Single-Target Sexuality: Difference between revisions

* Itsuki from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' is "Sensui-sexual". He even {{spoiler|loves all of Sensui's personalities, no matter how vile. His official favorite is Shinobu, the original one, although Naru - [[The Cutie|a young girl]] who is [[Naive Everygirl|naive and innocent]] - comes in second}}.

** It's worth pointing out that Itsuki's manga version talks about how he really started hanging around young Sensui because he knew the other would break eventually and he ''loves'' to see [[Break the Cutie|pure things shattered]]. Man who seemed cute in the anime turns out to be [[Author Appeal|seriously twisted]] in his own right.

* Amane Misa from ''[[Death Note]]'' can be described as "Kira-sexual" or "Light-sexual". (Although if she had to choose one or the other, she'd choose Light.)

* Fandom has described Subaru in ''[[X 1999]]'' and ''[[Tokyo Babylon]]'' as "Seishirou-sexual" and vice versa, though it's pretty common for [[CLAMP]] characters to pick one person and stay with him or her for their entire life.

** And, of course, Nina is Euphie-sexual. It's possible that Suzaku might be as well.

** Shirley for Lelouch who nicknamed him Lulu and {{spoiler|[[Dying Declaration of Love|died telling him]] that if she were reborn, she would still fall in love with him over and over again.}}

* Hinata Hyuga from ''[[Naruto]]'' is "Naruto-sexual", as a result of her admiring Naruto's persistence and determination, and having become more self-confident as a result of his influence.

** Karin is very much "Sasuke-sexual''.

** One joke/explanation for Germany/Italy shippers is that the usually stoic Germany is Ita-sexual.

** Come on, you guys forgot that Holy Roman Empire is Ita-sexual? {{spoiler|Some fans will tell you this doesn't count because of the Germany-is-HRE theory, making this a double-submisson.}} If I recall correctly:

* In ''[[Bakuman｡]]'', Miho Azuki has never been interested in anyone other than her classmate Moritaka Mashiro, as she has been attracted to him since fourth grade.

* From all indications, Firo from ''[[Baccano]]'' seems to be Ennis-sexual, despite the fact that she [[Artificial Human|takes a long time]] [[Asexual|to catch on]]. And even though they're both immortal and have plenty of time, there's still something to be said for the fact that Firo waited ''fifty years'' for her to agree to marriage, and even though they're now living together hasn't tried anything.

* In [[Lois McMaster Bujold]]'s [[Vorkosigan Saga|Barrayar]] books, Aral Vorkosigan is an interesting variation: he's attracted to other men -- and to Cordelia, the woman he loves.

** Got lampshaded in Barrayar, even.

'''Cordelia:''' "[[Unfortunate Implications|Was bisexual. Now he's monogamous.]]" }}

* ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'': Jaime Lannister has, to the best knowledge of the reader, only ever loved/had sex with {{spoiler|his twin sister Cersei}}, to the point where he's disturbed when he experiences attraction to another woman. Not so much the other way around (to quote Tyrion, "{{spoiler|No one can say that my sister does not love her family}}").

** {{spoiler|Although Justine eventually realizes her Thomas-sexuality can be used a solution to that particular issue.}}

* Locke Lamora from Scott Lynch's [[Gentleman Bastard]] series is so in love with Sabetha that he's [[The Loins Sleep Tonight|unable to perform with anyone else]], even a hooker he specifically selected because she looked like her.

* In the [[Charles de Lint]] novel, ''Memory and Dream'', the deceased Kathy describes herself as not being gay or straight, she doesn't love anyone else, just her best friend (and protagonist) Isabelle...who is, if not precisely homophobic, definitely very straight.

* Alec in Lynn Flewelling's [[Nightrunner|Nightrunners]] - he has quite a narrowed taste. Before he and Seregil achieve the [[Official Couple]] level he sleeps only with women (one precisely) who remind him of Seregil. If you're not dark brunette, slender and blessed with a face that at least vaguely resembles Seregil you either stand no chance - or you need magic to get into Alec's pants.

== Live Action TV ==

* Although he once speaks of having had other girlfriends, Ned from ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' pretty much only has eyes for Chuck, at one point telling her plainly that she's the only one for him. It's even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in "Smell of Success":

** This is actually more of an aversion of this trope. From the beginning Dick was deeply interested in Mary, but any time they're not actually a couple he displays physical attraction to other women. There's also a period where he's having fantasies about Nina (and stupidly discusses it with Mary and Nina). However, he's only ever been in love with Mary and the few relationships and attractions he's had to other women have never been as powerful or important to him as her.

* Ianto Jones from ''[[Torchwood]]'' seems only capable of having infatuation with one person at time, which (might?) explain why he doesn't actually consider himself bisexual.

* ''[[Oz]]'''s Chris Keller is very much [[Ho Yay|Beecher-sexual]].

** And Ryan is Dr. Nathan sexual. [[Stalker with a Crush|To a very]] creepy [[Yandere|extreme]].

* Rory from [[Doctor Who]] is a raging Amy-sexual. So much so, that he is [[Mistaken for Gay]]... by Amy (she assumed he was gay because, though she'd known him since childhood, she'd never seen him show interest in girls. Turns out it was because from the beginning [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|he'd only wanted her.]])

** There's [http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/3457520.html a comic] in which Amy and the Doctor are [[Freaky Friday Flip|bodyswapped]]. Amy once comments that they'd better get this fixed or [http://images.plurk.com/9c3b518ccce321adfbe9d5caabf90884.jpg certain things] on and off the marriage front will be difficult, but after initial brainbreak Rory starts treating her and the Doctor exactly as before, down to holding Amy when Time Lord senses start overwhelming her and calmly threatening the Doctor when he does something that seems counter to Amy's long-term well being. At the end of the issue he says he doesn't care what she looks like, he loves her, and passionately kisses a Time Lord... but they've switched back. He's the last to know.

* Whether intentionally or not, ''[[The X-Files]]'' has ''Mulder'' (of all people) becoming this towards Scully. In early seasons, Mulder would hit on other women, make lecherous comments, etc. By the end of the series, we hadn't seen that in quite awhile--it was all directed at Scully. It becomes a hilarious (and cute) plot point in the 2008 movie "I Want to Believe." The young agent who requests Mulder and Scully's help on a case develops (or already had, it's unclear) a crush on Mulder and hits on him quite a bit. Mulder doesn't notice...but Scully does.

** Although Mulder does have a raging porn addiction.

* Incredibly widely used in popular music through the years. For example:

** The Platters, "Only You"

and fill my heart with love for only you }}

** "I only have eyes for you", composed in 1934 by Harry Warren and lyricist Al Dubin, and performed by artists as diverse as Frank Sinatra, Al Jolson, Billie Holliday, Rod Stewart, and The Flamingos.

And I only have eyes for you }}

** "He Stopped Loving Her Today", written by Bobby Braddock and Curly Putman, and released in 1980 by George Jones:

He stopped loving her today. }}

** "There Will Never Be Another You", written by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon

Like yours used to do }}

** Even 90s indie pop got in on the game, as in "Anyone Else Isn't You" by The Field Mice, written by singer Bobby Wratten:

And if they're not you, I don't want to know... }}

* Arguably [[Toshimitsu Deyama|Toshi]] of [[X Japan]], if the lyrics of "Crystal Piano no Kimi," his overwrought love poem for his lifelong (aside for 10 years) best friend and band co-founder [[Yoshiki Hayashi|Yoshiki]] are any indication.

== Theatre ==

* ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'': The Phantom for Christine. Oh so much.

* Panini is [[Chowder]]-sexual.

* This sums up Coach Stopframe's behavior towards Clay in ''[[Moral Orel]]''.

* In the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "The Prisoner of Benda" we learn that Fry and Leela can be physically intimate even if Fry is in the body of a disgusting lobster person, and Leela has the body of an 180 year old man. Of course, there's a decent chance they did all that because they were too prideful to admit there are circumstances where one might find their significant other unattractive, which would make the person "shallow" in their kooky relationship.

** Also, in the episode [[wikipedia:War Is the H-Word|War Is The H-Word]] Leela disguises herself as a young man to enlist in the military, under which guise Zapp finds himself increasingly attracted to 'him':

** And upon discovering her true identity after she's summarily kicked his ass:

'''Leela:''' Let's do it again sometime. }}

* Heloise of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' only loves Jimmy and no one else.
