More often than not, I fall into the label gray-sexual — which falls under the Asexual umbrella.
For me, gray-sexual is experienced as limited sexual attraction, or sex not being an important part of the relationship I tend to crave.
Related to the above, sometimes demi-sexual and demi-romantic feel more accurate. For me, I cannot usually experience sexual or romantic attractions until there is an emotional connection, BUT, that doesn’t mean that sexual or romantic feelings are inevitable. Because see previous post about relationships.
I very often feel like I can’t fit in with fellow ace or aro folks because of how much I seem to bounce around on the spectrum. And sometimes you just have That Person in your life that you cannot fit into any label and then makes you questions everything?
That’s why I feel more at home with the gray labels, the both/and, the fluidity of it all.
Because it’s all a spectrum.
