Pansexuality - what IS it?

[York Minster]

PANSEXUALITY.

I would like anyone who believes panSEXUALITY is a real thing, a real SEXUALITY, to explain to me how this is (so far, after over a dozen conversations with pansexuals online, I still can't figure it out).

It appears to be a fad among 16 year old girls (if there are 35 year old pansexuals, I don't know where they are). They want to be into all things tolerance and egalitarianism, so they come up with a glorified bisexualism (already a fad). They all say it's about personality, not about gender. Hmm, alright. Except, sexuality deals with attraction to sex, male or female, more than gender. Pansexuals claim they don't like kids or animals, but what if, say, hypothetically, a 16 year old girls boyfriend's soul entered the body of a dog. It's the same personality, so would she boing the dog?

I do not know the social construction or history of pansexuality. My guess is it came from people having a difficult time in relationships with gender benders, women with penises, etc.

Here is what I think: If you like mens AND womens bodies and you discriminate based on personality, you're bisexual. IF you DON'T discriminate based on personality, you're a douche.

Now, all this said, I would LOVE for a pansexual, or someone who understands pansexuality to come on here and set me straight with a long well reasoned post. I am REALLY trying to understand this is a real thing, but I'm just not there. I understand 16 year old girls have little reason to be into boys their age, boys who have lost all the usual ideals of being a man and gentleman. But pansexuality, I think, should be called pangenderism, and even then, if you just like all genders (male, female, and all inbetween) that is STILL PART OF A PERSONS IDENITY. It's not some totally seperate thing from the personality.


Sorry about this rant, but this has really been bugging me, and some people online I would otherwise totally get along with have disagreed sharply with me on this issue. So, someone set me straight? Or back me up?

Just one thing, can you title the threads properly, so i (we) can decide if it's a waste of server space before it's opened. Just sayin'

I dont know about the pansexual thing, but I always have wondered about how alot of young women seem to be so wanting to swirl in the notion they are bi-sexual. while I am concious of the fact there are alot of lesbians out there I also take notice that these girls just seem to do it to play to the crowd of guys at the bar to get a reaction as it seem to be in vogue now.

you cant be at a bar here without seeing some girl who is th focus of guys fondle her female friend and then giggle like crazy like she just did something risque.

Oh, thank God. It can't be me, then.

PS Yeah, try to make a bit of an effort with the topic titles. I'd hate to have to change them for you because I really couldn't be trusted not to edit them nefariously with all manner of hilarious possibilities...

[York Minster]

Title changed. Would really appreciate answers helping me understand this concept. It's been really bugging me.

Please do let me know, skyhigh, why you make such a statement.

You do seem to have an inordinate interest in what teenage girls are doing. You don't play for Hearts by any chance?

this.

a lot of things ive read from you on here suggest to me that you are a bit of a deviant or could be and think there are intellectual ways to explain yourself or justify your thoughts.

Pan sexuality, sounds like some sort of postmodern 'fetish'.

Calling someone a paedophile is a very serious accusation btw........

In who's world?

I'm not calling anyone a paedophile anyway. I'm reading things Scapa posts and thinking it sounds odd.
