I take this as the official definition of bisexuality. By Robyn Ochs: “I call myself bisexual because I acknowledge that I have in myself the potential to be attracted - romantically and/or sexually - to people of more than one gender, not necessarily at the same time, not necessarily in the same way, and not necessarily to the same degree.”
@UCcFmvhxGYU1EJlp7zlw_3Rw no problem. I was attracted to both men and women since I was 3. My female attraction had first started with Cartoon characters such as Kim Possible, shego, Trixie tang (the fairly odd parents), jazz Fenton and Sam (Danny phantom), kimiko (xiaolin showdown), and Rika (Digimon Tamers), and Yumi and Aelita (Code Lyoko). I had considered my attraction towards female normal growing up but didn't pay much attention to it. I remember staring at girls in elementary and middle school. I remembered flirting with some girls back in 7th grade during P.E. My attraction became stronger once I had entered high school. I honestly don't mind falling for a girl as I do with men. So at that time I had then identified myself as bisexual but as time went by, I then discovered the term Pansexuality a year after graduation and i was like" I guess that could work" as I don't care about who I'm dating. I am also open to date nonbinary individuals. I only see individuals with personalities, with feelings, and with personal lives. I also identified myself as queer. It took years for me to discover myself until high school and after graduation.
@@jerricawilliams9989 I enjoyed reading comment and I am glad you could discover your sexuality. I am in college right now, but I start questioning my sexuality since high school. I had some crushes on boys in real life, but not in the same gender. Thought, since teenage years I had crushes on male fictional characters, I can also have crushes on females charecters.
Here is the best Omni vs Pan explanation I can think of: Imagine a rainbow. Pansexual people are fully colourblind. They only see white. And guess what? They love white! So they don’t care about which colour they pick because they can’t see the colour. Now Omnisexual people aren’t colourblind and can see and appreciate every colour, and they like all of them! Sometimes, they even have a favourite colour! Hope this helps xx
I’m Omnisexual; I normally see people for there genders and sexuality but I’m still appreciative and attractive to whom ever. I’m just not gender blind so you’re correct lol thank you for explaining to people💙💗.
As someone who identifies as omni I thought I would add to the conversation. For me, I am attracted to all genders. It feels different between different genders, gender plays a roll. I personally wouldn’t say that I have preferences, more that they just feel different.
13:13 says "I'm attracted to people regardless of gender but not just because of their personality" As a Pansexual myself, I'm really glad this point is brought forward as that's exactly how I define Pansexuality. Being gender-blind, as in "gender doesn't play a part when it comes to being attracted to someone" but you can indeed totally feel attracted to someone without knowing much about their personality, or anything at all. It can be just the vibe they give off at first glance, how they present themeselves outside of their gender identities, their aura and presence, their charisma, etc. I also always look into people's eyes to know if I'm attracted to them, as I find them very expressive. I've had experiences in which I don't find someone attractive at first glance/meeting but I do when I get to know their personality and I've also experienced being attracted to someone at first glance/meeting but as I get to know their personality that attraction fades away. I'm personally unlikely to feel attracted to someone whose personality I am aware of and I don't like or vibe with because it shapes how I view them. But for me, you don't need to know peoples personalities to be attracted to them. You can also find someone physically attractive without associating it to their gender identity, therefore remaining gender-blindly attracted. There's nowhere where "beeing attracted to people just because of their personality" is specified as a strictly necessary rule to identify as Pansexual. Pansexuality just means you don't mind about people's gender when beeing attracted to them. That's my view on it, I hope it helps :)
oh my god. that is so relatable on a fundamental level. im very new to queerness hence the reason im watching this video because ive never actually felt attracted to my own gender before but now i am attracted to this girl at college but its not like that means im attracted to all girls and all the men ive been attracted to werent because they were men, i just liked them as a person and i am sure that i wouldve liked them the same even if they were women or trans or non binary or anything else. its all about the vibes really, because i really dont think about the persons gender when im attracted to them. but its not that all i care about is their personality because im attracted to a girl rn that i dont know much about but imstill very attracted to her. its really confusing honestly
I think Omnisexual is closest for me, but I don’t have a preference for one gender. I experience my sexuality as attraction to all genders, but gender does influence the way I feel that attraction and how I might approach someone I’m interested in. Like I don’t feel stronger attraction towards one gender, just slightly different attractions towards different genders. Hopefully that makes some sense?
I know! The amount of times I have had to explain what Omni is different from Pan and how and why and all those things always shock me. Also the amount of times I’ve had to say “poly sexuality is not being polyamorous” is sometimes crazy. I understand that they are less known but sometimes I really wish I wasn’t always the one who had to explain it.
A trans guy who likes nonbinary people and women could be polysexual, since this includes multiple genders, but not all. Some guys who like women and nonbinary people will also consider themselves straight; it’s up to personal preference. Also, a person who likes women and nonbinary people would be trixensexual if you want a specific label. Hope that helps 🥰
Honestly, when I first started identifying with omni, I would get really triggered when it would seem like people that seem to fit the definition of omni identified with something else but now I know that it really just depends on what makes the person comfortable. I eventually found the term omni and started using that to identify with because I didn't feel comfortable with the other labels but if someone else does, then that should be okay too.
omg this was the exact content i needed rn!! i first labeled myself as bi but i feel pan or omni would suit me better and this has really helped 💗- also thank you for answering my question :)
I’m aware this video is a bit old now but I just wanted to mention part of knowing whether you’re bi or Omni can just be about what you’re comfortable with, I identify as bi but could be called either bi or Omni because I have attraction to all people but with a preference for feminine people! The main definitions are obviously the main factors in knowing what you’re sexuality is but if you could fit more than one just go with what you’re comfortable with.
I recently started coming to terms with being Bisexual. I'm a "masculine" cis-gendered male that likes cis-gendered women and cis gendered "masculine" men. Which is extremely binary. It's strange to me in the journey because with women I get emotionally, mentally, and physically attracted but with men it's usually just physically and sometimes mentally- but with men it never goes beyond a "serious" interest and is short lived and casual. People say I'm just confused, but I genuinely would be happy being polyamorous and bisexual with a cis-gendered bisexual woman and us have an "open" relationship. People say I'm selfish, but it's genuinely how I feel, lately I've shut out women and have gained more interest in "masculine" cis-gendered men physically and with women I have a tendency to fall hard and get scared of the vulnerability I feel with women. Whereas with men it's always just simple and I can easily leave without a thought since I don't see it as a serious connection- it makes me feel conflicted because I feel as though I close off from women and distract myself with casual intimacy with cis-men just to "run away" from that comfort I feel with women and many see it is extremely problematic. Any advice?
Thank you, Dutchy and lovely people in the comments for helping me with my sexuality (the last question). When I was going through the definitions on my own I had a bit of problem understanding the differences, but thanks to this video I understand the difference and thanks to the people in the comment section I know the right label. Thank you all so so much ❤️❤️❤️
DEFINITION OF BISEXUALITY: “I call myself bisexual because I acknowledge that I have in myself the potential to be attracted-romantically and/or sexually-to people of more than one gender, not necessarily at the same time, in the same way, or to the same degree.” This definition covers bisexual, pansexual and omni. There's simply no need to have all these labels.
I’m already trying to figure out whether I’m bi or pan then I learn what omnisexual is. Welp another one to add to the list. But seriously help I can’t figure out which one I am. I would be fine with any gender but idk if I’m attracted based on gender or not.
Omnisexual - Liking all genders, but having a preference for one of them. Pansexual - Liking somebody regardless of gender. Bisexual - Liking 2 or more genders Polysexual - Liking some but not all genders
Also it kind of comes down to the person, if they feel more comfortable with bisexual even though they fit the definition of omnisexual a bit more they kind of can (if the sexualities are really similar)
Bi does mean your gender and other genders which absolutely can mean all genders, I’m bi and I like all genders so I think bi would work well for the Omni or pan person
@@belledej7555 omni is like all genders with a preference, bi in the umbrella so pan, poly, omni are all bi, their just like specifiers if you know what i mean.
@@belledej7555 i think it probably originally meant just men and women, but its been super inclusive since 1990s, if you read the bi manifesto it talks about not being limited and multiple genders existing. Theres also a long time trans and bi allyship
I too kept freezing up but recently my parents visited me and saw my bi-pride flag. They asked me about it and I explained i’m bi. It was really awkward for a few days but i’m glad i’m out and I feel much better now. I got the idea of using the flag from watching Dutchy’s videos on different ways to come out, if you haven’t seen those I recommend watching them. Another idea I liked (my back up plan) was to write a letter. Hope this helps..
Thank you for making this video, that did helped me to understand about myself better. I think that I am Omnisexual, because I feel like, I do not care what gender I would date, but probably attracted more in boys. I do feel like I wouldn't mind having a romantic and sexual relationship with the same gender, as the example, but I see myself in the future being with the opposite gender, however I do not really want to participate in sexual activity with the opposite gender. Though I did wish to have sexual activity with the opposite gender, but not anymore .I still feel that I would not minds to date people with the other gender, as long as I can know the partner better, before we jump into a romantic relationship. In the end, I also still prefer to experience my sexuality's. I hope I did not confused you
Hey Dutchy. I just found out I am not in fact bi, but I am Lesbian. I do not know what to do, please give me advice on what I should do to let people know???
I realized why I prefer the label bisexual or queer for myself. I don't honestly know whether or not I'm attracted to all genders, but I'm definitely attracted to more than just men and women. Maybe I would technically fit the definition of omnisexual or polysexual, but it makes me really overwhelmed thinking about whether or not I'm attracted to each of the many genders tbh. I just prefer a broader umbrella term for myself that isn't too specific.
Dutchy: Next Saturday Me: laughs in Fridayin (Ik that she lives in Australia and I live in the Us) Also I found this video that is the same topic: ruclips.net/video/bf6_8eCzCy4/видео.html
This was a great video- I’ve tried watching others to explain the difference between them (mainly between Omni and Pan) but for some reason I’ve found all of them confusing- This made it a lot easier to understand so thanks!
Basically: Bi- Multiple genders in any way, or attraction to two or more genders. Pan- Attraction regardless of gender/all genders where gender doesn’t impact attraction. Omni- Attraction to all genders where gender does impact attraction. Poly- Attraction to some but not all genders or gender alignments.
@@belledej7555 read the bisexual manifesto and look at bisexual organizations. The two refers to genders like and unlike ones own gender, not attraction exclusively to two genders. Many bisexuals are attracted to all genders and have been for decades
I mean... pansexuals may just have a preference, omni just doesn't make sense. If I were bi and had a preference for girls, than I wouldn't be bi anymore?
This helped so much because I was thinking I was pan-curious for a long time but then I saw omnisexual and I was questioning the differences and if I was on or the other and now I know and polysexual which Is definitely something I could look into this is helping so much with my sexuality journey
i think that the trans man attracted to non ninary people and women would just be bi. bc yk bi is being attracted to two or more genders. at least thats how i feel being bi is.
Yeah but bi means attracted to your gender and others, right? And they are man (trans men are men), so I think they are not bi but poly maybe, just on the fact that they are not attracted to men (own gender) but others. Sorry, if I am wrong. I am Bi woman but I don't know much about poly.
I resonate most with less common gender identities and sexualities (omni and genderfluid), but I generally use the more well known labels (bi and non-binary) to people aren’t LGBTQ+
Pan is the Greek prefix for all and omni is the Latin prefic for all. I lable myself as pansexual as gender identities don't make any difference for me. I'm attracted to the character of a person and not their gender identity. As far as I understand it pan and omni are just the same. As far as I also understand it poly and bi are also the same thing, i.e. attraction to 2 or more gender identities while having certain preferencies regarding the gender identity. Don't forget that there could be a difference between romantic and sexual attraction. You could for instance be panromantic and bisexual, which would mean that you're romantically attracted to all gender identities, but you have preferences when it comes to sex.
Pan and omni are not the same. Pansexuality is not based on gender and more personality wise, they cannot have a preference because they like people regardless of gender. Omniexuality is liking all genders with a preference :D Poly and bi are not the same because poly can exclude some genders, while bi is attraction to a person of the same gender and opposite gender, meaning it could be anyone outside of the persons gender identity. Hope that helps!! any omni, poly, or pan people feel free to correct me :)
Hello Dutchy! I loved this video so much just like all you're other video's🤍 Can you maybe do a video sometimes on: Genderfluid, bigender, non-binary etc. ?
I am attracted to all genders, and I don't have a prefer any genders over the over, but I wouldn't say I'm 'colourblind' because for instance, for women .... I'm not as attracted to 'studs' as I am to femme girls. So, I think that makes me omnisexual. But when I came out to people who aren't in the LGBT community, I say I'm bisexual, since that's the only sexuality out of these four that most of them have heard of.
Um. I am very queer. A girl asked me out. And I said yes. But now I feel bad because I don’t even know my sexuality. And I really like a guy. But I also like this girl. WTF DO I DOOO
12:48 maybe this person has a different sexual orientation than their romantic one I have a friend who's bisexual but heteroromantic maybe this person also has something like this going on
I am Bi girl. I might be wrong. Sorry in advance. But I think the trans man who is attracted to women and non-binaries might be Polysexual. because he is attracted to many (not all) gender. Also, Bi means being attracted to same gender and others. But he is a man who is not attracted to men (as trans mem are men are trans women are women). So, I think he might be polysexual. Sorry, if I'm way off the topic. I'm too trying to educate myself. Please correct me.
I feel like pan and omni are extended forms of bi? Also how can I be sure if I'm attracted to all genders or just some when I haven't been that much in contact with people of all these different genders?
Thank you so much. I have been wondering if I am Pan but now Omni is an option I didn't know about but I'm still not sure. I think I may be Omni but feel more comfortable using Pan since I am not sure where I fall on that spectrum.
It's this huge mess.. I know i like girls they're amazing.. and I like the idea of a boyfriend.. but I'm not sure if I like boys.. I like fictional boys but not ones in real life.. I like this one girl who im pretty sure has a boyfriend and I can barley fiction around and I really like her.. last year I liked this guy but idk if I actually liked him.. I came out as lesbian to my friends but idk thats right.. help please.. im so confused
Dutchy - I realized I’m bi Bc I had serious thoughts ab it and I was proud of them And had thoughts ab both Genders Because I thought about girls and guy in specifically my friend I have in chemistry class 😂 (Boy) and a girl I had a crush on for a while I also liked but I was ok with it
Hey I wanna say this I just asked my bestfreind who's a boy out I'm a boy my first time asking out the same gender I'm bisexual and he said he needed to finish a convo about it with his mum he now said it's done and will tell me on monday
I think i’m pan since i have attractive to all people regardless of gender but when it’s comes to intimacy with women i just can not do it, does that make me poly sexual.please help!!
When you see somebody you fancy how do you feel inside turning your head and does the hair stand up on your on the back of your knee and the things you need to be looking out for twitches and things that happened funny little feelings
Is there such thing as a polysexual person? because i saw a vid about polysexuality and there was such thing as a polysexual person that i think i identify as basically i'm wondering if you can have multiple sexuality's if that makes sense.
Okay I have came out as bi and feel valid with that but I never get nervous around people. I don’t know if I have crushes on them so it’s really hard to find out my sexuality. I think I could be ace can u make a vid on how to know
@@inesbc2001 ya maybe. But I’d love to sit and be with someone and do like romantic things but I just never get nervous with people or crushes. Maybe it’s just that I’m young but even then ppl at my age get butterflies. I’m just so scared
@@tessamuddle5008 It can take a long, long time for a person to find that out... sexuality and feelings are so complex. We also grow and evolve as people and get to know ourselves as time goes by. I myself am bi, 37 years old but have only been in love once, and rarely experience romantic attraction, so I'm still not 100% sure as to which extent I'm bi. Don't know if I could fall in love with a woman, cause it hasn't happened yet. I don't mean that these things take a long time to figure out for everybody, but that experience will probably, little by little, start to make things clearer.
I was thinking about kissing someone I know who would be willing to do it so that I could get more info for if I’m gay or bi because I know that I’m either of those
I don't know if it would mean anything if you don't have a crush on the person? It might be just awkward because you don't see them that way and you might mistake it for not being interested in that gender. I think about crushes, I have had about 5 crushes and they've been men, enbies and a woman. It was equally strong feelings but different sort of wibes, so I think gender plays a role for me. (Not attracted 'regardless of gender', but because of it and other things) Therefore I think I'm bi. If you're young and you just don't have a lot of experience of crushes yet, you don't need to hurry labeling your orientation in them. If you've had multiple crushes so far and they've all been same gender, perhaps you could be gay.

Omnisexual - Liking all genders, but having a preference for one of them.
Pansexual - Liking somebody regardless of gender.
Bisexual - Liking 2 or more genders
Polysexual - Liking some but not all genders
My definition of polysexual is liking some but not all genders

Bi does mean your gender and other genders which absolutely can mean all genders, I’m bi and I like all genders so I think bi would work well for the Omni or pan person
I’m Omni, but what’s the difference with that and bi then?
@@belledej7555 omni is like all genders with a preference, bi in the umbrella so pan, poly, omni are all bi, their just like specifiers if you know what i mean.
@@fragmentsofanusha yea, but I thought bi meant 2…
@@belledej7555 i think it probably originally meant just men and women, but its been super inclusive since 1990s, if you read the bi manifesto it talks about not being limited and multiple genders existing. Theres also a long time trans and bi allyship
@@fragmentsofanusha biracial means 2, a bicycle means 2, but bisexual can be more than 2… I give up 🤣
I discovered I'm a polysexual..realized I am attracted to women, men, and also transgender individuals.
Tranagender what they look like men or women your just confused
Omnisexual had finally been mentioned! :D
Me too 💗💖🖤🔵💙
I really want to tell my parents that I am pan but I keep freezing and not telling them what should I do
I too kept freezing up but recently my parents visited me and saw my bi-pride flag.
They asked me about it and I explained i’m bi.
It was really awkward for a few days but i’m glad i’m out and I feel much better now.
I got the idea of using the flag from watching Dutchy’s videos on different ways to come out, if you haven’t seen those I recommend watching them.
Another idea I liked (my back up plan) was to write a letter.
Hope this helps..
@@mathilde5928 thanks you so much I may do this
Thank you for making this video, that did helped me to understand about myself better. I think that I am Omnisexual, because I feel like, I do not care what gender I would date, but probably attracted more in boys. I do feel like I wouldn't mind having a romantic and sexual relationship with the same gender, as the example, but I see myself in the future being with the opposite gender, however I do not really want to participate in sexual activity with the opposite gender. Though I did wish to have sexual activity with the opposite gender, but not anymore .I still feel that I would not minds to date people with the other gender, as long as I can know the partner better, before we jump into a romantic relationship. In the end, I also still prefer to experience my sexuality's. I hope I did not confused you
I feel the same way
one thing with omni is that you don't necessarily have to have a preference but you can. gender just plays a role in how you act with your partner.
Pretty much yeah. I used to really connect with the definition that includes having a preference but now I feel I vibe more with the other definition.
Hey Dutchy. I just found out I am not in fact bi, but I am Lesbian. I do not know what to do, please give me advice on what I should do to let people know???
CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON GENDER IDENITITYS LIKE GIRL FLUX, DEMIGENDER AND AGENDER
I realized why I prefer the label bisexual or queer for myself. I don't honestly know whether or not I'm attracted to all genders, but I'm definitely attracted to more than just men and women. Maybe I would technically fit the definition of omnisexual or polysexual, but it makes me really overwhelmed thinking about whether or not I'm attracted to each of the many genders tbh. I just prefer a broader umbrella term for myself that isn't too specific.
I personally like to describe omnisexuality as liking every gender as much as a bisexual person would like 2
Gay, straight or bisexual. Those are your choices. There really are no other options
Thank you
Dutchy: Next Saturday
Me: laughs in Fridayin
(Ik that she lives in Australia and I live in the Us)
Also I found this video that is the same topic: ruclips.net/video/bf6_8eCzCy4/видео.html
This was a great video- I’ve tried watching others to explain the difference between them (mainly between Omni and Pan) but for some reason I’ve found all of them confusing- This made it a lot easier to understand so thanks!
Basically: Bi- Multiple genders in any way, or attraction to two or more genders. Pan- Attraction regardless of gender/all genders where gender doesn’t impact attraction. Omni- Attraction to all genders where gender does impact attraction. Poly- Attraction to some but not all genders or gender alignments.
can u give an example of poly please?
I thought bi meant 2…
@@belledej7555 read the bisexual manifesto and look at bisexual organizations. The two refers to genders like and unlike ones own gender, not attraction exclusively to two genders. Many bisexuals are attracted to all genders and have been for decades
@@belledej7555 also the prefix doesn’t determine the meaning, it’s usage does.
@@kagstraydogs6143 this is still confusing…how come everything else that got bi in it mean 2, but not bisexual?
I did not have time to watch yesterday. I am also questioning like someone else who commented and I think I'm omni but this will help I hope!
for the person who is attracted to women and non-binary and is a trans man I think the label I would use if I was you is neptunic
What does neptunic mean?
@@junkoenoshima2756
I went on Instagram and didn't find the pronounce thing and I don't have a option to update either, so I just have them in my bio, but like LOVE THAT
Yeah i think it only works for ppl living in america right now
I mean... pansexuals may just have a preference, omni just doesn't make sense. If I were bi and had a preference for girls, than I wouldn't be bi anymore?
Thank you!! A lot of people don’t know about omni and this was also just good for general info 💖
I love how we’re all uniting here
@@friendlyfrog8319 sameeee
This helped so much because I was thinking I was pan-curious for a long time but then I saw omnisexual and I was questioning the differences and if I was on or the other and now I know and polysexual which Is definitely something I could look into this is helping so much with my sexuality journey
i think that the trans man attracted to non ninary people and women would just be bi. bc yk bi is being attracted to two or more genders. at least thats how i feel being bi is.
Yeah but bi means attracted to your gender and others, right? And they are man (trans men are men), so I think they are not bi but poly maybe, just on the fact that they are not attracted to men (own gender) but others.
Sorry, if I am wrong. I am Bi woman but I don't know much about poly.
I resonate most with less common gender identities and sexualities (omni and genderfluid), but I generally use the more well known labels (bi and non-binary) to people aren’t LGBTQ+
If I’m attracted to male, female, non-binary, and gender fluid people does it means I’m omnisexual or bisexual? I’m so confused
Umm WOAH thank you for your explanation on identifying as pan if you have a preference it reallyyyyy helped me out tysm!!
Pan is the Greek prefix for all and omni is the Latin prefic for all. I lable myself as pansexual as gender identities don't make any difference for me. I'm attracted to the character of a person and not their gender identity. As far as I understand it pan and omni are just the same.
As far as I also understand it poly and bi are also the same thing, i.e. attraction to 2 or more gender identities while having certain preferencies regarding the gender identity.
Don't forget that there could be a difference between romantic and sexual attraction. You could for instance be panromantic and bisexual, which would mean that you're romantically attracted to all gender identities, but you have preferences when it comes to sex.
Pan and omni are not the same. Pansexuality is not based on gender and more personality wise, they cannot have a preference because they like people regardless of gender. Omniexuality is liking all genders with a preference :D
Poly and bi are not the same because poly can exclude some genders, while bi is attraction to a person of the same gender and opposite gender, meaning it could be anyone outside of the persons gender identity. Hope that helps!!
any omni, poly, or pan people feel free to correct me :)
Thanks Dutchy, the video was very helpful! Love you :))
Hello Dutchy! I loved this video so much just like all you're other video's🤍 Can you maybe do a video sometimes on: Genderfluid, bigender, non-binary etc. ?
Yes! A video on that would be great. pan-gender too if you want.
I am pretty sure I am pan, but I really dislike the feeling of labeling my sexuality. It feels limiting.
I recently came out as bisexual but now I think I'm pansexual so basicly im really confused I have absolutely no clue. Help.
Can you do a video on how to hint to a girl that you like them without being like “hey I like i you you a lot” cuz I’m sooooo awkward?
I am attracted to all genders, and I don't have a prefer any genders over the over, but I wouldn't say I'm 'colourblind' because for instance, for women .... I'm not as attracted to 'studs' as I am to femme girls. So, I think that makes me omnisexual. But when I came out to people who aren't in the LGBT community, I say I'm bisexual, since that's the only sexuality out of these four that most of them have heard of.
Um. I am very queer. A girl asked me out. And I said yes. But now I feel bad because I don’t even know my sexuality. And I really like a guy. But I also like this girl. WTF DO I DOOO
You might also be polyamerous (idk how to spell it) not a sexuality but in the community
@@junkoenoshima2756 oh ok. Thanks
Thank you for the video
A common thing that happens if I tell someone I’m Pan they go so you’re Bi?
12:48 maybe this person has a different sexual orientation than their romantic one
I have a friend who's bisexual but heteroromantic
maybe this person also has something like this going on
I am Bi girl. I might be wrong. Sorry in advance. But I think the trans man who is attracted to women and non-binaries might be Polysexual. because he is attracted to many (not all) gender. Also, Bi means being attracted to same gender and others. But he is a man who is not attracted to men (as trans mem are men are trans women are women). So, I think he might be polysexual.
Sorry, if I'm way off the topic. I'm too trying to educate myself. Please correct me.
I feel like pan and omni are extended forms of bi? Also how can I be sure if I'm attracted to all genders or just some when I haven't been that much in contact with people of all these different genders?
You won't find a better explanation
Love youre video's dutchy and that jumper is so cute learned alot watching u thank u xxx appreciate you
Polysexual means multiple genders but not genders because there's so many genders out there
If you feel like it, could you please let me know where you got your jumper from? It's super cute! :)
I’m polysexual
Hey Dutchy... I'm tryna find out if I'm bi. I'm not that educated about this topic. What are the pronouns I can use if I'm bi?
You can use any! You can use he/him or she/her , they/them.
@@dollieia thank you so much 💗
am i still omni if my preference changes? i preferred women but now i like masculinity more?
Thank you so much. I have been wondering if I am Pan but now Omni is an option I didn't know about but I'm still not sure. I think I may be Omni but feel more comfortable using Pan since I am not sure where I fall on that spectrum.
You could stick up a picture of me for that empty space on the wall.
I'm def not gender blind in my attractions. But bi implies being attracted to all genders in most cases?
omni gang 😫
Im straight its just idk why i like to come to these videos to find out what these werid words mean
I think im kinda omni, i think gender plays a role. I like non binary female and male but i prefer male if that makes sense. What is this?
I'm confused as well like how does this stuff make sense
they seem the same its confusing ha ha i am BI as f*ck
Your so funny i love you so so so muchhhh!!!! :D
Your my favorite!!!!!
It's this huge mess.. I know i like girls they're amazing.. and I like the idea of a boyfriend.. but I'm not sure if I like boys.. I like fictional boys but not ones in real life.. I like this one girl who im pretty sure has a boyfriend and I can barley fiction around and I really like her.. last year I liked this guy but idk if I actually liked him.. I came out as lesbian to my friends but idk thats right.. help please.. im so confused
Dutchy - I realized I’m bi Bc I had serious thoughts ab it and I was proud of them
And had thoughts ab both Genders
Because I thought about girls and guy in specifically my friend I have in chemistry class 😂 (Boy) and a girl I had a crush on for a while I also liked but I was ok with it
Lol my sexuality it noticed ( Omni)
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH, FUCK!!!!!!! IM QUESTIONING MY SEXUAL ORIENTATION AGAIN! NOT SURE IF IM OMNI OR BI OR JUST QUEER FHDJFHDJDJFJRNRNRN
Hey I wanna say this
I just asked my bestfreind who's a boy out I'm a boy my first time asking out the same gender I'm bisexual and he said he needed to finish a convo about it with his mum he now said it's done and will tell me on monday
Woah that’s awesome!!! Pls update on what he says :)
So a non binary person couldn’t be omnisexual? Cause you said omnisexual people label themselves and others with a gender?
I think i’m pan since i have attractive to all people regardless of gender but when it’s comes to intimacy with women i just can not do it, does that make me poly sexual.please help!!
When you see somebody you fancy how do you feel inside turning your head and does the hair stand up on your on the back of your knee and the things you need to be looking out for twitches and things that happened funny little feelings
I love how you liked your own comments because nobody agrees with you please do your research
The trans mans label could be straight enbys can be included in any sexuality so people who like women and enbys who are men would be straight
Is there such thing as a polysexual person? because i saw a vid about polysexuality and there was such thing as a polysexual person that i think i identify as basically i'm wondering if you can have multiple sexuality's if that makes sense.
Okay I have came out as bi and feel valid with that but I never get nervous around people. I don’t know if I have crushes on them so it’s really hard to find out my sexuality. I think I could be ace can u make a vid on how to know
You could also be aromantic! Meaning that you don't experience romantic attraction. And of course you can also be both asexual and aromantic :)
@@inesbc2001 ya maybe. But I’d love to sit and be with someone and do like romantic things but I just never get nervous with people or crushes. Maybe it’s just that I’m young but even then ppl at my age get butterflies. I’m just so scared
@@tessamuddle5008 It can take a long, long time for a person to find that out... sexuality and feelings are so complex. We also grow and evolve as people and get to know ourselves as time goes by.
I myself am bi, 37 years old but have only been in love once, and rarely experience romantic attraction, so I'm still not 100% sure as to which extent I'm bi. Don't know if I could fall in love with a woman, cause it hasn't happened yet.
I don't mean that these things take a long time to figure out for everybody, but that experience will probably, little by little, start to make things clearer.
Dutchy can you make a video about pronouns??
Well im trying to find out if im omnisexual polysexual pansexual or bisexual
Your just bi an sexuality means your attracted to an gender there's only 4 heterosexual homosexuality bisexuality and asexuality
YAYYYY ❤️🌈🥰
I was thinking about kissing someone I know who would be willing to do it so that I could get more info for if I’m gay or bi because I know that I’m either of those
I don't know if it would mean anything if you don't have a crush on the person? It might be just awkward because you don't see them that way and you might mistake it for not being interested in that gender.
I think about crushes, I have had about 5 crushes and they've been men, enbies and a woman. It was equally strong feelings but different sort of wibes, so I think gender plays a role for me. (Not attracted 'regardless of gender', but because of it and other things) Therefore I think I'm bi.
If you're young and you just don't have a lot of experience of crushes yet, you don't need to hurry labeling your orientation in them.
If you've had multiple crushes so far and they've all been same gender, perhaps you could be gay.
Can you talk about polyamory and what the difference it is to poly
