Tensexual

TENSEXUAL
Adjective
Definition: Of, relating to, involving, and/or characteristic of sexual tension, esp. that which results in frustration and/or dissatisfaction for those who personally experience this erotic conflict and/or those cognizant observers acquainted with these players and said sexual situation.
Etymology: Combination of “tense” (Latin tnsus, past participle of tendere, to stretch) and “sexual” (Late Latin sexulis, from Latin sexus, sex). First used in 2006 to describe the condition that developed when two good-looking, companionable, single, and heterosexual American college students of opposite genders failed to consummate their obviously mutual sexual attraction to one another.
“This tensexual situation is not only unnecessary because it results from absurd human drama, but it is also illogical and against natural instincts.”
