Long ago, when I had determined that my physical sight was limited by functioning receptors in my eyes (color blindness). I also learned that what I see as a spectrum is different from what other individuals who are color blind see as their spectrum is different. As the color spectrum available at the local paint store vastly increased with the advent of equipment that could mix a near endless list of colors became available..
As I experienced life, I came to understand that the same is true regarding Human Sexuality. With a base of two choices, one would think that there would be limits to variety. But, Humans are blessed with a very creative mind that finds vast variations based from two choices. For untold reasons, as a species, we find it difficult to perceive the vast number /selection of likely variations. That said, selection /choice becomes a confusing and dangerous discussion as many have never considered such a huge variation. Likely the reasoning behind individuals that find such variations difficult to relate to.
In following this decision, it becomes confusing to me to relate to the 'terms' used as I have not been exposed to the ever expanding list of terms. Had some one stated they were PAN, a week ago, I would have been lost to find a connection.
As we continue to understand /use an ever increase spectrum of 'titles.' The vast populations will lag ever further behind as blindness of color is just as likely with Sexuality. It becomes important to define words as the unintended reader of the discussion will become lost /confused . To that end, it becomes important to provide definitions.
Cheers!
