Guys what's the difference between bisexual and pansexual?

I mean I know bisexuals like dudes and chicks only and pansexuals can **** any human.

But where does a bisexual draw the line? I mean you got a feminine female, then a masculine female (tomboy I suppose), you got your reverse traps and cuntboys, and then you also got your trannies and other odd things. Where does a bi person draw the line? Are bisexuals only into mainly feminine females and masculine males? Do they not like it when you place sex with the opposite gender? Do bisexuals have a spectrum between straight, gay, and pan? Like some bisexuals can like women more right? or men more right? Then there must be bisexuals who like it when gender/sex mix up more than others, and the ones that do are more 'pansexual' than the others right? Or is it the moment you like tomboy chicks mean you're a light pansexual instead of a bisexual?

I mean pansexuals can't be into EVERYONE right? I mean there's such thing as being ugly.

Seriously man I keep getting corrected in the difference, and google doesn't help because I'm basically asking where's the borderline between bi and pan. I don't even go to tumblr except for porn.

Pansexuals are attracted to ladyboys and boyladies(people going out of their way to be something that they're not either by surgery or crossdressing and identifying as the wrong gender)---like Futas and men and women. Bisexuals are only attracted to men and women regardless of femininity or masculinity---no futas or guys with vaginas(traps [crossdressers] are still fair game for the bisexual ONLY IF the said trap considers his/herself the correct gender that he/she was born with. Like how dragqueens dress in men's clothing after crossdressing or a dragking would do the same. For traps, the crossdressing activity is just a facade and does not necessarily mean that the crossdresser is actively trying to be the opposite gender---they just like to play the role for lengths of time). There is a show called "Transparent" about a guy wanting to become a woman, but he just crossdresses because he hasn't gotten the gender-changing surgery. A bisexual would not be attracted to "her" because that guy is the wrong gender. Similar to how a gay man would find him unattractive because he's actively trying to become a woman which the gay man is not attracted to.
Personally, I hate telling people that I'm bisexual because it's hard to explain clearly.
tl;dr

So, if I see a 10/10 girl and ask her for her number, but her name is "Ron", she immediately becomes a 0/10 for me because she's a "guy". But, if she says that her name is "Ronnie, but Ron only on the weekends", then she remains a 10/10 because she's still a woman; she just engages in trap behavior which doesn't take away from her "femaleness". A pansexual would find that woman a 10/10 regardless of what her name is, even if it was Ron instead of Ronnie.

Pansexual by default of the term means everything, they can be attracted to anything or everything. By case wise it's multable fetishs one has. I think I'm Pansexual b/c I have multable things I'm into though not all at once as I end up changing what I'm attracted to the most every day pretty much mostly based on what porn I have seen as late. And I have way to many waifus b/c of it

i always thought that bi sexual was a capability to have a physical relationship with either gender, but pansexual was someone who can have an emotional relationship with either gender
User avatar #412 to #103 - nustix (10 hours ago) [-]
Pansexuality is about romantic interest and not sexual attraction. Personally I find it very silly that there are not distinctions made here. A pansexual won't care about appereance and will look for an emotional connection when picking a partner. Where as a lot of people take into account their sexual attraction to their partner first. You won't hear a pansexual make the comment "God look at those abs" when checking out a potentional mate, where as someone bisexual is attracted to features of both sexes. This doesn't mean that pansexuals don't have a sexual preference, they just don't take it into account when picking a partner. Personally I consider myself straight and feel attracted to girls mostly, but if the girl I love turns out to be a transexual I won't give a **** . Does this make me bisexual? Not really I still feel sexually attracted to girls, yet I'm dating a guy. So it make me more of a pansexual.

say..you have a wife..and you love her more then anyone in the world, you love her so much, she is the only one for you, you don't even look at other girls anymore.

At that point you are no longer attracted to women, you are atrackted to 1 single person.

If you think about some hypothethical situation..like..if you could never have sex with her would you still love her?
or..if she suddenly turned out to be a guy.. wouldyou still love her?
If the answer is yes, then you are not attracted to a gender, but to a person.
even if you aren't sexually attracted to her, you still love her..it's just a matter of seeing those things as seperate concepts

pansexuals are generally attracted to someone for their personality, and are just cool with whatever you got in your pants
User avatar #396 to #395 - sugoi (11 hours ago) [-]
Unless you're implying that bisexuals don't give two ***** about personality, they're both exactly the same.

pansexuality is a form of bisexuality in and of itself, its similar but encompasess more than just the two genders, and many times without a preference

as a bisexual male myself i have this to say: pansexualism came along because every 12 year old started being "bisexual" and being bi wasnt edgy enough anymore.

If I remember correctly, pansexuals are physically attracted to things based on own feelings rather than physical attributes.


Bi are attracted to either gender, pan people aren't attracted to gender features, but rather regardless of gender.

User avatar #356 to #103 - Nihatclodra ONLINE (13 hours ago) [-]
I legitimately am pansexual (or, at least, pansexual as I understand it), so here's my expanation:

Pansexuality is where you can POTENTIALLY feel attraction to anyone, or anything; regardless of gender, age, race, species, being alive or dead, being an unthinking object, or even actually existing altogether. Pansexuals can (though that doesn't guarantee they will) feel sexual attraction to literally anything, so they base any relationships off of personality above all else. I, personally, have gotten sexually aroused from a damned brick wall before... I don't even know how that happened; i was calling the wall sexy every time I saw it as a joke and then at some point it was actually sexy...?

TL;DR: Pansexuals are Bisexuals who happen to have far too ******* many fetishes, which eventually renders sexual arousal meaningless to them because said arousal can pretty much happen at will by that point.

Bisexual means you're into men and women. Pansexual means you're into trannies and stuff too.
User avatar #330 to #103 - trollmobile ONLINE (14 hours ago) [-]
pansexuals can also be attracted to inanimate objects, and animals.

pansexual is basically "if i like something, i can **** it"
good rule of thumb is "a pansexual can be attracted to a pan"
User avatar #329 to #103 - sketchysketchist (14 hours ago) [-]
Pansexual is a special snowflake term that originally meant they'll **** anything, but they made it about loving people who who they are and not their looks or gender. In other words, they're bisexual, but aren't superficial and everyone needs to know they're not superficial because they're Vagan Crossfitting Vapers.

Bisexual is a term to describe people who like either sexes, male or female. Not sure how they feel about transgendered people, but I'm pretty sure most of DTF if that's their fetish, the same way straight people can be cool with trannies. (Dudes who became chicks with fuctioning vags, not chicks with dicks in this case. That's another fetish altogether. )

That word man, fetish. Pretty much answered my borderline question.
#326 to #103 - anon (15 hours ago) [-]
What you asked about the spectrum for bisexuals is this, even if they like a feminine guy or a masculine woman it doesn't make them more "more pansexual." If they have girl parts and identify as a girl regardless of what they look like they're still considered girls. Like butch lesbians. Still women but society might consider them to be more masculine in appearance due to short hair or clothing choices. However, there are obviously bisexuals who are into women more or men more, and thats fine to have a preference and still falls under the category of bisexual. Additionally there are bisexuals who might have interest in people who identify as neither sex or both or are androgynous in their identity and sometimes their parts (like they don't have tits but they have a vagina) but are not trans, but if im not mistaken I believe those people might just call themselves sexually fluid, or insist that it doesn't matter what label they use because if you were trying to get to know them and asked they shouldn't have a problem explaining it. And if they do and you haven't maybe asked too soon (upon encounter) then they can **** themselves and clearly need to calm down.

Bi-sexual here to explain what I know. Okay, generally bisexuals are into females and males only, and it doesn't matter if the girl is boyish or a tom boy, she identifies as a girl and has all the equipment that goes with that. Same even if they're with feminine boys.
Pansexuals are different because pansexuality has more to do with being attracted mostly to someone's personality, like their attractiveness is definitely second on the list of importance. Additionally because of the focus on personality, they usually have no problem being attracted to trans people or androgynous people or any other kind of people. Not to say that they can't experience attraction because everyone is different so maybe they also find androgynous people really hot. So their deal is they're down with everyone that they're attracted to regardless of gender identity because it's not really important to attractiveness to them.

**moroboss used "*roll picture*"**
**moroboss rolled image** As much as i see people saying pan= attracted to anyone/thing to my knowledge it was more that pan is attracted to a personality or a person rather than a gender
e.g. not " i'm attracted to blond women" but rather
"i'm attracted to (enter personality type) people"
or "i'm attracted to people i have things in common with"
or some **** i dunno
User avatar #315 to #103 - dongers (15 hours ago) [-]
I see it as bisexuals will have sex with either guys or girls. Pansexuals can reach in someone's pants and be happy with whatever they find.
So bisexuals can have a preference, pansexuals just like sex.
User avatar #313 to #103 - bigbadpapaboris (15 hours ago) [-]
If you like more specific terms for tomboys and cuntboys you can use androgionus which describe a human being with mixed gender feature (It was defined by Plato trought one of his stories, here you can find more -> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgyny )

Yhea anyway I would say that I'm some kind of pansexual since I think that I can be romantically attracted by everyone (humans), yet I'm more into females or androginous females/males, so I think pansexuality referred to sexual arousement should be use only if you really would like to **** anyone, anything else you can refer to it as tastes.
User avatar #309 to #103 - undeaddog ONLINE (15 hours ago) [-]
TBH I've always seen pansexual as a special snowflake version of bisexual
#297 to #103 - hikakiller (16 hours ago) [-]
It's not hard. Bisexual is male or female, if you're attracted to them. If you're attracted to a girl that looks a little guyish, you wouldn't force yourself not to be attracted, and it doesn't make you gay. Most bisexuals I know have a preference, men or women.

Pansexuals can just be attracted to anyone, regardless of whether they're straight, bi, gay, transsexual, etc.
Source: I dated a few pansexual girls, so i guess that counts?
#298 to #297 - hikakiller (16 hours ago) [-]
In addition, I'd like to state that pansexual doesn't mean they find everyone attractive. That's crazy. But, they are capable of finding everyone attractive.
#296 to #103 - anon (16 hours ago) [-]
I think the distinction is stupid. Transgender is such a catch all word, then bisexual can include people who are romantically attracted to other people in ways than their sex.

Pansexuell don“t care and would in theory like to try anything out.

Bi-sexuel People feel attracted to both male and female sex.
User avatar #256 to #103 - Nullifier (17 hours ago) [-]
pansexuals are POTENTIALLY attracted to everyone. someone who's straight won't ever be attracted to anyone if they have the wrong sexual features, ja feel? Bisexuality is along the same lines...I'm bi and I couldn't tell you for sure, I don't know anyone who says they're pansexual.
#249 to #103 - Kingsly (17 hours ago) [-]
From my understanding, bisexuals are [generally] into men and women, trans individuals included. Pansexuals are also this, but need the modifier to feel special.
Tumblr has fights between pan saying bi are trans exclusionary because they don't fit the standard male/female dichotomy, and bi saying pan is exclusionary because they don't count trans people as their preferred gender.
Personally I call myself bi and am generally interested in men, women, and traps. Cboys aren't really what I'm looking for. There's also a much deeper thing here of what specifically defines a trap vs trans etc. but I won't go into that here unless someone wishes to read it.

I always though of pansexual as more of a 'If I want to have sex with it I will,' not as a 'I will **** everything.'

Well Freud Said that a Pansexual was some one attracted not to everyone, but to everyTHING. According ta him Pansexuals are attracted to everything from the queen of england to a tree covered in moss. Apparantly Freud came up with the term pansexuals so i'd guess he'd know

So thats the difference. Way ta go Freud, you mad mad lunatic
#213 to #148 - dislikinator (18 hours ago) [-]
It doesn't even have to stop with objects.
A problematic one, for example, is people who are sexually attracted to violence.

I see pansexuality as some sort of 'hyper-fetishism'. It's a fetish to the point where the human is no longer required in the fetish to fully turn you on. For instance, someone can have a mermaid fetish, but if that mermaid can be 100% fish and that person just desires to **** a large tuna, it's pansexuality.
Correct me if I'm wrong on this one.

Pansexuals do not have their personal attraction limited by any category. They can potentially find transgendered or cisgendered people attractive of either sex.
Bisexuals do not find transgendered people sexually attractive, but can still be attracted to either sex as long as that's the gender they identify as.

I'm into everyone but I call myself bisexual because if I say I'm pansexual people think I **** pans and pots.
#120 to #113 - anon (20 hours ago) [-]
While I get you are trying to be informative, please don't use the term cisgendered like it is an actual thing.

It doesn't ****** exist, and it gives the idea that being trans is just as regular as being "cis". "Cis" in fact stands for "normal", as in for "almost everyone feels like the sex he or she born as, being trans is not the norm".

The rest of the comment may be right, I'm neither of those, thanks for your input.
User avatar #126 to #120 - subtard (20 hours ago) [-]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender

Idk why you're so upset that a technical term exists beyond "normal", but just so you know it is a real thing and not just invented by modern progressives, even if it is the only option that isn't technically a mental illness.
#181 to #126 - anon (19 hours ago) [-]
Because people often form their definitions of words by context rather than vocabulary.

"Cisgendered" and "Cissexual" and whatever wikipedia refers to them as is a certain way your body's functions don't deviate from that of a healthy human being. Refer to >>#171

Constantly using the word in the manner it's used right now makes it sound as something negative. I have yet to find the word "Cis" used outside of context of Star Wars, and hate towards the healthy standard (see Cis Scum). The word can exist, but the way it spreads is toxic at it's current state.

#208 to #181 - subtard (18 hours ago) [-]
Cis isn't a prefix for normal. It's a prefix for meaning "same" or "same side". It's actually a chemistry prefix for pointing out if two ligands are on the same side of a molecule or across (trans) from each other.
So the etymology of cisgender comes form the fact that your mental gender and physical sex are the same, not that they're normal or healthy.

As for using cisgendered as an insult, I don't think it really happens outside of small corners of the internet filled with 15 year old girls. I'm sure they'll realize they're wrong once they grow out of the phase that they're in. We all said stupid stuff when we were young.
