Identifying as an omnisexual
Identifying as an omnisexual is a great step towards embracing your sexuality. As an omnisexual, you can have sexual relationships with men and women of any gender. The flag of the Omnisexual community contains five colors: blue, pink, and purple. Pink and blue represent attraction towards men and women, and purple represents attraction towards people of all genders.
Pansexuality is similar to omnisexuality, though it isn’t the same. People who identify as pansexual are attracted to people of both genders and believe that gender doesn’t matter.
Defining omnisexuality
The term ‘omnisexual’ is a broad term that describes a person who has an attraction to people of all genders and sexual orientations. While this term is sometimes used interchangeably with ‘pansexual,’ some argue that it is distinct from the former. Omnisexuals have an attraction to any person regardless of gender or orientation, but generally prefer one or the other. In general, they don’t consider their gender when choosing romantic partners.
Being an omnisexual is not easy, though, and it’s important to educate yourself about the term and its nuances. This way, you can avoid misunderstandings about the lifestyle of omnisexuals and other people. Some omnisexuals experience intolerance from others regarding their sexual identity, and that’s why it’s essential to spread the word about this lifestyle.
Feeling attraction to people of all genders
If you feel attraction to people of different genders, you may be pansexual. This doesn’t necessarily mean you are a sexual freak or a greedy person who constantly looks for new relationships. Neither does it mean you are incapable of committing to one partner. However, if you do experience attraction to people of different genders, there are a few things to keep in mind.
The term lesbian is a little outdated and refers to only women who feel attraction to other women. There are nonbinary people who are attracted to all genders and may identify as lesbians. Those who identify as lesbians typically feel sexual attraction to other people. These people want to experience sex with their partners. People who are not identifying as lesbians are often called heterosexual.
Resources for omnisexuals
Having a support system is essential when it comes to overcoming stigma surrounding omnisexuality. As a family member, friend, or partner, you can support your loved one by providing resources and information. Many resources are available online and can help your loved one understand themselves better. You can also find a supportive community through an online community for omnisexuals.
Although omnisexuals can be attracted to both sexes, they often face intolerance toward their sexuality, which makes it difficult to find literature on the subject. Many sources may use terms like bisexuality or pansexuality to refer to omnisexuals instead, which may cause confusion.
