Where do you find yourself on the orientation spectrum?

*Can explain further if you wish*

*If you identify some other way, feel free to add*

I used to identify as pan, but since it was difficult to explain to people I just decided to go by bisexual.

Yea I've tried to tell people in the past that preferences are all over the place.
I've heard several hetero women say they identify as straight, would have fun time with a woman, but never date a woman.

There's theres people who are hetero flexible. They identify as gay but can sometimes be attracted to opposite sex

By difficult I mean nobody outside the LGBT knows what pan means and I got tired explaining what it meant to everyone, so I just say bi out of convenience and laziness. They essentially mean the same thing and I don't like the spotlight on me trying to explain myself all the time.

There's plenty of curiosities that hover around bisexuality, also
I tend to get asked if I favor men over women, or are my attraction to both the same or different (like men and stud women)

I don't mind harmless curiosity. But I do understand what you mean by explaining pan in detail

Oh and most at fcn tend to think Im les which always makes me giggle.

I think since tend to banter and flirt with women is why

People who go "well why are you attracted to Butch women when you could date a man" it's ridiculous they don't understand the difference. Masculine women are not the same thing as dating men and the fact that I have to argue that to people even now is dumb.

I don't have an issue with harmless curiosity. My whole aesthetic is one giant question to people and the less questions I get the less irritated I get. It's not irritating to answer people, but when people are already asking about why i'm dressed up, where i'm going, where do you get your clothes etc. Switching to bisexual at least stops the whole "oh but what does pansexual mean, but does that mean you're attracted to XYZ" and lots of other questions that come with the pansexual thing. When someone asks that question, it's an invitation to ask anything that comes with sexuality and LGBT and people want to know the distinction between pansexual and bisexual. And people start asking me questions like i'm the authority on LGBT culture. If it's the time and place sure happy to answer, but usually when i'm in line at starbucks I just don't have the time usually.

Oh I totally get it. Especially when it comes to defining "what" the lgbt spectrum is. Becauses theres no clear black and white answer. It gets quite complicated at times tbh

For instance. Last year I met a chatter somewhere else, who had a female chat persona. By birth, was male, but identified as gender fluid. She/He had breast implants but didn't identify as trans. Because they enjoyed both roles irl.

Was also was bisexual. Seemed to lean more towards women but liked men too.
So labels get really wonky at times. Are you trans, gender fluid, gay, pan, bi, cross dresser etc

Also I had a discussion once, with a friend who was a stud. She admitted she hated labels and felt weird as to where she fell. Inwardly she felt male, struggled with the whole thought of FtM transitioning. But didn't really see herself as trans even tho her outward appearance was masculine.
She still indentifies as lesbian.

Just say you are an opportunist?
 
Sorry if I'm resurrecting an old thread

I identify as polypanro-ace

Polyamorous panromantic (pansexual when it comes to dating and romance) asexual


Not really interested in the sex aspect of a relationship but love the romantic aspect of it, love the kisses, cuddles, snuggles touches and the being there emotionally for my lover


That's not to say I WON'T have sex but it takes me having a strong emotional connection with my lover first and even then I'm doing it for their pleasure, I honestly literally do not feel anything when, say someone is going down on me.
 
"Love is between two people and two hearts no matter what they are on the outside." - Vicki_Wolf

I don't know what that makes me, and I don't really care about labels. All I know is love opens your eyes, your arms, your heart, and your soul to let the right ones in.
