Common Asexual Identities

Demisexual: Demisexuals are people on the asexuality spectrum who only experience sexual attraction in the context of a strong relationship with another person. For demisexuals, attraction only occurs in the context of a close intimate relationship.

Gray asexuality: Sometimes called gray-ace, gray asexuality has a fluid definition that means different things to different people. Graysexual individuals often feel sexual attraction infrequently or have less of a desire to engage in sexual activity.

The difference between demisexuality and gray sexuality is people who are graysexual don't need an emotional bond to feel sexual attraction like demisexuals.
