Spectrum between asexuality and allosexuality
Gray asexuality , grey asexuality , or gray-sexuality is the spectrum between asexuality and allosexuality .[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] Individuals who identify with gray asexuality are referred to as being gray-A , gray ace , and make up what is referred to as the "ace umbrella ".[ 5] [ 6] Within this spectrum are terms such as demisexual , semisexual, asexual-ish and sexual-ish.[ 7]
The emergence of online communities, such as the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN), has given gray aces locations to discuss their orientation.[ 8]
