Could you explain to me what the difference between pansexuality and bisexuality is?Ilikemilkshake said:Well from experiance, 95% of "bisexuals" i know are just doing it for attention, oh look at me i kissed someone of the same sex im so cool, give me attention.
But speaking as a pansexual with quite a few actual bisexual friends, yes bisexuality is a real thing, its not just for people who cant make their mind up or are in denial.
Cuz this totally doesn't harken back to the days when gay people were treated as mentally ill. Seriously humanity never ceases to amaze me, by how utterly retarded, ignorant and hate filled it really is.Steel_viper said:no i'm not trolling, i just happen to have an opinion based in realityVault Citizen said:Are you trolling? I can't tell if you really think bisexuality is a mental illness or not, if you do, where did you check?Steel_viper said:last time i checked bisexuality is still considered a mental illness
i've never met a bi-sexual, always self labeled, who challenged my perception of this theory be it through dialogue or actions.
I'm too old now to have to think about it anyways as all the people i've met who used to think it was hip to be Bi have grown out of it.
Though there can be no doubt that having a Bi girlfriend was the closest i ever got to a 3-way, funny how unappealing that can be when you're the only stable participant.
Pansexuality would be loving all people regardless of geneder. This could be with people who don't identify themselves as either a man or a woman strictly. While Bi-sexuality is usually with people identifying with a single gender of either male or female.DYin01 said:Could you explain to me what the difference between pansexuality and bisexuality is?Ilikemilkshake said:Well from experiance, 95% of "bisexuals" i know are just doing it for attention, oh look at me i kissed someone of the same sex im so cool, give me attention.

I understand how you're feeling completely. It's the hetero's of the past's fault, mainly. If society wasn't so rigidly heteronormative, which is what forced the homo's to have to define the culture in the way they did when they started gaining acceptance as a group, maybe people wouldn't be over-exposed to both groups and made to see things so in such dichotomous terms. There's two more letters in LGBT than the L and G, people. Just because the bi's and trans' aren't always so fucking noisy about it doesn't mean they aren't here.holy_secret said:Snip
Someone else asked the same thing earlier, so i'll just quote what i said before:DYin01 said:Could you explain to me what the difference between pansexuality and bisexuality is?Ilikemilkshake said:Well from experiance, 95% of "bisexuals" i know are just doing it for attention, oh look at me i kissed someone of the same sex im so cool, give me attention.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexuality
Basically im attracted to People, rather than any specific gender. And i dont really have to find someone specifically physically attractive in order to be romantically involved with them.
To put it humourously, its basically like being Super-Bi
In the end, you'd eventually have to settle or find people that consider an everything goes relationship enthralling and have no issues with jealousy.holy_secret said:So escapist people. What do you think of bisexuality? Is it a bunch of bullshit?
I never got that. In Sweden, the LGBT movement thingy or whatever the hell you want to call it is called HBT (Homo-Bi-Transexual).8bitlove2a03 said:I understand how you're feeling completely.

That about sums things up.Kathinka said:why apply this stupid kind of categorization anyway? just date and have sex with whoever it's fun to you (and who consents, of course) and don't worry about terminology.
Well, pardon my feeling an urge to respond to this, even though it was not a question to begin with:Shiny Koi said:- The strangest one of all: I'm semi-active in my local gay community. Someone mentioned in a forum that it was bisexuality pride day some month or two ago. You would not believe the torrent of bigoted comments from gay people themselves, usually some shit of "You're either one or the other".
To think humanity sexuality an be define as straight or not is a bunch of BS, we all are bisexual to some degree just some of us can't admit it.holy_secret said:In order not to confuse anyone, I need to tell you that I'm a dude.
I've heard this. A lot of times.
Wherever I go, whomever I talk to, this is the thing that pops up in their mind.
Their gender or sexuality doesn't matter, it's always the same.
If I tell someone I chose a guy in front of a girl, I have always got this as a response; "Maybe you are just completely gay". Every. Single. Time.
The same works the other way around. Except this time, the heterosexuals say that "maybe you were just experimenting with homosexuality" and the homosexuals say that "you are in denial bladibibla".
Even the last guy I was dating was like this. He was convinced I was homosexual because I was in love with him (and him being a guy).
This was okay in the beginning. I didn't really mind this. I know what I am and I don't care what anyone thinks of it.
However. This has been going on for several years. It's not really about the years. It's about the fact that this has been going on for as long as I have been open about my sexuality.
Now, this is pissing me off incredibly. Of course, this makes these people say "oooooh why are you getting so upset huh? :3 You know what it means when you take it personal riiiiight?"
I'm not taking it personally, I am just tired of hearing how I am and what I am is a lie and to be told I am something else. I know what I am and nothing is going to change that.
Point is, people are hell bent on telling me bisexuality is bullshit.
That's my rant.
So escapist people. What do you think of bisexuality? Is it a bunch of bullshit?
Probably because Americans are obsessed with gender as well as sexuality, and so decided to further subdivide it. Or maybe in the 70s the male and female homosexuals each thought the other group was stupid and wanted to be separate. I don't know. I'm sure it boils down to people being stupid though. That's usually how these arbitrary divisions happen.holy_secret said:I never got that.
