I identify myself as bisexual, having been attracted to females and males. But what is pansexual? The article indicates it's attraction to all genders. But I've always thought there were only two genders. Please explain it all to me. Thanks!

I consider myself an asexual pansexual and asexual sapiosexual. If I could date Data or Spock, I would. Actually, when I was about 10 years old, give or take, I had a crush on a half-alien boy character from this television show called "Starman." I think they based the series off the movie "Starman" that preceded it. I knew then that I was interested in really anybody or anything I could fall in love with - with or without the physical intimacy, though some level of attraction must be there. I think I love the idea of falling in love with an alien or a different being. I think humans scare me. But that's just me being weird. Of course, I am attracted to humans. I just have a hard time with trust. I kind of cope with fantasizing once in a while.
Sapiosexual is when you are attracted to people for their intellectual capabilities/intelligence. That's me, too. I'm asexual because of my multiple traumas in the past, so I prefer to fall in love without the intercourse. It's a unique kind of thing for me. I'm okay being alone, but if I had a choice, and if I ever felt like I could trust again, I would describe myself as these. I think these are the "+" in the LGBTQ+ community. |

Example a woman who is pansexual may go to an event and be attracted to the key speakers not because of their gender (he, she, they them ect..) but rather because the speaker appears to be a good person, living a good life and share the same common interests. Bisexuality is when based gender a person is sexually attracted to both that good looking guy over there and that beautiful woman over there. when actually engaging in sexual activities they enjoy "it" with both .....genders. homosexuality / gay/ lesbian is being sexually attracted to and enjoying sex with people of the same.........gender..........as their self. intimate relations with other genders or orientations just dont interest nor "do it" for a gay or lesbian person. I am lesbian and I have tried intimate relationships with men and it just doesnt get the job done nor does it hold my interest, nor am I attracted in any way to other non lesbians. I am happily married to my wife. Asexuality is when someone does not get sexually attracted to any gender or orientation. physically they do not have the interest nor the physical attraction, nor the physical responses because their body does not have sexually activating endorphins and sexual responses. they dont think about sex in terms of liking or hating because their bodies and brain do not physically or mentally respond to sex that way. Transgender is when one is born with one gender but because of many situations, mostly physical are actually the opposite gender and sexual orientation. Another term that gets mixed up is celibacy. This is when a person regardless of gender or sexual orientation purposely chooses not to engage in any kind of sex. This can happen just as a healthy choice or because someone has been harmed through sex and now they have problems with engaging in sex acts. There was a time because of my being an abuse survivor that I purposely said no to sex, hand holding and so on. may with PTSD and other disorders related to abuse go through a period of time where they purposely avoid engaging in intimate relationships. |
