I know this is off topic, but it's really bothering me.

Is there a word for "has only had relationships with the opposite sex thus far but is totally open to dating either as long as we're compatible" other than bisexual? To me that feels like being specifically attracted to both sexes when it honestly just...doesn't matter to me.

I feel way too old to still not be sure about this.

I am basically the same, I have only dated men, had some experiences with women when I was younger, but nothing more than pg13ness out of curiosity.

I am one of those if I like someone I like 'em, why label it really, but then again, there would be nice to have a word for it I guess?

SA

Yeah, I guess it really doesn't matter, but it would just be nice to feel like there was a word that fit me. While all my friends are like gay/straight/bi/something-romantic that's some long word that I can't remember, I'm like "uh, no idea". It just bugs me, I guess.

pansexual?

I'd heard the word but for some reason thought it meant something else, but...it could work. It fits better than anything else I've come across so far, anyway, so thank you for that!

Personally I prefer "queer", "pansexual" might work too but you'd probably have to explain both of those. Not a lot of people have heard of "pansexual" and "queer" is a pretty loaded term.

(Anonymous) 2012-05-06 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'd always heard "queer" and liked how all-encompassing it was and that there wasn't one specific definition, but always hesitated to use it because of the negative connotations to the word. Someone above suggested "pansexual", which seems to fit fairly well, but you're right that a lot of people aren't familiar with it (I'd heard the word but wasn't entirely sure what it meant).
