Pansexuality is a sexual orientation, distinct from bisexuality and characterized by potential aesthetic attraction, romantic love and sexual desire for anybody, including those people who don't fit into the gender binary of male/female implied by bisexual attraction. It is sometimes described as the capacity to love a person romantically, irrespective of gender. Some pansexuals go so far as to claim that gender and sex are meaningless to them.

Pansexuals favor romance, and consider any act ok as long as it is consensual. Pansexuals are attracted to romance in almost any form, and are turned on by almost any act of sex on a carnal level.

It has also been claimed that pansexuality refers not to a metaphysical order of attraction to other human beings but rather, a more carnal attraction to sexual acts in general and irrespective of gender.

Pansexuality is more accurately described by its adepts: human or person oriented.

He or she is primarily attracted by the person's way of expressing his/her sexuality. Gender is a secondary, distant factor; something that will be discovered if and when sexual interaction takes place.
