(based on sexual attraction anyway, im sure it still happens out of loneliness, intimacy, boredom, drunkeness etc).

I was going to say most times One Night Stands happen because you're drunk lbh

I'm not really into one night stands, but I feel sexual attraction toward both genders.

Seriously, I think that ^THIS so accurately and succinctly sums up this issue. No more to be said, really.

In my opinion.

I'm becoming very -phobic to the constant tossing of phobias on message boards... because this commentary doesn't occur to most folk in real life unless they're a committed member of those subculture(s)... Anyway, I remember when homophobia used to basically mean you were afraid of being gay or being considered gay and the LGBT used to not be so authoritative... now it's just a PC way of calling everyone a jerk for not sharing the same belief system. A complete contrast to the sense of compassionate acceptance and broader sense of respect we grew up on within that movement. The new(er) rhetoric is a complete bait & switch...

Anyway, as I will repeat again... pan- means "all"... where in the word structure does it say pan = personality? I'm telling you... there's been a bait & switch... if there's some reasoning to that, then I will retract.

But as it stands, it appears this word doesn't mean anything really, unless you go along with the word-form... maybe it means those folk are attracted to everything (including animals, inanimate objects, etc)... because that's the only way -pan/"all" works and is a definition I've heard... maybe that didn't catch on the way they'd hoped and so somebody took pansexual and gave it a more creative definition..., "oh, I'm going to give myself a unique identifier to make myself sound more inclusive and gender-blind"... Dezzy is right.

I genuinely am not understanding the differences, rather than ignoring them. Even moreso when you add in previous comments such as they would usually not have a one night stand, unless alcohol, loneliness, etc were involved. thats true of most people in general.

I'm very make-up-a-word-phobic, for lack of a better word (pun unintended), I think... because I rely too much on an actual dictionary (it's like my bible) and am not open to butchering/modifying our nation's official language... so by being so strict and sticking so close to traditional English... I am actually alienating foreigners from our general culture because I am not open to allowing just any random folk to adequately "express themselves" and choose how they "identify" with the way English word-forms are crafted and what grammar is appropriate...

...would be where this conversation would go if we were to follow the typical social justice thought-stream and its canon.

When we signed up for Nielsen (that big company that tracks TV ratings and demographics with home metering) and they took down our individual demographics... they asked me what job I identified myself as having. FYI if you happen to read those stats...
