M-spec straight, also called Mesrien and Jupiteric in the astral alignment system, is a term for individuals who both identify as both m-spec and straight. These individuals may also identify with the terms straight queer, heteroflexible, strayt, along with many others.
One might identify as m-spec straight for many reasons:
- As a use of SAM (split attraction model)
- like being m-spec with romantic attraction and heterosexual
- Someone has a fluid orientation that goes between m-spec and straight
- Someone prioritizes their attraction to the opposite gender(s)
- An individual is multigendered and/or fluid in gender, so their attraction is straight sometimes, and m-spec other times.
