My next novel We awaken is about two asexual women in a same-sex relationship. To write these characters I did a lot of research on the ace community (of which I am a member) and talked with people who do not feel sexual attraction, which showed me how much of a spectrum that sexuality can be. For example, one of the members of the main couple likes to kiss because it is romantic, but not the other. Women are interested only, but the other does not really take gender into account when falling for someone. People contain multitudes and asexuality is more than just a lack of sexual attraction.
Grey asexuality is for those who feel somewhere between you and sexual-they might feel sexual attraction rarely or only in specific circumstances. You may think does not feel everyone that sexual attraction in specific circumstances? This is true, except with aces gray case of attraction are often particularly rare. There may be many years between. Gray is an important marker because it allows unsurety. Sometimes people do not know if they feel sexual attraction is really because it's not like there's a lot to compare. It is ideal for those who have much in common with the asexual community but feel like the title is not quite right.
A gray-demisexuality sexuality is when someone does not feel sexual attraction after forming a close relationship with another. Many people have sex only with people they are close with, anyway, but demisexuality differs from that demisexuals literally do not feel attracted to someone they have not developed strong links with emotional.
There is no singular definition for gray asexuality that allows it to be more inclusive. It is for people who know they belong somewhere among the aces, but are not quite sure where. Some have and enjoy sex, others do not. Growing up as a half or can be painful, and you often feel broken. It is particularly confused during adolescence when everyone discovers and becomes obsessed with sex as they come to terms with their own identities. It is important that we have a representation because many people do not know asexuality is not uncommon. A lack of knowledge leads to a society of judgment.
Although I have it, I can only speak for the type of experience asexuality and I did not invalidate any of its various forms. My first step was the generic Googling what I wrote, and it actually helped him understand the basic definitions of my sexuality better, but still was not enough. There is very little material on this sex and not much is firsthand. The internet was my friend again though, and I happened to other members of the asexual community to hear their experiences, which I incorporated into the story.
If you have a question, ask it. Do not be afraid to go out and ask for help or do your own research because people generally want to support you. There is this stereotype of you miss 100% of the photos you do not take but you never really know what you have missed opportunities not to reach out. Conduct interviews. questions by email. Talk to people online in department stores. Any amount of real-world experience using
On a grade separation in terms of being as gray and decide who you are. I say if a valid tag, seems to fit, and makes you happy, use it and who cares what someone has to say
