When Less Is More: Let’s Talk About Fraysexuality
“In a most general sense, the more a fraysexual gets to know a person, the less sexually desirable that individual becomes” WORDS BY BOBBY BOX HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN If you’re someone who routinely finds yourself becoming less sexually attracted to somebody the better you get to know them, there is a chance you may be fraysexual.
