Frayfluid is an aroace identity where one's loss of romantic and sexual attraction fluctuates in intensity, getting weaker the more one gets to know someone, until it fully fades away. Once attraction fades away completely it doesn't return. Someone who is frayfluid can still feel other types of attraction such as platonic, sensual, queerplatonic, etc.
It is a combination of fraysefluid and frayrofluid. Frayfluid can be combined with other orientations, or used as an orientation on its own. For example, one could be frayfluid and straight.
History
The term and its flag were coined and created by Twitter users PJrainb0ws and kaelin_aether on June 13th, 2021, along with fraysefluid and frayrofluid.[1] Frayfluid was created as a type of a-spec identity for those who experience attraction that fades away, fluctuating in intensity before doing so. It was coined as its own specific label, because while it is a type of fraysexual and frayromantic, it is still a unique experience.
Flag
The frayfluid flag was created by overlapping the fraysefluid and frayrofluid flags. The flag has seven stripes, a dark blue-purple at the top, a greyish teal, light teal, white, teal-grey, navy-gray and a darker blue-purple at the base. The flag can also be depicted with seven stripes, mirrored above and below the middle white stripe.
