Thats the only way this is making any sense to me tbh.
Bisexuals are 'sexually attracted' to either sex.
Pansexuals are 'attracted' to either sex
If this is not what you mean, then I have no idea why you keep bringing up the difference between attraction and sexual attraction.
If this is what you mean, then surely 'pansexual' is the same as 'asexual'?! As no sexual attraction is felt?

Not really the line I was on
Asexuals - zero sexual attraction at all times, but can feel attraction, so will date those they become attracted to
Pansexuals - can feel attraction, which can develop into sexual attraction, but only ever in that order
Bisexuals (and heterosexuals and homosexuals) - can feel sexual attraction before any other form of attraction, that doesnt mean they are incapable of other types of attraction, and doesnt mean they act on their sexual attraction before other forms of attraction even if it does come first. But sexual attraction to people for the way they look is somethig that pans wont experience ever.
Im trying to remember my summary a while back cos i cba to multiquote
Sexual attraction to gender A=no, P=no, B=yes
Sexual attraction to personality A=no, P=yes, B=yes
Attraction to people A=yes*, P=yes, B=yes
*there are some aromantic asexuals, but for the purposes of trying to make this clearer...!
