'''Greysexual''', '''Greyasexual''', or '''Grey-Asexual''' and sometimes shortened as '''Grace''' or '''Grey-Ace''' (also spelled with Gray instead of Grey) is a sexual orientation for those who relate with Asexuality, yet feel that there are parts of their experience that aren't fully described by the word [[Asexual]].
* Feeling unsure about how to identify sexual attraction or how to draw the line between sexual and non-sexual, and consequently feeling unsure about having experienced it or not.
* Experiencing attraction that is only ambiguously sexual.
* Feeling alienated from romancesex.
* Feeling attraction only in specific circumstances.
* Finding Asexuality a useful idea, even if it isn't a perfect fit.
