Pansexual

Pan is half goat. Do you really want to have sex with him.:D ;)

Eh what do I know. Its all Greek to me.
 
A literal dictionary definition of bisexuality, due to the prefix bi-, is sexual or romantic attraction to two sexes (males and females), or to two genders (men and women).[10] Pansexuality, however, composed with the prefix pan-, is the sexual attraction to people of all sexes or genders. Using these definitions, pansexuality is different in that it includes people who are intersex and/or fall outside the gender binary.[3][8] Go Ask Alice! states that pansexuals can be attracted to cismen, ciswomen (meaning cisgender), "transmen, transwomen, intersex people, androgynous people, and everything else. It is generally considered a more inclusive term than bisexual".[8] Volume 2 of Cavendish's Sex and Society, however, clarifies that "[a]lthough the term's literal meaning can be interpreted as 'attracted to everything,' people who identify as pansexual do not include paraphilias, such as bestiality, pedophilia, and necrophilia, in their definition" and that they "stress that the term pansexuality describes only consensual adult sexual behaviors".[

I think pan is too broad of a prefix. There should be tri-, quadri-, and dodecasexual. Needs to be specific. What if you're interested in trans women, trans men, and cis women, but not cis men or genderqueers? You're not pan in that case, you're trisexual. This stuff can get confusing really fast.

I will state, however, that paraphilias DO come into play when defining one's sexual identity. For instance, podophiles (the most common paraphiliacs) won't discriminate against a foot if it matches their criteria for a sexually appealing foot. Therefore, if the foot is attached to a transgender woman (meaning a genetic male who identifies and lives as a female - not to be confused with a transexual female who has undergone surgery to augment their features), they'll still be attracted to that foot and become sexually aroused.

Anyway, gender identity (not to be confused with genetic genders) is a social construct. It's becoming very quickly outdated, too.

lol sexology
