Are the two concepts the same?

No matter what, many of us will agree that both the words entail sexual orientation. And it’s pretty clear that both the terms are very distinct from one another. Yes, bisexual vs. pansexual are two separate ordeals.  Moreover, there’s definitely a reason why they’re classified as two instead of one. But what do they mean and how can we differentiate them.

The hidden mystery behind bisexuality

Bisexuality- the act of attraction towards both genders. While this is partly correct, it’s not the whole truth.

This has to do with the fact that gender isn’t always a binary subject. Furthermore, it means people don’t always fall into groups of males and females. And that’s where we come to non-binary. This refers to those individuals that don’t fall into men or women.

Overall, these people are usually attracted to two or more different types of genders or simply multiple genders. You might come across some bisexuals who are attracted to men and women and not to any others. Remember, all situations vary from case to case. But that’s just the start of the bisexual vs. pansexual mystery.

Pansexual- What does it really mean?

Now, let’s move on to pansexual and what it really means. It’s so much simpler if you break up the term for your easier understanding.

Pan stands for ‘all.’ Likewise, these people are attracted to all types of genders. And that means it also includes attraction towards people who are genderless or don’t have a gender.

They are described as those who get attracted to others. And sometimes, it’s without any gender involvement. And that means personality has a major role to play in their attraction.

Pansexual people don’t show attraction towards anyone and everyone. For instance, heterosexual men do not find all women attractive, and so on and so forth.

Bisexual vs. Pansexual- No, we didn’t repeat the same thing twice

Whenever you see the prefix bi- it means ‘multiple’. Similarly, whenever you see the prefix pan- it means ‘all.’

Let’s evaluate things the simple way by using the color phenomenon. You ask your buddies what their favorite colors are. One friend says that they like all types of colors. On the other hand, other states that they like more than one color.

For the first friend, all doesn’t literally mean every single hue because they might not like beige and brown.  See, all colors refer to more than one. Likewise, more than one color doesn’t mean all.

And that’s exactly why many people believe that pan falls into the bicategory. And they simply take bi as a large category that relates to more than one. However, remember that this isn’t true. And that’s because all can never be the same as multiple.
