Spectrosexual, also known as spirisexual, is defined as the attraction to ghosts, poltergeists, or phantoms. One who is spectrosexual may find little to no attraction to real-life individuals, which would make it an a-spec identity.
It is usually defined as a fictosexual identity. Spectrosexual does not refer to the attraction to dead bodies, and this term is not to be used by those with necrophillic intent.
