Greyspec, or Grayspec – not experiencing attraction in the same way as others. Some examples are: experiencing attraction less frequently; not experiencing it to the same degree as most; or feeling attraction only occasionally and not all the time.

Greyspec is the grey area between Aspec (little to no attraction) and Allo (experiences attraction normally)

There are many different ways to be greyspec, as it is a spectrum. And greyspec is not just for greysexual or greyromantic, it is a term that can be used for any and all attractions.

It describes someone who experiences limited, little, or no alterous attraction.

The analterous spectrum includes both fully analterous (doesn't experience alterous attraction) people and greyalterous (experiences little or limited alterous attraction) people.

Alterous attraction is attraction which cannot be neatly identified, but is not strictly romantic, platonic, or sexual. It is a "non-binary" form of attraction, so to say.

While being fully analterous is considered the norm in most groups, it is considered atypical for arospec or acespec people to be analterous because they "need to have a replacement for the attraction they are 'lacking'" and "everyone desires partnership of some kind."

As such, being fully analterous isn't necessarily used to describe just having no alterous attraction - it is used to describe having no alterous attraction while being "expected" to experience it.

Greyalterous attraction (ie; lithoalterous, demialterous, etc) labels can apply to anyone, though, whether they are "expected" to experience alterous attraction or not.

(Note: The reason why I said "fully analterous" is because some greyalterous people will call themselves analterous, just like how greysexual people might call themselves ace, greyromantic people might call themselves aro, greyplatonic people might call themselves apl, etc.)
