The frayexual flag
Fraysexual, also known as ignotasexual, is a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum describing when someone only experiences sexual attraction towards those that they are not deeply connected with and lose that attraction as they get to know the person. Fraysexual is often described as being the "opposite" of demisexual.
Fraysexual can be a sexual orientation on its own or can combined with other orientations. For example, one could be fraysexual and gay, meaning that when one does experience sexual attraction it is only towards people of the same gender.
Fraysexual people, after losing their sexual attraction, can still have sensual attraction for a person.
The romantic counterpart to fraysexual is frayromantic.
Flag[]
The Fray flag (made for and used by both Fraysexuals and Frayromantics) was made by tumblr user pridearchive on July 28th, 2014.[1]
Blue and cyan are meant to represent a less familiar relationship with other people (strangers/acquaintanceship), with blue being the complementary color to red and yellow, which symbolize romantic and platonic love. Complementary colors were chosen instead of opposites (which would have been green and purple) because it would have looked too similar to other existing flags. The white stripe represents a lack of attraction. The grey stripe represents the "grey area" and confusing when being confronted with Fraysexual or Frayromantic feelings.[1]
Etymology[]
The prefix fray- comes from the Old English word for stranger.
