Huh. I guess no one says "monosexual"

[–] moody@lemmings.world 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You don't need the mono- if there's only one. It's just sexual.

No that is ambigous, it could also mean the opposite of asexual (aka allosexual)

[–] Septimaeus 1 points 2 months ago

And the ambiguity fits bisexuality better anyway. It’s useful too. You can use it to cut the knot on the bi-vs-pan debate, for example, or avoid silly arguments about gender distribution of partners, or say “nunya,” etc.

Sometimes you do. Like monologue. Monogamy. Hm but I guess the root isn't a whole word in those cases.

"No mono" doesn't have the same ring to it. Unless you're indicating that you don't have mono, in which case, it's... informative?

mononucleosis.
