Bisexual - You’re over 35
Pansexual - You’re under 35
Omnisexual - You’ve spent way more time thinking about your sexuality than getting laid
Sapiosexual - You’re a straight guy trying to seem cool and intellectual

Under what does someone fall, who regularly forgets that sex exists, immune to flirting, needs external reminders/influence and effort to get in to the mood, cant wrap their head around attraction at all and completely hates the hand their dealt with?

I like to call it “millenial” vs “gen z” pan/bisexuality
Mesophar@pawb.social 20 hours ago
I’m pansexual, solidly a millennial, and started using the term nearly a decade and a half ago. Which was late to the game, since the term had been around for about a decade before that.
Planchette_Phantom@lemmy.zip 22 hours ago
To be fair, pansexuality is under the umbrella of bisexuality. What makes it more confusing is that there is no rule saying that bisexuals must only be attracted to 2 genders.
MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 22 hours ago
Doesn’t the name imply only two?
FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
No it implies once every other week
Wait
Semjeza@fedinsfw.app 22 hours ago
The “bi” is for both homosexual and heterosexual relations. Not gender itself.
Okokimup@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
Sure but it can be interpreted as “people who share my gender” and “people who do not share my gender.”
Planchette_Phantom@lemmy.zip 22 hours ago
That’s because it’s an extremely old term; it merely refers to someone who is attracted to more than one gender.
anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 22 hours ago
It does, but definitive often diverge from the original over time

Fondots@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
My wife generally says that she’s bi, but if she were coming out today she’s said that she’d probably call herself pan, that just wasn’t really a common term when back when she did come out so she’s spent most of her life calling herself bi, and she just kind of identifies with that label more at this point.
To her, the term bi does kind of imply that someone is attracted only to males or females and would tend to exclude non-binary gender identities (though not necessarily trans people, being MtF or FtM does still kind of line up with a traditional gender binary, a trans man is a man and a trans woman is a woman)
Which doesn’t really describe her, she’d be cool with any identity, which to her is more pan, but again she’s just been calling herself bi for so long it just feels weird to change that, and since she’s off the market at this point it’s a little bit of a moot point anyway since she’s not trying to get in anyone’s pants but mine.
Banana@sh.itjust.works 22 hours ago
As someone who identifies as pansexual, the distinction i make is that I don’t consider gender when vetting a potential partner, it’s just not a metric that is part of that decision.
Aside from that, your description here is spot on from what I understand at least. Of course gender and sexuality is a social construct so other people may feel differently
groet@feddit.org 16 hours ago
bisexual = attracted to all genders pansexual = no gender they are not attracted to
southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 22 hours ago
I tend to head canon it as binarysexual and pansexual, just as a way to keep them straight (heh) when running through things in thought
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 19 hours ago
That’s incorrect though. Bisexual means “homo- and heterosexual” as in, “those that share your gender and those that don’t”.
Which is the same as pansexual. But pansexual is a term invented by people who didn’t understand the above.
Fedegenerate@fedinsfw.app 13 hours ago
I learned long ago whether someone told me they were pan or bi, it took absolutely zero effort on my part to accept and agree with them.
Sure you’re bi/pan, but are you a unicorn, because my fiancée and I really like you’re vibe.
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
As a pan/poly guy… Sup?
Fedegenerate@fedinsfw.app 7 hours ago
I don’t really know how guy unicorns are targeted? Are they? I’ve only heard of the term unicorn being applied to women. But, I’m adjacent to the space at best.
Has cucking, becoming more fashionable increased couples targeting bulls the same way unicorns are? As in toxically.
I suppose it’s different, a unicorn is expected to attended to both partners equally. Whereas, a bull isn’t really.
This is both of topic, and a Wendy’s. I don’t expect an answer.

I didn’t think the /s was necessary… I thought the “we like your vibe” was cliche unicorn hunter speak. I even used the word ‘unicorn’.
Anyways I fully agree, hence how I framed it

cmbabul@slrpnk.net 3 hours ago
It was recently pointed out to me that an outfit I have been rocking for years makes it look like I’m trying to be a walking bisexual flag: pink button up over a purple tank top with blue shorts. This was by coincidence do but I love those colors so I was fully prepared to die on the hill that it was the superior flag.
But after refreshing my memory, you right the pan flag looks like three flavors of ice cream stacked atop each other

Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 19 hours ago
Those are still covered under bisexual though. Technically, if you’re a woman attracted to nonbinary people, you’re heterosexual.
And this is why we invented new and better words.

Nah, that’s the annoying myth that bi people hate. My partner is trans, and transitioned during our relationship, and I always joke that as a lazy bisexual this is perfect for me.
Really it’s just old people (millenials) call it bi, and you young whipper-snappers with your eight track tapes get all pedantic about the sound of the word.

Yeah as a trans woman I’ve never seen someone identify as bi and thought “I shouldn’t hit on her” because of that label. And if I also found men attractive I’d almost certainly use that label.
