yes and no. Grey-ace is both an umbrella term (and when used as such *would* include demisexuals and other micro-labels) and a stand-alone term (it’s own micro-label). Some people prefer the distinction and others prefer the umbrella term. Neither is right or wrong, and both can be true at the same time. I hope that clarified and didn’t further confuse. 😅
      In regards to understanding your experience, everyone experiences asexuality somewhat uniquely. There are shared experiences, but if your attraction is a slow burn, that’s completely valid! My attraction is very much a flux, which is why I prefer to just keep it broad at gray-ace, even though I know a deep connection *tends* to help it form. Again, it’s all about how *you* prefer to define your experience.
      I hope this helped!

      I really appreciate this cause I’ve been looking up both demi and greysexuality, and tbh I’m not entirely sure which one I fall under because there are moments where I feel like I have an attraction to someone (mostly celeb crushes) but I’m not 100% sure what kind of attraction it is. I also know that I do need an emotional bond/connection, so

    Figuring out I'm grey/demisexual put a lot of things into perspective for me. Especially the point about the attraction you feel being very weak. Hearing people talk about the intense attraction they felt just had me thinking they were all exaggerating because it isn't that crazy of a feeling and how the hell was I supposed to know that they all literally felt like three times the attraction that I did xD

    TIL that there is a term for my extremely limited interest in being sexual, I previously thought that I just rarely met anyone that I can be turned on by, even as a teenager, I just wasn't interested in chasing girls and knew I didn't swing the other way either, it is nice to know there are others like me in that respects.

Why would I not be considered straight when I'm only romantically and sexually attracted to the opposite gender (meaning heteroromantic and heterosexual) of me (I am cisfemale) and am identifying as under the ace spectrum (more specifically thinking I'm demi-grey aegosexual)? I've done intimate things but I have actually had.. ya know.. so can I even be sure about being under the ace umbrella?

Any time I start speaking to someone I tell them from the get go that my sex drive is super low and affected by ptsd, but even on the rare occasion a potential partner is willing to 'put up with' my chronic pain And lack of physical capabilities,they all eventually want sex and then leave when they don't get it. I really want kids and a life partner, but I'm 27 and fear my clock is running out and I'm scared il never find someone to love me even though I don't think I'm thay hard to ith and always put the other person's needs before my own.
    Any advice please?

    I was talking to my dad, and for context when I first mentioned I was ace I literally had to convince him that asexuality was a thing in the first place so that's who I was talking to. I was trying to explain the difference between libido and attraction (very simple difference right?) and his response was "I feel like you're overthinking it". I mean he's respectful and all but also so fundementally not understanding that some people aren't capable of feeling these things. So yea xd

    I thought I was demisexual for a while but it didn't really fit since I do sometimes feel sexual attraction without being friends first. But really the only one I think was missed in the video is the kinky graysexual where they only have kinks and aren't attracted to bodies.

  • @0roseable
    @0roseable 8 месяцев назад

    I've been wondering if I'm one the asexual spectrum. And this helped a lot - I'm definitely not completely ace. And it's taken me until 42 to start to wonder if I'm one the ace spectrum because I definitely feel romantic attraction, and didn't realise that the attraction I feel might just be romantic and not sexual. But grey/demi fits well for me I think. There isn't nothing, but I think it tends much more to be romantic attraction. And this label might be something I can take on without feeling like I'm being dramatic by calling myself ace.

    I want to be clear that I ask this question to see could I be asexual or greysexual, or do I just have some issues with intimacy.
    Is it possible for someone to be greysexual or asexual if they enjoy erotic entertainment (yes porn being among them), yet dose not seek out sexual or romantic relationships in real life? Is that a thing could be a sign of greysexuality or asexuality? Or are they just signs I have issues with physical intimacy? Or could these equally applies to both scenarios, so nothing can be fully determined by these details alone?

      It sounds like you could be aegosexual! Liking erotic content or even pleasing oneself, but not wanting to do such actions with another, is a big sign of aegosexuality! It is a microlabel, so it is possible to be gray/demi/asexual too! Hope this helps!

    I recently became biromantic instead of bisexual, because I’ve been thinking that I’m ace. However, my libido is almost non existent but I do occasionally feel sexual feelings, it’s really hard to feel these feelings though. I’d struggle with feeling sexual attraction and sometimes I’d even force myself or fake my sexual attraction. Nothing. I would think there is something wrong with me for the longest time. I would almost never think of sex and sometimes I get grossed out by it.
