Where are such options like intersexual, pansexual, etc.?

Oh well, I suppose I should include intersexual as not everyone is born male or female, but pansexual - I hate this term. I would date a pre-op transsexual man or woman. Does this mean I am not bisexual?

HEY!!!

I'm a flaming pansexual! LOL

I saw a flaming pan once on a stove top.

   I am bisexual.
   I'm not really very open about it because my sexual identity is not as important as my gender identity.  I am also a very inexperienced person for someone my age, so I don't have a history of cool experiences that I can riff off of for the enjoyment of others.  In fact, sometimes I wish I were more experienced and other times I wish I was pure and true like the finest virgin olive oil.
   I am attracted to both men and women but can only imagine spending my life with a woman.

Bisexuality refers to two (bi) sexes (sexuality)- "male and female" right?
But!...what if you like more than just male and female like say {male, female, intersex, people with Turner syndrome , people with klinefelter syndrome, other biologically sexed people (through sex-chromosome anomalies), etc.}
     Gender seems to be included in determining the difference between pansexual and bisexual, but I take that you disagree with using gender preference to determine sexuality?  So I'll avoid that for now.
  Also by using the prefix bi is fundamentally too limiting on what sexes one would date for some people (not only pansexuals too).  The world is bigger than most people see in a lifetime.

Nero,

Please change 'bisexual' to 'omnisexual'.  Considering what I just did with a potato, we may need to expand upon that too.

I am omisexual.

1. what DID you do with that potato? ... nevermind.. i don't wanna know...

2. What if i'm in love with myself. I'm turning out to be the kind of girl i wish i could of dated.... does that make me narcsexual?

Autosexuality is to be attracted sexually to one's self.

I paid it to spend some time with me.  I was lonely, so very very lonely.    What? don't tell me none of you never paid a vegetable to keep you company?

I honestly thought it meant being attracted to your car.   

AUTOSEXUAL
sexual orientation toward oneself; that is, preferring self-gratification over other forms of sexual activity. Often occurs as a result of numerous failed attempts at interpersonal relationships, leading the individual to make a conscious choice to become autosexual rather than face disappointment and frustration yet again.

Numerous advantages to autosexuality include:

- no risk of pregnancy
- no risk of STD's being transmitted
- able to 'get lucky' every time at the bar or club
- the sex is always good
- no relationship issues like jealousy or cheating partner

... need I say more?

OMG.. this is sooooo me.
I can't stand other people anymore.
I hate to imagine a cauliflower like growth emanating from my groinal region
I suck at dating
I love sex too much while sucking at dating too much
I am wary of being cheated on

about the veggie thing... I've never had sexual relations with said object.

Once i get real breasts, i'll probably never leave the house.

When one goes deep into defining sexuality, don't you think labeled boxes are inadequate.  Box-terms like heterosexually, homosexuality, and others seem to be the creation by humans to attempt to understand themselves that failed.  Gender, sexuality, and other parts of life are not black or white; there is a whole spectrum of colors. 
       Are all males 100% male minded?
       Are all heterosexuals never attracted to the same sex?
       Are all androgynes 50% male, 50% female minded?
People just create more and more boxes to try to capture all humanity. And sometimes people create fluid boxes in case of anomalies in people's personal definitions, like slap on a bisexual label if someone likes male 83% and females 17% of the time.
   One of my history teachers told my class about a person who researched about whether heterosexuals were truly attracted to the opposite sex only and if homosexuals were truly attracted to the same sex only.  My teacher said that the researcher found this not to be true and that people varied everywhere on a homosex-hetrosex scale, and yet heterosexuality is accepted as the norm, homosexual as a rare variant, and bisexuality as a even rarer variant --despite the fact that people that are not on the ends of the scale would be labeled as bisexual (for liking both sexes)
      I think that using options like "bisexual", "attracted to men", and "attracted to women" are archaic options that are convenient but inadequate means to find out "What is your sexual orientation?". The options are too limited for everyone to vote.  Truly finding one's true sexuality and not just a modern label used by the majority of this human society is not easy I admit
   (for many reasons like religious believes, stereotyping, poor child rising, etc.)
,but if you're going to preform a poll of finite options-at least provide more options and/or "other" option to allow everyone to let you and others know their sexual orientation.
     Sorry to be such a pain in your backside Nero. Though I wanted to say this because I never saw a site with a database that acknowledges my sexuality and others besides hetrosex, homosex, and bisex, (even on this site about transgender).

Roflol, how about scratching the poll and just rephrasing it into a question:

"Androgynes, what is your sexual orientation? Please note your birth-sex and elaborate."




Update Though it's actually really quite logical *sips coffee*: it's called Sexual, not Genderual. Thus, it really comes down to: Attracted to females / Attracted to males / Attracted to IS / Attracted to females&males / Attracted to all / Attracted to neither.

No offense, but in this order I'm not counting autosexuality since we all have a sex of our own as well, and I think what Nero's trying to determine is an overview of what sex we are attracted to: not gender, but sex. So to simplify: who would you shag (since sexuality also works with one-night-stands ya know?)

Update #2 Along the above philosophy I voted Female bodied and Asexual since a shag in a chevy with whatever sex is hardly a bloody fanfare for me.

I chose "I am male bodied and attracted to women."

I'm not exactly male bodied anymore and definitely won't be by the time I finish fixing myself but I prefer to leave the term IS to those who were born anatomically non-binary (not those who fix themselves that way).   I am predominantly attracted to women, androgynes can be fine too and on rare occasions so can guys.  I guess I could have labeled myself bisexual but I prefer to define myself by the rule not by the exception.

      I did not have sexual relations with that potato.  All I did was buy it dinner and suckle on it for a bit.  I understand that society looks down upon potato lovers, however, we are people too - even if the potato isn't.

      Candi,

      Once you get real breasts, I'll probably never leave your house either.   

      (I hope you know I'm kidding with you) 

YES, anytime (my sexual orientation)

Seriously, given the above options I'd say bi, however since there are more than two genders, it might need to be tri-sexual (I'll try anything), or pan-sexual (hmmmm, I don't know about doing it in a cast iron skillet) or omni-sexual (well, maybe not potatoes...)  >

Pesky bunch, aren't we Nero?

Zythyra

'Asexual' probably fits me better than any of the options, but I consider my sexuality to be non-oriented. When it comes to looking, females are usually more attractive to me than males, but not always. When it comes to actually feeling "I would like to have sex with that person" desire (rather than the aesthetic "That person is pretty to look at and warms my guts and crotch in a sexy kinda way" desire) it's some aspect of the person that isn't directly connected to the person's sex.

All we really want to know is - Was a cigar involved?

Pansexuality is the sexual preference of those who are attracted to others for reasons that don't involve one's sex.

Sometimes I try to have oral with a potato-french fry, but I always get too aggressive and chew the french fries to potato dust.  

I am a biologically male. I love women. But I get the feeling that my attraction to women is different to your stereotypical males attraction (which makes sense because gender wise I am not male). I really like lesbian woman for some reason, the shaved heads, the masculine shirts...I know they arn't all like that but there sure is something about them. I guess this is just a preference but I'm sure it is related to my gender.
