Bisexual - You’re over 35

Pansexual - You’re under 35

Omnisexual - You’ve spent way more time thinking about your sexuality than getting laid

Demisexual - You’re way more queer than you’re ready to admit.

Sapiosexual - You’re a straight guy trying to impress the cute barista by seeming cool and intellectual. You are failing. Or you are a woman on a dating app trying to stop the endless flood of low-effort “sup” introductions. You are also failing.

Edit: Forgot one!

Heteroflexible - Willing to touch someone of the same gender sorta sexually for an audience if you think it means you’ll get a threesome later.

I've been Demisexual since I first watched Striptease as a teenager.

I like to call it "millenial" vs "gen z" pan/bisexuality

[-] Mesophar@pawb.social 16 points 4 months 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.

I thought pansexual was where you had the legs of a goat, played a little reed flute, and got off on being generally mischievous.

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?

A bisexual is a pansexual who's had enough of kitchen jokes

[-] bingrazer@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

Would a pansexual be a bisexual who's had enough shopping jokes?

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 4 months ago

No. But of Bicycles.

[-] manuremy@sopuli.xyz 12 points 4 months ago

Wait, I'm sorry but I have never heard a bisexual shopping joke. Would you please educate me?

[-] bingrazer@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

Sorry, I don't actually know any, but I guessed the kitchen jokes about pansexual are related to the "pan" part. I then though it feasible there were shopping jokes about bisexuals because of the "bi" (homophone for buy) part.

[-] manuremy@sopuli.xyz 16 points 4 months ago

Ah okay! I'm more into the utensils.

[-] thenextguy@lemmy.world 51 points 4 months ago

Being a lover of cast iron cookware, I identify as pansexual.

[-] QualifiedKitten@discuss.online 44 points 4 months ago

I just like the bisexual flag colors better.

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Same. That's literally the only reason I say bi and not pan

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 your vibe.

Wait, wait, wait, pansexual is when you have a love for wide screen photography, right?

What do the columns, the stalactite-stalagmites grow from in this analogy.

[-] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 33 points 4 months ago

When a bisexual and a pansexual love each other very much... they grow together :)

Best explanation I've heard yet.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

This is a character written by a straight-ish enby webcomic author, but I like how Ruth from Dumbing of Age phrased her pansexuality:

"I don't care how someone's shaped."

I'm bi and there's a lot of objectively attractive people I do not give a dang about. I am not into everyone who's hot or interesting or has a great personality. I just don't care about gender, specifically. Could you pull off a skirt? Great, whatever's beneath it is negotiable.

[-] trublu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 months ago

The difference is that the pans got the better flag colors.

I just thought pansexuals didn't exclude furries.
