I'm aware this could have been placed in the Sexuality section, but I felt it would do much better over here since I'm asking for thoughts and opinions. As well as a debate, if one happens to manifest.

Feel free to check the Wikipedia link on pansexuality: Pansexuality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. If you're in a TL;DR mood, pansexuals claim that gender is arbitrary (meaningless or irrelevant) in choosing or falling in love with a partner. They claim to be sexually attracted to males, females, transgendered people and males or females that act outside their societal gender roles (as if the latter three didn't already fall into the first two categories). The concept of pansexuality is that specific sexual orientation and this notion of two genders is rejected.

Some pansexuals may describe pansexuality as being attracted to someone emotionally (regardless of gender) before sexual attractions are formed and the belief that humans were originally pansexual before society distorted our view, thus creating separate sexualities, is also a common theory behind pansexuality.

I recently got into a discussion about it with a friend and decided to investigate further, as I had little knowledge on the subject. I know have firm beliefs about it from the information I've gathered and what logical conclusions I've (tried) to come to. I'm more interesting now in what others think. If there are any pansexuals on TeenForumz, feel free to explain pansexuality better than I have or add anything you wish to.

I realise there may be some people who could potentially be offended by this discussion. I make no apology. You're free to go apeshit and post your opinions below.

Thoughts? Opinions? Discuss.

Edit: Please keep in mind that asexuality and pansexuality are both very separate. They are not the same thing.

Yes I believe it exsits to put it simply

Some just have no desire for sexual things

I was thinking about this a couple of days ago, I'll reserve judgement mainly because I have no opinion so far. The concept appears idealistic to some extent as everybody says personality over appearance, but in practice I haven't seen any such a thing.
To claim that humans were originally pansexual I don't think is correct though. In more savage times there would be more isolation and less communication, so how it was managed that people mated because of personality when there was little to no way of expressing it I do not know.

You're thinking asexuality. Pansexuals have sexual desire, but for anybody regardless of gender/societal norms. A pansexual can have sexual desire for anybody, but it manifests itself after 'falling in love' with another's personality.

It does, I am pansexual myself.

If people believe in such ridiculous things as God and shit, I don't see why pansexuality should be a stretch of the imagination.-shrug-

And I now predict that this debate will become a religious one. On TeenForumz, it always does. For anyone wishing to add more to their post or elaborate on their stance, please do.
