I think that I might be Graysexual, on some level. I have only just learned the term, and I feel so confused about how I feel. It's taken awhile for me to admit it to myself but I rarely feel attracted to a person's appearance, immediately. I can only think of a couple of instances where that has happened. I have a interest in sex, but when the opportunity comes to do it with another person, I don't want to. I do want to be in a romantic relationship, but it just seems so hard for me to be physically attracted to anyone.

@BabyPanda7173 welcome to MSF. I am sorry you experience some difficulty in romantic relationships.

I am over 50 years old and so I notice my attraction to others has changed significantly as I get older. Hope this is not causing you distress. Many people have different feels about intimacy and there is no right way to be, despite the societal and peer pressure we may feel.

Hope you get the support you are looking for. @CANDC

I've identified myself on the asexual spectrum ever since I discovered the term (around 15-16 years old). I tell people I'm gray-ace and it makes a lot of sense to me but I feel confuses others in some way.
