Dontgiveafucksexuals Fandom Members (aka Pansexual)

So if straight people can rock their own thread, why not the types who don't consider gender when their looking for relationships or what-have-you?

My ideas on pansexuality can be summed up in a single interaction I had with a friend in which we were discussing sexualities and pansexual in general. When I talked about seeing love outside of gender, he said, "Yeah, you know if my best friend was a girl, I'd totally fucking marry him. So I see what you mean." I didn't know how to respond. I wanted to say, "Uhm... I'm...sorry that you... feel like you can't." Instead I just nodded and kept on with the discussion.

And I was just thinking the whole time--man. I feel for you. In another time and place, your best friend is your soul mate. But hey--that's the way sexualities are. They open and close doors to romance, love, and sweaty one night stands. Pansexual is the one that flings open the doors and says "ALRIGHT. Take off your gender-tags. Let's see what we got." Who all here share that same sentiment?

Or, if someone here is straight/gay/lesbian/bisexual, what would you do if you found yourself in a situation where someone outside your sexuality qualified for every single thing you'd like to see in a prospective partner? Would you be open to being flexible with your sexuality? Yes? No? Or as someone who's never been straight, am I asking a really non-point question?

Before responding to this OP, check this post I made after some more thought, thinking, and research. https://forums.furaffinity.net/thre...a-Pansexual)?p=4888074&viewfull=1#post4888074

I preemptively thank you for considering me to be a person open to different ideas and criticism and ofr any respect you're willing to show for someone who believes in something you may not agree with.

What follows was my original OP--as misguided in explanation as it was.
------


Now. Before the question gets brought up, because it will, there's lots of people who aren't sure of the distinction between Bisexual and Pansexual. Basically, so far as I can tell, there are two ways people seem to differentiate between them. Don't take this too literally, because at the end of the day, you are the only person who can define your sexuality.

A: Bisexuals see male/female romantic partners and appreciate them for their expression of their maleness/femaleness (whether it's fem, butch, etc), while pansexuals don't particularly care either way.

B: Pansexuality also covers the realm of transgender, intersex, androgynous, while bisexuality sticks to the male/female genders.

Again, these things are not concrete declarations, but rather just one perspective on the bisexual/pansexual conundrum. I invite you to do your own research to answer your own questions if you have them. The internet has a fuck-ton knowledge. Don't ask a question you can't google yourself, in other words.

And besides--this is just to see who's in the same mindset. So reveal thyselves. C'mon. Speak up. What you got going on? What's your story?

I have always felt I identified more with Pansexuality than Bisexuality, because it was never male or female? It was always, "Well, hey! That person looks nice and maybe they prefer they/them pronouns!"
Even at a really young age, I never like one gender more than any other genders? I just liked people, for people!
I will definitely be referring to it as don'tgiveafucksexual now, though! xD haha

I suppose the first thing I should mention is that It wasn't too long ago that I actually learned Pansexual was a word, let alone that it's definition better fit me than what I was considering myself.
Like Jaska had mentioned, I always found it far more reasonable to be able to love someone simply for who they are, and that nothing else mattered. So when I keep an eye out for the right person, there's no filter for what gender they are, or what they look like.
That is the reasoning of my conscience, my sub-conscience is a little different. Sometimes I'll find one gender more attractive than the other, sometimes not, it really flies in a bunch of random directions to what my mind is attracted to. But if it ever came to be that I found someone I cared for, that wouldn't matter; my conscience always over-rules my sub-conscience. :eek:

I do t understand what is so hard for people to understand about that. When I was 17, I was at a house party and my friend told me, basically that pansexual was about being attracted to someone because of their personality. That makes sense.

Me, personally, I most likely couldn't do that (they would have to be a dude and I know that), but it creates a distinct idea from bisexuality.

My friend, I do think was pansexual herself, but she wouldn't say anything for sure. I could well be wrong though. Our group of friends were pretty shitty to her about everything. She had no interest in having sex at all (which is fine) but the other girls thought she was really weird and kept trying to convince her she did. There were a couple of other things like that too. I feel pretty bad for her, and I hope she's gotten better friends who would accept her as she was.

I don't bother adhering to any faddy sexual labels, for I am a fickle creature of whim.

Actually that's demisexuality, or whatever. Nobody is possibly going to learn all of these labels or care about them, given that the people who use them barely know what they mean.

IIRC she actually said polysexual. But, that was. Term that I never heard again from anyone else, not even in this fandom, so I kind of assumed polysexual was another term for pansexual, and that she was talking about pansexual because it sounded very similar in definition. Probably a very stupid assumption.

[hypocrite]Suffice to say 'straight' and 'Gay' and 'Ambiguous' are probably all the terms anyone will ever need. When people get much more precise it's like they feel it's necessary that I know and approve of their specific choice of sexual partners and activities, when actually that's a mundane and unimportant subject.[/hypocrite]
 

Pantheros

you are me, and i am you
what would you do if you found yourself in a situation where someone outside your sexuality qualified for every single thing you'd like to see in a prospective partner?
hmmmm, well if somehow i would be broken like that, i really don't know what i would do. There aren't that many situations i can think of that would put my in such a possition so i would have to say no dice.

Would you be open to being flexible with your sexuality? Yes? No?
No. deffinetly not. 100% straight guy here

Or as someone who's never been straight, am I asking a really non-point question?
fair question i suppose. It might make a few straight guys ask themselfs some questions.

"Ambiguous" is a pretty darned good term for a sexuality if I say so myself. A nice blanket term that anyone can define.

Thanks for the honest answers! I didn't want to make it seem like it was a loaded question that would force someone into answer, but really ones that had the option of saying, "Hmmmm nope, that would never happen."

That's pretty much where one is pretty "meh" on the sex thing, but don't mind being romantic with partners in a really gross cute way?

i've always been a little hesitant about using labels beyond general ranges on what has been decided to be a fluid scale, but then again i'm just a big faggot so i can't really speak for anyone

How perfect would the world be if everyone recognized the fluid scale nature of sexuality? Labels would become a nonpoint. But, while we're here with half the world thinking that it's all binary, Gay/Straight, On/Off, 0/1, I guess we could discuss the thought processes behind them while we're here.

My mum found it comical that sinead O'conner [apparently] described herself as '75% heterosexual', because she thought it is only really possible to be one or the other, I guess.

I'm not sure any scales can be said to be anything but contrived on this topic. Humans are randy wild animals and we bone what we want, and if we can't bone what we want we bone what we can.

I once had a guy say that he wished I was a girl. I was both flattered and slightly offended. As for my own case I suppose that if I found the right girl then I could just be with her and finally have my mothers love again. Hahaha.....haha....ha....

But seriously, I've tried being into women. I like them aestheically and for their personality, but not at all sexual. I've had women flirt with me and me being totally oblivious to it until someone tells me afterwards. I would like to be more flexible with my sexuality, but I'm......pretty darn gay.

That'll probably be in our species description in an intergalactic species guide one day.

Know what I find strange?
People's description of Greys? You know, the creepy classic area 54 alien?
Yeah, that's the one thing you would cross with a chimp/similar primate to get something human-looking to spit out. I know it's probably just one of those weird confirmation bias theories, but I like chasing irrational possibilities in my head for fun.

fuck im derailing my own thread into something about aliens

You guys are breaking me, you keep mentioning new words for orientations, my poor sheltered mind freaking out like "♪What the fuck is going on!?!?!♫"
I think I'll just stay forever calling myself Pansexual, because I like the word and the description I've been told it means.

If that goes wrong, I'll probably just start saying I'm don'tgiveafucksexual, being self-explanatory is great. :|

Well, yes, and no. It's being "meh" about sex but we still can be emotionally attracted and attached. Most physical contact beyond hugging and cuddling makes me shudder. But then again, asexual have their own preferences when it comes to the "cupcaking" thing.

Try not to take anything too seriously. Again.
Your sexuality is whatever you say it is, and you can make that as dumbly simple or as dumbly complex as you want. And you'll probably be better off and keep more sanity if you don't bother justifying it to people. It's not something you SHOVE out there every day and go about talking to people about it unless it's something your just discussing in general.


... Though how some people beat the conversation into the dirt sometimes, you wouldn't think so. It's like, you could be going to the grocery store in the chip ailse and there's some people who would find something to spark a debate about people being polyamorous or some shit.
