Pansexuality includes all kinds of sexuality that can exist in a human being, tendencies that may prevail either permanently or occasionally.
THE THEORY OF PANSEXUALITY
By Peter Boom
Human beings, by nature must be, "pansexual" (from the Greek, Pan = all) a complete sexual person. We all possess various sexual possibilities
generally classified as heterosexual, homosexual, bi-sexual, autoerotic,
fetishist, sado-masochistic, etc. These tendencies in our nature can come
out at any time, according to the development of each individual. Children
are born polimorphoperverse; the curiosity of discovery leads them to play
with their mothers, touch their genitals, masturbate and investigate their
excretia. Later, as they develop, they play games of "doctor" as they
explore the bodies and functions of their friends. All this is perfectly
natural.
During puberty their ambivalence is natural and undeniable as they adapt to life as an adult. Only later does their sexual proclivity become more
crystallized and definite, although the range of options remain open. These
options are partially repressed or are made taboo, according to the society
in which they live.
There's a tribe in Borneo in which the women live with their children in a
huge hut, while men live apart from them. In Kenya there's a nomadic tribe of proud long-living people who have the custom of coupling boys of twelve
in a ritual of blood-mixing. These male couples remain faithful to each
other all their lives, wandering far off together, returning to the tribe
once or twice a year in order to procreate with the women. There are many examples, like the Siwans from Africa, the Sambia in New Guinea, where nearly all males engage in both hetero- and homo-sexual intercourse, but we can leave these to the anthropologists.
The term "pansexuality" exists already, but with a different meaning to that which I apply to it, indicating the concept to which sexual instinct is the basis of all human behaviour (Freud).
It is important not to repress any of our pansexuality and to live it
freely, using good sense. The repression and banning of natural instinct
creates frustration, often resulting in antisocial and violent behaviour.
Good sense is embodied in the expression: "Don't do unto others what you
would not have them do unto you!"

Someone who experiences sexual and/or romantic attraction to all gender identities and sexes. In other words, pansexual people see gender ID and sex as simply characteristics, rather than a defining factor in whether or not they are attracted to somebody.
Not to be confused with bisexuality (attraction to two gender identities/sexes) or polysexuality (attraction to some but not all genders/sexes).
Not to be confused with bisexuality (attraction to two gender identities/sexes) or polysexuality (attraction to some but not all genders/sexes).
Because Pamela could easily see herself being attracted to and having a long-term relationship with anybody, regardless of gender or sex, she decided to identify as pansexual.

Someone who is attracted (can be sexually, can be platonically) to everyone, regardless of gender. For example, a pansexual person would be attracted to males, females, transgenders, hermaphrodites, and others of any sexual orientation.
THIS MEANS THAT NO, PANSEXUAL PEOPLE ARE NOT ATTRACTED TO PANS.
"Pan" comes from the Latin, meaning "all"; strangely enough, it is the name of the Greek god of the wild as well.
Synonyms: omnisexual
Antonyms: asexual
Related words: heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual

Bob: Hey, Jake, I have to tell you something... I'm pansexual.
Jake: Does that mean you're attracted to pans?
Bob: No, idiot, it means I'm attracted to everyone.
Jake: Well I'm gay...
Bob, Jake: ...
(They move closer to each other, start dating and end up getting married because their state is actually tolerant of non-heterosexual sexual orientations.)

A pansexual individual is someone who experiences sexual attractions to people regardless of gender identity, in practice this is very similar to bisexuality.
Pansexuality differs with bisexuality in that most people who identify as pansexual are attracted to people in trans and nonbinary communities. This doesn't mean that some bisexuals aren't (many actually are and use pansexual and bisexual interchangebly) however some bisexuals are attracted to be only cis gender males and females.
In practice bisexualty and pansexuality overlap
In practice pansexuality may also vary in that it includes more than two genders but not all (despite its prefix meaning all). For instance, because of its inclusion of nonbinary and transgender individuals some people who are exclusively attracted to nonbinary and trans people may still identify as pansexual despite the fact they are not attracted to cis people. This contradiction exists because it is impossible to label every variation in human sexuality. The best way to know is to ask. Pansexuals like bisexuals can also have preferences.
Also while pansexual is defined as a sexual attraction, colloquially people use it to include romantic attractions as well. Its often times used to mean panromantic, while this is incorrect, the concept of romantic orientation is not as widely known as sexual orientation and most use it out of convience or out of genuine ignorance, there is a difference.

Girl 1: I thought you were a lesbian why are you sleeping a trans guy?
Girl 2: I'm pansexual, im sexually attracted to multiple genders!
