The New York Post says that more and more Gen Z people are identifying as graysexual. This is a sexual identity that lies between being allosexual (frequently feeling sexual attraction) and asexual (not feeling sexual attraction at all). A graysexual person could not feel sexual attraction very often, or it might only happen under certain conditions.
The graysexual community is growing online, and the r/Graysexuality subreddit on Reddit now has more than 8,300 members. People on the site talk about their own problems and experiences, which is part of a larger trend among Gen Z toward more complex sexual identities and frank conversations about attraction and intimacy.
Dan Beeson, a graysexual male from London, told Cosmopolitan UK that his experience includes “being completely devoid of sexual desire for months at a time, and then one day waking up and realizing that instinct has returned.” He said that it was “reassuring” to encounter a group of others who felt the same way.
Graysexuality, also spelled “greysexual,” is a term that describes a range of limited or infrequent sexual interest. There is no one description for it.
