The English term '''spousosexual''' or '''spouseosexual''' ("[[spouse]]" & "-sexual") refers to someone who experiences [[sexual attraction]] only to his or her husband, wife or longtime companion. The term is particularly common in reference to individuals who are generally [[same-sex attraction|same-sex attracted]], but show no interest in the opposite sex with the exception of one particular individual. It can therefore be seen as a particular case of [[bisexuality]], similar to the term [[bi-curious]].

The term presumably originated as a spontanous creation and was used as a joke. For example, one usage occurred in 2005 in an Internet forum discussion about metrosexuality, where this term was jokingly defined as "only sleep[ing] with meteorologist[s]"<ref>yrwyddfa: [http://www.vbforums.com/showpost.php?p=2130610&postcount=12 Community > General Discussion / Chit Chat: I have to say that], VBForums, 19.

Take your pick:<br/>http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/bbcweather/todays_forecasters.shtml<br/>I guess I would have to fall in the spouseosexual classification."</ref> Another occurrence dates from November 2008 in a [[blog]] commentary, where a man said he had sex only with his wife.<ref>[http://www.blogger.com/profile/12862893880440624911 James] aus England: [http://reallivelesbian.blogspot.com/2008/11/i-had-dream.html?showComment=1225949220000#c5907534674455161795 I Had A Dream], Real Live Lesbian, 5.

I'm a spouseosexual..I just like doing it with my wife."</ref> He made also the spontaneous creation ''spousophile'' in May 2009.<ref>James: [http://themsmeprivatethoughts.blogspot.com/2009/05/one-woman-man.html One woman man], themsmeprivatethoughts.blogspot.com, 31.

[[Warren Throckmorton]] first used the term on 14 March 2008 in his blog in an article about [[heterosexuality]] among homosexually oriented men.<ref>Warren Throckmorton: [http://wthrockmorton.com/2008/03/14/which-is-the-real-me/ Which is the real me?], wthrockmorton.com, 14. März 2008</ref> He was uncertain whether he had developed the term himself or whether he had heard it from an interview partner. His attention to this topic had developed after he had read "Are Self-identified Bisexuals Just Lying to Us-or to Themselves?" by Daryl J. Bem.<ref>Daryl J. Bem, Cornell University: [http://dbem.ws/Are%20Bisexuals%20Lying.pdf "Are Self-identified Bisexuals Just Lying to Us—or to Themselves?"], Posted to Sexnet July 16, 2005</ref> There, especially in the last paragraph, men who described themselves as being married to women, claimed a bisexual identity, although they were generally attracted only to men, because at the same time, they felt a genuine love for their wives and had satisfying sexual relations with her, although they were not sexually attracted to any other women. Such marriages are also called [[mixed-orientation marriage]]s.

The term can also describe the situation of many [[ex-gay]]s, about whom the psychologist [[Stanton L. Jones]] writes: "A typical hetero male finds himself attracted to a wide range of females. But among the successful people who reported conversion the typical response was I'm very happy with my sexual responses to my wife, but I don't experience much hetero attraction to other women. Also, when asked and pressed about whether they still find attraction to men, they will say: 'Yes, if I let my mind go in that direction.'"<ref>Charles Lewis: [http://www.nationalpost.com/m/story.html?id=1871531&s=Home Homosexuality: Trouble on the reorient express - Gay conversion still focus of controversy], National Post, 7.
