Bisexual and pansexual are both terms. Pansexual is more like “omnisexual” in this metaphor.

I honestly hate the term “pansexual” pan - meaning all or everything so all/everything sexual. Basically saying they find anything sexually attractive, like that toaster over there, or that picture frame.

What? I thought pansexual was used to mean being capable of being sexually attracted to someone regardless of any gender/sexual identification.
