Fraysexuality is in a sense the polar opposite of "demisexuality". It is a sexual orientation found under the asexual umbrella. It means someone who regularly experiences sexual attraction (of varying degrees) to strangers or almost complete strangers (not nessascarily every single stranger they come across but a large chunk of them). However, once they start to get to know the person and the relationship naturally progresses to a title beyond stranger (such as becoming friends with the person), the person regularly experiences loss of sexual attraction. In simple English: they are sexually attracted to strangers or almost complete strangers but once they start to form a bond with said strangers, they no longer feel sexual attraction.
Google Trends shows the term popping up on Google since at least April 2015. However, it is possible the term was coined long before that. It is often difficult to find the exact origins of these newer sexual orientation labels. It is unknown where or who exactly coined "fraysexuality" (Reddit, Tumblr, Facebook, AVEN, somewhere else).
The fraysexual official flag
The flag originated off of Tumblr (the Tumblr is no longer online). However, the flag color meanings mean this: the blue and cyan color represent strangers or less-than-familiar relationships with people. The white is the lack of attraction. The grey/gray (whatever your choice for spelling for this word) represents the confusion that fraysexuals often feel when dealing with relationships.
