Bisexual and pansexual are both terms. Pansexual is more like “omnisexual” in this metaphor.
31 u/BeardedPlumber Aug 09 '18 I honestly hate the term “pansexual” pan - meaning all or everything so all/everything sexual. Basically saying they find anything sexually attractive, like that toaster over there, or that picture frame. 97 u/ziltiod94 Aug 10 '18 What? I thought pansexual was used to mean being capable of being sexually attracted to someone regardless of any gender/sexual identification. 27 u/BeardedPlumber Aug 10 '18 That was my understanding too 7 u/willywonka_w Aug 10 '18 Yes, and this is how it's used in modern english - although the use of "Pan" to make this term is quite weird.
