We want to write about pansexuality today to help anyone get a clear picture of what it is and how it is different from other sexualities.
Many people confuse pansexuality, demisexuality, bisexuality, and polysexuality a lot and is understandable. Two of them are similar, two of them overlap in some ways, and three of them are relatively new formed sexualities.
For all of you funny ones, pansexuality is not being attracted to pans, or for you Spanish speaking people, nor the attraction to bread. Many people have come up to ask me about pansexuality. Before explaining it, I ask them what they think it is. Most of them tell me they had heard a pansexual was a person that wasn’t attracted to anyone unless they had a strong romantic bond with the person, which is in fact wrong, that is demisexuality.
Some people thought it was another word for bisexual just like homosexuals have other names such as gays, lesbians, queers, etc. which is also wrong.
Someone who identifies as pansexual is someone who is attracted to any person regardless of their sex or gender identity. In Greek, the prefix “pan” means all. Thus, pansexuality means all sexes/genders. Pansexuality, like all other sexualities, has been around forever, but has only been recognized recently.
Pansexuality: what it really is
Reblog this if you believe that Demisexuality exists and if you support Demisexuals
I’m sick of seeing apparently ‘LGBT inclusive’ posts that completely disregard my sexuality. I want to know who out there believes that I and others like me exist and have a valid sexuality.
