Ahhh, so pansexual means that you like half man, half goat people who play the flute? Or is it that you get an erection at the thought of buying new kitchen ware?
Actually it originally refers to having two sexes. Aka hermaphroditic.
I really hate how the word “sexual” has evolved in meaning into “relating to the activity that evolved to happen between the two main sexes”. We have the perfectly good Greek root “ero” and for some reason we have gradually muddled up the meaning of “sexual”.
Doesn’t the name imply only two?
A master, and an apprentice.
Bisithual
No it implies once every other week
Wait
Well then what’s semisexual?? I’ll never get this figured out

I’ve got a hot little Le Crouset simmering in the kitchen 🤤
Shit, that’s the rough life. I’ll take the twice a week definition instead please, Trebek.
Sure but it can be interpreted as “people who share my gender” and “people who do not share my gender.”
This is off-topic, but… For some reason, that reminded me of a funny exchange I had with someone who was buying a lottery ticket, years ago…
Me: “What are the chances that you’ll win?”
Him, with a heavy southern (US) accent: “50/50. You either win or you don’t.”
That’s because it’s an extremely old term; it merely refers to someone who is attracted to more than one gender.
Ok but did we really need yet another term that is difficult to distinguish from pre-existing terms?
When you have to write an essay to describe it, that should be a clue.
Bisexual is the original term.
A clue to what? That some concepts take more than one second to explain?

It does, but definitions often diverge from the original over time
