/r/pansexual
Welcome to /r/Pansexual! This is a place for all pansexuals to go and talk freely.
People are people. Love is love.
Welcome to /r/pansexual.
Pansexuality refers to the potential for sexual attractions, sexual desire, or romantic love, towards people of all gender identities and biological sexes. Self-identified pansexuals may refer to themselves as gender-blind — that gender and sex are insignificant or irrelevant in determining whether they will be sexually attracted to others.
Pansexuality encompasses all kinds of sexuality; not limited or inhibited in sexual choice with regards to gender or activity. It can also mean attraction is mostly for personality, rather than physical appearance or gender. For many, pansexuality deliberately rejects the gender binary and the idea that there are only two genders.
We’re interested in the tea more than the cup! Pansexuality is not about taking the body out of the equation entirely, but rather, taking the gender out of it. Pansexuals can be described as having a personality-centric attraction more than a body-centric attraction.

It's hard to find time to go out, you know? I'm sure a lot of us are in the same boat wanting to meet queer pals and struggling with where to start. I thought here wasn't a bad place. I'm a nearly 27 year old woman from Canada 😊 Maybe we could be friends 🤷♀️
Hello guys, gals and nonbinary pals, I am here seeking advice
For context. I am a 19 year old nonbinary trans woman/transfem (She/They/Xe pronouns)
I have been switching between sexuality labels for quite some time. Started off as bisexual but have been searching for labels non-stop as eventually I felt as if bisexual personall didn't fit me anymore once I found out I am enby (I know bisexual is more than JUST men and women, but it's a personal preferance on why I don't use it)
I setteled on abrosexual (Where my sexual orientation is fluid), I was on this for a while due to many reasons, me being enby and trying to figure out how I see my sexuality towards all genders, and I went through a nasty break-up with my ex that traumatized me and it really messed with my head (No I will not talk about what happened so please don't ask) so I had no idea what I was for a bit
I have been starting to feel as if abrosexual is no longer the exact fit for me as I have been exploring my sexuality a bit more and deeper these past month or two
I want to call myself pansexual as I feel it fits me best, but im not sure if I exactly can because I have a slight preferance for feminine people regardless of gender identity, body parts, etc. I like masculinity (and androgony) but not as much as femininity. I don't feel as if gender has an impact on who I am attracted to, it's about the connections the most. I also consider myself to be demi-romantic
Sorry if this post is a little too deep. I don't want to make anyone uncomftorable but I really need some help and figure I'd go straight to the belly of the beast to find an answer of some sort
Thank you for reading and have a great day ❤️
Hello my fellow pancakes!
I'm feeling pretty crappy today and need some cheering up. The best way I have found to perk myself up is by boosting others.
So if you care to, please share something awesome about yourself, or something awesome you did/made/wrote whatever. Let this Pan-dad be proud of the wee pancakes here.
Even if you just need a little encouragement I'm here for you!
Feel free to share here or if you are shy dm me your accomplishments.
More often than not I’ll use Bi (or even gay) because its easier, but I came to a realization recently that I can feasibly develop a connection to anyone who is cute, funny, and kind to me. Sounds pretty pan, right? So I use them interchangeably. Is that wrong of me? Even though i am technically bisexual, because I am definitely physically attracted to both sexes I just like the label pan as well because as I said above I can be attracted to anyone as long as they are cute, funny, and kind. does anyone else?
Hey folks, I've got some questions related to pansexuality. Since I have struggling a bit identifying myself sexually lately. So I have been searching both bisexuality and pansexuality. One thing I struggle is the legimatacy of the term pansexuality since I feel is more recent and it is not very based on hard science as I expected. So I want to know if you guys have any sources, materials and research that can at least show me if it is legimate. Sorry if I come off like offensive or bit panphobic but I come from a christian upbringing where those topics are not very talked upon nor it is looked with good eyes. Also I want to know how guys determine you are pansexual and how you deal with it.
I (25 F) have never really explored my queerness as much as I'd like to. I sometimes feel discouraged that I've mostly been involved with cis men. I am on some LGBT apps like Taimi and Her, but for some reason I can't find someone who's also queer in my city that's outside of what I've grown used to. It's unfortunate at times because when it comes to connecting on these dating apps, most of the people I seem to hit off with are in a different state or country .
Yo! I’m Ryan, 24 trans man, wanna chat/flirt? If not have a puppy.
I was playing fallout 4 the other day and I had to definitely download the pansexual mod for the pipboy and the background for it as well.
I like being petted, my mom would pet me when I was little and ever since then it's been comforting. My boyfriend accepts this, but I mentioned it to some of my friends and they seemed to think it was strange...I wonder what you guys think. Is it weird?
Do you guys like it? :3
Hey folks! Got a question here and looking for some advice.
In talking to my girlfriend about looks and such, I said “hm, I wanna be a bear but like. Athletic build. An otter?” And she got upset and said she didn’t like me using those terms. This isn’t the first time she’s gotten defensive over me being visibly pan or relating to gay culture. For context, I’m a trans man, she’s a trans woman, and we’ve been dating for two years now. We both transitioned before dating, and she’s also known that I’m pan since before we were dating. I’m worried that she feels insecure when I self describe like that, even though I fully see her as a woman. She’s expressed anxiety in the past about me leaving her because she’s worried I’d rather be with a man (I wouldn’t, this girl is the love of my life). And I guess it also makes me a little upset because she seems to want me to “act straight” when being pan is a part of who I am.
I guess what I’m asking is: is it okay to use traditionally “gay” terms like twink, bear, etc. when referring to yourself if you’re bi/pan but in a straight relationship? Sorry if these aren’t the right terms, I can’t think of any better way to describe it.
Also any advice generally would be appreciated. I wanna know how to explain to her that it feels like she’s asking me to get rid of my pansexuality.
Hello I'm a 40 year black male looking for other pan people to build community I like hiking and anything out.
So- I like venture from Overwatch and they are non binary. How I was told about the differences between bi (which I dentify with) and Pan is that Bi people only date people in the gender binary which can include trans people up to the person while Pan sexual people will date anyone regardless of gender identity. I never really considered myself pan until I stated to hyper fixate on venture (I’m also autistic) and thus leading me to their voice actor who is also nonbinary. And omfg I never found a non binary person so attractive. I think they are legit the first non binary person I have found so god damn attractive. Valeria Rodríguez is like..HOT DAMN. I think I’m pan which like damn I just became my mothers disappointment 2 Jesus in really can never date out of a man now can I. If I showed my mom if me and my boyfriend break up that I was dating a woman she would be mad and probably disown me. But if I showed my mom a sexy androgynous they them? I think she would beat me Jesus Christ.
