When I see those words next to sexual, my mind makes a connection between open enjoyment and sex itself. Andrew, when I hear pan or omni I think of all encompassing and versatile and easy to please.

I considered myself pansexual, because that's what I was told I was, but I really don't know. I'm not sexually attracted to either gender; I just think they're both beautiful. I consider males hot, but I can't look at an incredibly sexy male and think "I'd have sex with him." I wouldn't have sex with anybody unless I was completely in love with them. Only when I'm in love is when I'll be sexually attracted to a person. I hate not being able to tell people what I am, because that means I just have to explain it, and they'll think I'm extremely fucking weird. Not that I mind, mind you; I just hate having to explain things like that. It takes so much time. I’m exactly the same way.

I like your blogspace. =) I think that I will stick around. It is keen to find safe space as a feminist and as a pansexual. I have to ask why you write that the term "pansexual" suggests that a person likes sex? I mean why does "pansexual" or "omnisexual" denote being "into sex" any more than bisexual, homosexual, or heterosexual for example? I am not saying that I necessarily disagree, I am just curious as to the premises of your argument. Peace and Love, Andrew Good day. I like your blogspace. =) I think that I will stick around.

I'm glad we're able to identify, that's like the biggest reward for a blog post. :) LT, I’m really happy you were able to realize something knew about yourself from reading my post.

I can't define who I am either. I can't say any of the labels I have heard describe what/how attracts me to others. I find I am attracted to people who are not only intelligent, but they put it to good use. So I could be attracted to anyone. Would that be a pansexual? (no idea what that entails) just seems to fit. But on the other hand, I can leave sex and not think twice about it. It's the emotional need inside that I crave. To be loved for who I am, appriciated for who I am and to be able to return that love 10 fold. No matter who it is. (consenting adult of course, gah don't think I am that bad) **shivers inspite of herself** One thing I am positive of, is I am in the wrong body. That's always been there. The anger and frustration of everything boiling inside me, the one truth that I cannot deny. I have never admitted it til just now. LT I was moved by your post. I can’t define who I am either.

I hope that I will inspire you to write your own. I'll be all the more flattered if it is similar. I'm happy to find that I'm not so unique after all. You know, you're someone I really see referred to as heterosexual by default when people discuss how surprised they are that you're a man.

Weird (but in a good sort of way). I'm glad you did the work of articulating it, but if I ever articulate my own sexuality, I'm gonna have to work hard to not swipe from this post!
