Mono-spec

Mono-spec (or the monoattractional spectrum) is an umbrella term for those who only experience one form of physical/emotional allo-attraction. Someone on the monoattractional spectrum might experience more than one form of attraction; however, the way they experience that attraction, or the amount that they experience, would fall on the a-spectrum. Examples of identities that fall on the a-spectrum include a-, grey-, demi-, fray-, etc.

A mono-spec individual would fall under all of the following except one:


 * The asexual spectrum.
 * The aromantic spectrum.
 * The asensual spectrum.
 * The aplatonic spectrum.
 * The nonaesthetic spectrum.
 * The nonalterous spectrum.
 * The aqueerplatonic spectrum.

Someone who is mono-spec might also be considered aphys-spec, aemo-spec, and/or ater-spec depending on what form of allo-attraction they have.

History
The term was coined by Tumblr user synpa-tee on July 25, 2021.

Flag
The mono-spec flag was inspired by the monoattraction flag. It has five stripes: a purple stripe, a green stripe, an orange stripe, a yellow stripe, and a pink stripe. The meanings are the same as the monoattraction flag. Purple represents sexual attraction, green represents romantic attraction, orange represents sensual attraction, yellow represents platonic attraction, and pink represents aesthetic attraction. A triangular portion of the flag has been put in greyscale to represent the a-spectrum.
