| dc.description.abstract | This essay introduces the term pansexuality and suggests briefly that pansexuality, as a concept, simplifies communication and provides a useful tool for understanding that sexuality includes more than just three subcategories: heterosexuality, homosexual- ity, and bisexuality This essay also proposes that a pansexual perspective deconstructs the stereotypical interrelation between biological sex and sexual behavior. Specifically, pansexuality demonstrates that biological sex does not correlate strictly with particular sexual behaviors. For example, "real" men are not necessarily heterosexual and may enjoy being pursued; some "real" women may pursue both men and women and enjoy sexually dominating them. By adding another conceptual term to our lexicon, we could improve the way we analyze and discuss issues involving gender, sexuality, and the law. | en_US |
