When it comes to sexual orientation, you are probably familiar with heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual identities. But what does it mean to be monosexual ? Monosexuality is a term often used in academia as a direct contrast to bisexuality. To be monosexual means to be sexually and/or romantically attracted to only one sex or gender. So whether you are homosexual or heterosexual, you are monosexual. But if you identify as bi, pan, fluid, or queer, then you are considered non-monosexual.
For a long time, monosexuality was considered the norm — especially in terms of heterosexuality. According to a 1953 study by the famous sexologist Alfred Kinsey, 63 percent of surveyed males and 87 percent of surveyed females identified as "exclusively heterosexual." The Kinsey Scale, developed by the social scientist and his colleagues, measures sexuality on a spectrum that ranges from 0-6 ; the numbers depict a scale that goes from exclusively heterosexual to exclusively homosexual (or monosexual) with more fluid orientations in between.
New studies show that monosexual identities are less and less common, especially among the younger generation. In March 2016, the J. Walter Thompson Innovation Group found that less than half of surveyed teenagers identified as completely straight — only 48 percent, to be exact. On top of that, more than one-third of teenagers expressed an identity ranging from numbers 1-5 on the Kinsey Scale , which, according to Mic, "indicates differing levels of bisexuality," or non-monosexual identities.
A 2015 YouGov survey conducted in the United Kingdom found that one in two 18-24 year old young adults did not identify as completely heterosexual, and only a minority of survey respondents agreed with the idea that you can only be monosexual (gay or straight — nothing in between). As Mark Simpson writes for Out, "The fact that only half of 18-24s say they are completely het­ero­sexual is a sign that the younger generation is abandoning mono­sexu­al­ity as a belief system."
Here's what else you should know about monosexual identities...
Our binary understanding of gender and sexuality is responsible for things like biphobia and stigmatization of non-monosexual identities. Bisexuality is often invalidated as an experimental phase that eventually ends with "picking one over the other." Out reports that another 2015 YouGov survey of 18-24 year old Americans (so not the aforementioned queer teens ) found that "half of America does not believe there is such a thing as bisexu­al­ity, and thus any deviation from het­ero­sexu­al­ity is just homo­sexu­al­ity."
In May 2015, The Scottish Equality Network released a report that 48 percent of UK bisexuals had experienced discrimination in medical environments and LGBT spaces, stemming from the heteronormative idea that non-monosexual identities are "greedy," "made-up," etc. People also try to argue that non-monosexual identities don't really exist .
If you explore different blogs about sexuality , you'll come across some arguments against the term "monosexual" due to critiques around the concept of "monosexual privilege." Folks argue that monosexuality lumps heterosexuals, gays, and lesbians together, thus inaccurately claiming that gays and lesbians experience the same privilege as straight people . Because it is not possible for homosexuals to experience straight privilege, some are uncomfortable with the use of an umbrella term. However, those who do use the phrase "monosexual privilege" argue that biphobia is different from homophobia in terms of the "benefits" that homosexuals get to experience.

Bisexuality Wiki is a FANDOM Lifestyle Community.
A monosexual is someone who is sexually attracted to one sex (or gender) only, monosexuality being the corresponding sexual orientation . A monosexual can be either heterosexual or homosexual .

The term is fairly uncommon, mostly used in discussions of bisexuality to denote everyone other than bisexuals/ pansexuals (with the exception of asexuals , who are not sexually attracted to any gender). It was likely adopted in place of unisexual , which is already used in biology and would produce confusion. It is often considered derogatory by the people to whom it is applied, [1] [2] and is not in common use as a self-label by either straight or gay people.

The proportion of people who fit into the category depends on how one uses the word. If the term is used to mean exclusively monosexual in behavior, then according to Alfred Kinsey 's controversial studies , 67% of men and 87-90% of women are what may now be termed "monosexual" as determined by behaviour. [3] If the term is used to describe emotional response, the proportion is lower for men, 58%.

Freud thought that no one was born monosexual and that it had to be taught by parents or society though most people appear to believe that monosexuals are in fact the majority and identify as such.

Music critic and analyst Fred Maus [1] compares the criticism of Béla Bartók's works for their use of tonality and nontonal methods unique to each piece to the bias towards monosexuality and against bisexuality (see biphobia ).

Among those gay men and lesbians who are familiar with this term, it is widely considered to be an ideologically loaded word intended to privilege bisexuality over other sexual orientations. Some in the bisexual community also avoid using the term for this reason.

In the early 1990s a Usenet flamewar raged for many months on the groups soc.bi and soc.motss over whether this term was heterophobic / homophobic , or whether it was simply the justified bisexual response to a frequently biphobic gay and lesbian culture.


LET’S TALK ABOUT MONOSEXUALITY! — is “monosexual” an offensive word? — since a lot of people have been spreading misinformations about the word monosexual, we will address each and everyone of them in this carrd to educate and protect eachother but also to make sure bisexual history isn’t getting erased. CLICK HERE!
“monosexuality excludes nonbinary people.” bisexuality is attraction to genders like and unlike your own. monosexuality is attraction to genders either like or unlike your own. these can encompass as many genders as you identify with being attracted to. as a nonbinary bisexual, nonbinary is not a third gender so stop treating it like one. “it groups us with our oppressors.” some other terms that do this: — cisgender = cis lgbt people & cis straight people — allo = lgbt people with sexual & romantic attraction & cishets with sexual & romantic attraction — nonlesbian = non lesbian lgbt people (usually bi sapphics) & cishets — woman = trans women & cis women — man = trans men & cis men — white = white lgbt people & cishet people => monosexual was made to distinguish bisexuals from others! it’s the same as nonbisexual , but it holds way more meaning & is really important to us bisexuals! it’s a big part of our history. if you’re fine with nonbi, you should also be fine with monosexual! (unless you’re biphobic) it’s very common for words to group you with your oppressors , so what’s wrong about monosexuality in particular ? you’ll survive. “why cant you just say nonbisexual?” first of, nonbisexual would exclude pan/omnisexuals [etc]. whether or not you agree on those labels, they still go through similar experiences as us bisexuals, and aren’t monosexual. secondly, monsexuality is a big part of bisexual history. it is very important to us as it holds great meaning. we shouldn’t have to erase such a meaningful part of our history because of your ignorance . and again, if you dont have a problem with nonbi but you have one with monosexual, you’re most likely ignorant. “it’s offensive/derogatory.” bisexuals did not make this word to talk down on you for not being attracted to all genders. it holds no negative meaning . we made it to talk about our experiences. “it says in the bi manifesto that monosexuality oppressed homosexuals”.” that refers to the concept of monosexuality which you can read about here , not the word itself. “does it imply that lesbians and gays have a ‘monosexual’ privilege ?” monosexual privilege is not real and anyone who says it is is homophobic. the word itself doesn’t imply that. “bisexuals have issues that monosexuals don’t have to deal with” ≠ “monosexuals have privilege over bisexuals.” “why just not say lesbians/gays/hets or etc instead of using monosexual?” the word was made by bisexuals (decades ago) to talk about their experiences overall, not just to pin point biphobia, ignorance & such. monosexual = nonbisexual. yes in some cases it’d be better to call out a certain community for their biphobia, but when talking about general experiences, monosexual is the word to go for. “it just makes me uncomfortable.” if after realizing that monosexual just means nonbisexual, but that it holds a very important place in bisexual history & is really meaningful to us, i don’t see why would you would be uncomfortable by it. again monosexual = nonbisexual. either way, your feelings are valid. you can be uncomfortable by it. but it doesn’t mean you can police what terms bisexuals use to talk about our experiences , especially knowing that they hold an important place to us historically. doing so would be really harmful to bisexuals , and also really hurtful. please respect us as a community:) FINAL NOTE: monosexuality was solely made up for bisexuals/pansexuals to talk about their experiences. it’s not pejorative, it’s not to insult, it’s not to divide the community. it is just as neutral as nonbisexual. this word is just really meaningful for us, and is part of our history . respect that.
this carrd was made by @ maya , & me, @ eden . we're both nb bisexuals.

A monosexual person is romantically, emotionally, and/or sexually attracted towards one gender only. Heterosexuality and homosexuality are the most well-known forms of monosexuality.
The world is increasingly accepting of the LGBTQ+ community, but it isn't always easy to understand the different sub-communities and nuances. In part due to the censorship in sex education and the mainstream media (hello from Singapore), many find themselves stumped by some of the terms relating to the LGBTQ+ community. 
We've created a massive glossary of 69+ LGBT-related terms , built on multiple sources and expanded upon with easy-to-understand examples so that you can get a grasp on all of these terms.
