What is pansexual? Layla Moran

I used to fancy Aladdin - the Disney version, then I moved on to the more mature Flynn Ryder from Tangled!

Ah, Callistemon, my GDS3 was fascinated by a photo of a little girl hugging an ancient oak and asked me why he (sic) was splatted up against that tree.

Later that day we found him hugging a drainpipe.

perhaps she announced it like that, so that we etc would discuss like this, and not notice that her latest squeeze was ex head of Lib Dem press / PR, and had to leave for having faked an email.
news management, eh.

This thread started at 10.00am this morning and it is already up to 4 pages. What is the fascination in the subject.

I do not give a toss what people are/think they are, or do, as long as they do not do it in the street and frighten the horses.

I had never heard of Layla Moran until this.

Do you think he's developing an attraction like yours?
I do hope so, Janipat!!

pansexual

The word pan as a prefix means universal, all-encompassing so presumably pansexual means being attracted to any sexual being, not necessarily just human beings.

It would exclude saucepans and trees.

Just read this in the news and I said to my husband 'what on earth does Pansexual mean?'. He said 'it means you like sex in the kitchen amongst the pans'. Ha ha. This post might get removed!!

I so understand your comments about the Faraway Tree callistamon, it was the most amazing tree in the world.
Petunia was obviously in tune too with her reference to saucepans.
I always thought that saucepan man was a little off the wall.

I'm going to echo Monica, and say, who cares! None of my business where anyone else's sexual orientation lies, I understand why she's declared she's in a relationship with a woman, so she isn't "outed" but I wish well known people would stop regaling us with the ins and outs of their personal lives, particularly when they have to put such obscure labels on it, what's wrong with bi-sexual.

loveOc your husband's comment, really funny

Callistamon, loved the Faraway Tree, so it seems Enid wasn't so regressive after all, ahead of her time I'd say, Saucepan man person being a trailblazer for pansexuals

Who makes these things up?
Is there a degree course in it?

love0c Was he hoping????

trisher, well if he is, he is going to be disappointed!!!

The sneering on this thread and lack of respect for the preferences of others is very unpleasant. LM is is a relationship with someone who, presumably, makes her happy. Why not just wish them well and let them get on with it ?

I believe in Scotland pansexual means being infatuated with a pan loaf.

Now, please bear with me here, but "pan" in the (I think) Greek sense, means "all", as in panorama, panacea etc . (I appreciate that I could be wrong with this)

So, logically, "pansexual" could be taken to mean having sexual inclinations to all, which would include all genders and all ages.

Perhaps not an appropriate term? Although it could be the devil's own job to come up with another more suitable one!

love0c howling! at your post LOL lol............

can't look my pans in the eye eve again...LOL lol

I am not sneering. It's a story given to the papers to distract from the fraud issues relating to laylas partner.

Phoenix precisely, also my query about whether or not the prefix pan encompasses all sexual beings.

Doodledog I care not that this woman is in a relationship, sexual or otherwise, with another woman; however, if the term pan includes under age children and other sentient sexual beings, then it is of concern.

And yes I am bearing in mind the friendly warning from GNHQ.

Petunia me and my husband had this discussion earlier today ?

Would anyone have been the slightest bit interested if she hadn't used this particular term to describe her sexual preferences? ( or no preferences, as the case may be).

The threat of a reporter making this public wouldn't have mattered as no-one has heard of her anyway, other than a probable minority of her constituents.
