Pansexuality - We are all slightly bent and straight...

Pan sexuality can be defined (merci a Wikipedia)


Quote:


Pan sexuality (also referred to as omnisexuality or polysexuality) [1] refers to the potential for sexual attractions, sexual desire romantic love, or emotional attraction, towards people of all gender identities and biological sexes.
People I believe have the ability to fall in love with anyone. This is not some lecture on the merits of hippy style free love but on the ability everyone I think has to fall in love with certain people. Heterosexuality and homosexuality only describe your sexual attraction predominantly to a person but pansexual takes into your account to fall for someone (and I’m not talking about falling head over heels in love with someone). Alfred Kinsey the famous biologist (there is a great film made of his life with Liam Neeson) described it on the Kinsey scale with 0 being completely hetro and 10 being completely homosexual. There are flaws in his work as the sample sized used was very small but he found a proportion fell nowhere near the complete end of either scale. Based on this it could be easily believed that we are all veering towards one gender or another or possibly be bisexual but these are just labels.




I believe the love as described by the Greeks can explain it fairly well. The four different types described as

Agape - sacraficial love, I think in this modern context this is more or less tough love.



Eros-someone you want to spend you life with, may not be or may be sexual in nature.



Philia-love for a friend eg loyality, comradery



Storge-affection for a son or daugther from a parent




People can be pansexual from their admiration for a particular sports star (Kevin Doyle is a great player, look at his athleticism) to sexual attraction to someone but what predominates in pan sexuality is that there is not necessarily a sexual attraction but an emotional attraction, you feel as if a person has been a part of your life for a long time, what would you do without them? This could go a long way towards explaining platonic friendships that become very deep friendships (non sexual but deep in an emotional way)
