Things you may not know about me #3
Sep. 16th, 2024 06:01 amMy sexuality. I believe I am pansexual. All my life I have been attracted to whoever I am attracted with (a saying I've found online "If we vibe, we vibe" basically). For years I've been sort of confused about if I was considered Bisexual or Pansexual. But I think Pansexual relates to how I feel more. It can be as simple as the way someone may talk to how they dress, their sense of style... or even just who they are as a person. I've found myself liking similar people and then at other times totally opposite people.
I have had little to no experience with others besides males. Mostly due to where I live. When I did online dating and tried dating women it was few and far between finding anyone that we clicked. I do find myself mostly attracted to males and I think that comes down to because that's what I've always known.
Currently I am in a healthy relationship so I don't think I will be looking or exploring this any further. But I felt this was an important topic to openly talk about. I recently read The handmaids tale and The testaments by Margret Atwood - where in those stories it is not acceptable to have such feelings. And I plan on writing my next comic fury review this week about a comic that deals with sexuality as somewhat a main theme. Also with the political world today as it is - gender and sexuality is a very touchy subject to some. I like to be cautious, but in these days even more now than others.
All my life I have been pretty private about my feelings and thoughts. Mostly due to a bad experience I had as a teen with a sibling asking about it in a somewhat aggressive way. I don't want to have to go through that again if I can help it. So I only find myself talking about my sexuality when around those who have open hearts. Don't feel bad about my past experiences, I think it was something that shaped me into who I am today.
I found this article talking about the differences between bisexual and pansexual to read before I wrote this. It was written last year, but may be helpful to some of you: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/bisexual-vs-pansexual#fa-qs
