Before the ‘Bi-bomb’ post, I feel I should do some clearing up.<\/span>
Tidy blog, tidy mind, tidy readers.<\/span>

<\/span>What is a bisexual? <\/span>Do they fancy everyone in the world ever?<\/span><\/span>
What is a pansexual? <\/span>Should I hide my crockery from them?<\/span><\/span>
How long can one girl make puns based around her sexuality?<\/span>
This, and so much more, coming right up…<\/span>

<\/span>Because everyone loves a cheeky definition before I ramble like a llama on speed.<\/span>
Bisexuality<\/span>
Bisexuality I take as attraction (either romantic or sexual) to males and females.
This can be 50:50, 60:40, or 90:10.<\/span>
Note: not attracted to EVERY male and female. Don’t flatter yourself.<\/span>
If you’re a Kinsey scale fan, you’re basically anywhere on the continuum that isn’t entirely homosexual or entirely heterosexual.<\/span>
BUT it’s worth saying here not everyone likes labels\/some people define things differently to me\/not everyone feels like they should <\/i>be labelled. But I quite like it.<\/span>
Even though if these things were real labels I’d be a walking post-it note monster.<\/span>
*daydream*<\/span>

<\/span>Pansexuality<\/span>
Not an attraction to pans (soz\/stop worrying about the safety of your kitchen around me. Potential fire risk, but not sexual predator).<\/span>
Don’t get me wrong, I am fond of my wok but I don’t want to marry\/have some form of ‘relations’ with it.<\/span>
The way I define pansexuality is much like the way Wiki does (ahh Wiki, you are so good to me).<\/span>
I am attracted to\/desire\/romantically love people of whatever gender or biological sex.<\/span>
To be quite honest, I don’t really notice what gender someone is when I become attracted to them…it’s more like: <\/span>
“That is a very attractive person, I must get to know them (in the least stalkery manner). Oh, it’s a girl\/boy\/*insert gender identity here*”<\/span>
Then as I am clumsy and mildly socially ridiculous, I’ll probably fall over in front of them and swear loudly.<\/span>

<\/span>Romantic and\/or Sexual?<\/span>
This one is a bit of a ‘sticking my neck out’ situation, because I genuinely don’t know how anyone else views this\/if other bi\/pan individuals have the same type of thing, but it’s worth mentioning for the understanding of this type of stuff. <\/span>
(Also, if anyone has similar views to me\/completely thinks I’m wrong and alone here, let me know in comments :P)<\/span>
Prepare yourself for some of my brain.<\/span>

<\/span>The story so far is that I consider myself as bi\/pansexual (most of what label I use depends on how savvy someone is on definitions\/how flustered I am when I do the big reveal <\/span>(oo-er)<\/span>).<\/span><\/span>

<\/span>I become attracted to people of all genders, without really paying any attention to what gender they are, but I find that when I end up attracted to a male, it is more often romantically than sexually.<\/span>

<\/span>(Note: when I say romantic attraction rather than sexual, I mean my brain does the following:<\/span>
“Yes you’re very pretty, yes you give me butterflies, yes you make me blush and act more of a tool, I reallyreally like you and want a relationship with you and kisses and cuddles. But I’m not that arsed about the sex.”)<\/span>

<\/span>I get sexually attracted to males too, and even if I didn’t this would not make me want to label myself as a lesbian woman, because I still have feelings for males\/people of any other gender.<\/span><\/span>

<\/span>So yeah…hope that cleared some definitions up…
Any thoughts?<\/span><\/span>
Much love and cheesyness,<\/span>
