Unsure What Category I Fall Into?

Hi irminsul

 

you responded......



op.....time will tell....doesn't matter what we think...only matters what you think

 

Except it does matter what everyone else thinks

This:

Is only really becuase of their appearance, something out of the ordinary you dont see everyday. Even though as you admit, you've never really known any

And likely you'd turn around and criticise others for judging you or other people on their appearance.

So the category you fall into, is pretty much just like everybody else

 

I thought pansexual meant you are attracted to anyone regardless of gender or sexual orientation. This means they would be attracted to men, women, trans, asexual or any other person. A bisexuals person on the other hand is attracted to either men or women.

Age has nothing to do with that, you still have to find a person attractive or connect with them first. It doesn't mean you would just fuck anything.

 

Then it just means you are attracted one type above others, nothing omni about it

Either you are attracted to everything equally ( which yes would include age) or you are not. Only one of these things can be true

Its a big steaming pile of horse manure

 

That's an extremely literal way of interpreting something. Also the official definition is attraction to any sex or gender identity, it says nothing about fucking anything that moves. I just looked it up.

 

I do in fact know a few trans people and have a definite attraction to one of them, but I can't pursue anything as he is in a relationship . I wouldn't say I am attracted to him because he is "something out of the ordinary". I just find him handsome and funny, yet he was born a she.

I would not critique people for judging on appearance, its a perfectly natural human thing to gravitate to people because of how they look (granted its not the only attribute most look for in a partner). I just would say that in my experience so far with my relationships, it would seem in my mind that I am sexually attracted to people for a multitude of reasons (yes appearance is one of them) but gender so far has not factored into that equation.

I didn't mean to start any conflict I just was looking for some advice, I often get frustrated not being able to correctly explain my sexual preferences to others.

 

I guess my main point is terms like pansexual sound like a bit of a wank.

Be careful not to strike out with someone before you've even realise cos you may say something like that.

You may not care what I or anyone else here thinks, but someone in real life that gets the blood flowing you. Everyone says they dont care what people think, but they do, especially if its someone you are going to get some action with

 

Oh the Internet breeds conflict, whether you want it to or not. Don't worry about it, I consider it healthy debate.

It sounds to me like you are worrying a bit too much about what to categorize yourself. Perhaps you could just say that you like people and leave it at that?

 

Your definitely not bi. If you are attracted to trans people aswell as men and women then you are pansexual.

 

Pansexual means you are attracted to the horned god!

 

This thread is 8 months out of date, but my 2 cents worth:
According to the Urban Dictionary ( http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=omnisexual )
"omnisexual
generally interchangable with pansexual. one whose romantic, emotional, or sexual attractions are geared towards others regardless of sex and/or gender expression. "

dictionary.com has a similar definition stemming from the definition for "pansexual (def 2)":


"Also, omnisexual. expressing or involving sexuality in all its forms, or sexual activity with people of any sexual orientation or gender identity."

In many ways, bisexual males and females fit into this category also. I would not reject a platonic date with anyone from within the LGBTQ umbrella. Perhaps, if the date/partner is interested in engaging in sexual activity, I would only know then if I am truly pansexual/omnisexual. I believe I would, but life is full of unknowns.

The Urban Dictionary actually expands the definition from the sexual aspect, and includes "romantic" and "emotional" areas in the definition. You may find that you may have emotional and/or romantic feelings for LGBTQ people who do not arouse you sexually.



#BillyRose, ignore the labels. Just be comfortable with who you are, and enjoy life in whatever way satisfies you.
