Any pansexuals here?

[RJDiogenes]

You cannot call yourself omnisexual and then pick and choose what you are attracted to. Suck it up, you are bi

Since when do you get to decide someone else's sexuality?

Well until you people start figuring this stuff out for yourselves, I'm going to have to carry the responsibility.

If you all spent less time watching Star Trek and more time learning what the prefixes 'omni-' and 'pan'- meant, we wouldn't be in this situation.

Perhaps you should spend less time trying to prove how kewl you are, and more time becoming fluent in English.

I would so do Angelina. What does that make me?

Delightfully interesting.

A Jolie person.

That means pretty in French. You flirt.

Chase me.

Pansexual? Hell no, it is too specific a term and places too much limits on one's sexuality.

I think no, I love females, I like male-to-female transsexuals, I don't like males (but I do feel some sexual attraction to them), and I'm literally disgusted at female-to-male transsexuals. That said, I think the personality and my connection with the person matters most when I have an attraction to someone. With the exception of incredibly beautiful women to which I have an immediate and very strong sexual attraction, I can develop an attraction towards anyone of any gender. I think. I haven't had one towards a man so far so I'm not certain...

I don't like males (but I do feel some sexual attraction to them),

How so? That seems like an oxymoron.

Have you ever loved someone without liking them?

Have you ever loved someone without liking them?

Of course but that's friendship. His implication was he was also physically attracted to men but says he wasn't unless I misunderstood.

Having a deep or loving friendship with someone of the same sex isn't the same as having even a fleeting physical attraction.

I'd say it's the exact opposite of friendship.

What I'm saying is that it's the same basic principle. He finds himself attracted to some men, but finds the idea of pursuing it unsettling. This is usually the result of emotional conflict coming up against biological imperative. For example, the chemical bond that brings one to love members of the family one can't really stand.

As a gay man J. Allen, I'm not attracted to all men either. But I do find the male form attractive - but not everyone's.

Whereas, even very attractive women that most men universally find good looking [Hallie Berry, Beyonce, Jolie etc] does nothing for me.

So at least for me it's difficult to understand how someone could be attracted physically to just one man but not men generally.

Regarding pursing those feelings and it being unsettling - typically there are words for that - denial - shame - fear. But in my experience those people to use a urban term are on the "DL," and are really gay but afraid to admit it to themselves and others.

I'm not saying I'm right BTW - that's just my experience and POV.

Anything can trigger sexual attraction in a person. There may be one particular male who has a quality not found in most other males. The same applies to the opposite sex. Just because others find those women beautiful doesn't mean you will. You have different triggers for sexual stimulation.

As we find out every day, human sexuality isn't as defined as we'd like it to be.

There can be words for that, yes. Some people are in denial, and it terrifies them. Some are ashamed or fearful that they've done "evil" or "wrong" for liking someone of the same (or opposite) sex. Those are mental and emotional roadblocks. Those people need help, but they have to want help. However, not every person who is repulsed by most men yet finds one or two attractive means they are in denial, shame or fear. It's simply biology at work.

You're essentially describing the Kinsey sexuality scale, the assertion that many fall somewhere in between 100% gay and 100% straight but in between.

While I understand the premise I've never known anyone in real life that was 50/50.

Are you saying that you are such a person?

No, not in this case. I'm not describing the Kinsey sexuality scale. It has been noticed by some researchers that Kinsey's scale doesn't give the whole picture, that there are multiple levels the scale doesn't quite address, hence why I said sexuality isn't as defined as we'd like to think.

While I understand the premise I've never known anyone in real life that was 50/50.

Are you saying that you are such a person?

I do and I don't fit the scale's definition of bisexual. I do, in the fact that I like men and women, but I don't in that my sexual triggers aren't necessarily gender based. That is why more work needs to be done. I'm sure someone has been working on expanding such research.

Without taste in women?

The problem with "bi-" (if there is one) is that a narrow definition means you are sexually attracted to both males and females, however there are people in the world who fall outside of "males and females."

If you should be attracted to someone with no gender you would be what then? Or towards someone like myself, who is at a mid-point between the two traditional opposite ends of the sexual spectrum.

I like male-to-female transsexuals

Oh baby!!!

Wait a minute. Am I the only one getting slammed for who attracts me?
