But arousal at both genitals is different to arousal at a certain personality. I think you too have focussed on the similarities, and missed the differences.

Plenty of people are "aroused" by a personality. Ever heard the phrase "laughing her into bed" ?

The differences are too insignificant to count toward anything, someone of any sexuality can only feel attraction towards certain personalities.

Shall we invent a new sexuality label for straight people who are only attracted to people whose personality they gel with? Or a new sexuality label for women who only date funny guys? No, because there's no need. Just like there's no need for the label "Pansexual" !

Oh I know. Personsexual. And anyone who who doesn't agree with that stupid label can have a personaphobia label thrown at them. That's how it is in this day and age. Talk about gone too flaming far.

Does this not seem like roundabouts. Youre missing the part where pansexuals do not care for gender. it isnt the same no matter how much you want it to be.

Unless youre claiming anybody who ever would sleep with both sexes is bi, I don’t see your point.

Ain't that the definition of bisexuality right down to the T?

Nor do bisexuals, as they like both.

Bisexuals choose which gender to look for pansexuality you allow the gender to find you

They are sexually attracted to both genders.

Pan people do not care for your gender.

So sexuality is a choice, is it? Bisexuals get to "choose" who they're attracted to? Gotcha.

So how is that different to being attracted to both genders? Someone who's bi wouldn't care which gender they date.

Bisexuals decide whether to look for a man or a woman

A bi person would consider dating a man because they are sexually attracted to men and a bi person would consider dating a woman because they are sexually attracted to women. A pan person would consider dating both, but not because of sexual attraction to gender.
