But I mean, what's the difference between the adjectives "pansexual" and "promiscuous" -- or, my preferred word -- "slutty"? Or are they synonyms? Seriously, I'm just trying to figure out what makes this word unique so I stop hating it so much.
I think 'promiscuous' means 'I have lots of sex freely/willy nilly'. Usually this is only applied to one gender - slutty doesn't apply 'She fucks anything' so much as 'she fucks guys'.
Pansexual means 'I'm open to the POSSIBILITY of many things'. You can be the monogomous type and be pansexual.
But usually I see pansexuality usually referes to GROUPS (like, GLBT groups, BDSM groups, etc - they are pansexual, open to all sexualities).
If you ask me, I'd think that pansexual goes beyond slutty. Slutty just means you like to sleep around with all kinds of guys and girls. If you're pansexual (pan, as in panoramic, overspanning everything) you'd like to do the nasty with boys, girls, trans, kids, animals, corpses, vegetables, household appliances, etc.
Though the greek 'pan' just means everything. So yeah. Screw anything! Like frying pans and the kitchen sink as well as, well. Anything that you can somehow be sexual with or something. I prefer to think of myself as 'discerning'.

Then again, I have a vivid imagination.
