Re: Question on sexuality- bi/pan/demi
(Anonymous) 2012-09-04 01:00 am (UTC)(link)Pansexuality is the capacity to be attracted to anyone regardless of gender. This does not mean a pansexual person is attracted to anyone, just that gender is not a factor in who they're attracted to. This is a term that does not have much currency in the general populace.
Bisexuality is the capacity to be attracted to both men and women. However, people differ on what this actually means. Some bisexual people are attracted solely to cismen and ciswomen. Others can be attracted to transmen and transwomen as well, but not other types of genders (e.g. they may not be attracted to people who identify as androgynous, genderqueer, third gender, etc.). And some bisexual people are what most of us would call pansexual, in that they can be attracted to people of any gender, including genders outside the male/female binary; however, because the term "pansexual" is of limited currency outside of certain arenas, they use the term "bisexual" so that their sexual orientations are easily understood by the general public without having to explain themselves and the differences between bisexuality and pansexuality.
Demisexuality is another animal altogether. It generally refers to people who have a capacity for sexual attraction only when there is an emotional component present as well. In other words, they won't run into some attractive person at a bar and think, "I'd sleep with that person," or think that an actor is sexy. Without some kind of emotional attachment, demisexual people aren't sexually attracted to people. Demisexuality gives no indication of the genders of the people involved; demisexuality is found in all types of sexual orientations.
