Fraysexuality (also less commonly known as ignotasexual) is the phenomenon of people who are sexually attracted to people they don't know, and the more they know a person, the less they are sexually attracted to them, and is a subsector of grey asexuality.
Characteristics
Attraction can disappear if an emotional connection develops.[11][3] In a way, the emergence of attraction in fraysexuality is conditioned almost exclusively to unknown people,[12][13][14] even feeling immediate attraction to them,[15][16][17] or people who they are not attached to.[18][19][20]
It is often described as the polar opposite of demisexuality.[21][22][2]

The attribution of the term fray as sexuality is credited to Tumblr user edensmachine, an account that has been deactivated, and has existed since at least 2014.[23] The term fraysexual is probably a neologism from fray,[24] which means fighting, which could represent the lack or breaking of affective bonds in people fighting.[25][26]
