Interview with the Pansexual: Part 3

To conclude Pansexuality Awareness Week, we're pleased to bring you the third and final installment of our Interview with the Pansexual series. To lighten the mood, we opened the conversation up to some of the more absurd questions our staff came up with. Ever wonder how Kurt Cobain's headless corpse fits in to pansexuality? You're about to find out.

That concludes the serious portion of our interview. As you know, the Skynet staff is comprised of a bunch of adults who are still giggling 12 year olds at heart, so we have some additional offbeat questions, but before we move on to that, is there anything you would like to add?

lol Oh boy. No, nothing that I can think of at the moment.

OK. On with the show then...

Right. Don't leave me hanging in suspense.

Would you want to have Na'vi tail sex if you were physically capable?

You know, I would totally give that a whirl.

I think I would too. The Na'vi seem really happy.

They're pretty damn hot too.

Agreed. Have you ever asked your husband to cross dress?

Not specifically, but I've offered to let him wear my underwear and such. He wouldn't go for it.

Was that a buzzkill?

Well, his reaction was so funny, I couldn't really feel too disheartened about it.

Would you rather have done Kurt Cobain or Courtney Love in their prime?

Oh god. Kurt Cobain. Courtney Love was and is hideous.

That leads into my follow up.

How handy.

Given one is still Courtney Love and the other is now a headless corpse, which would you prefer today?

Haha. I'd have to make my own third option, which is "neither."

Their daughter, Frances Bean will be legal in August. Just want to throw that out there if that changes things. What do you think of the furries?

I didn't even know they had a daughter. lol - Oh lawd. Furry lovers can be rather ridiculous, but whatever. I don't hate the furries.

But its nothing that interests you?

Not really. Some people are into it, and that's cool, but it's not my thing.

What about anime characters? They can be overtly sexual at times. I hear Trunks makes some of the ladies swoon.

Man, Trunks is one hot bitch.

I'll take that as yes then?

Definitely. I am an anime/manga whore.

What is the anime porn? Hentai?

Indeed. There's also yaoi and yuri.

Which one is the best?

Actually, I kinda like yaoi best.

Is yuri girl/girl, yaoi guy/guy or is that just what the google happened to give me when I did a search?

lol - No, no, that's right.

We have a lot of Catholic high school students who read this blog. I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you to clear your browsing history when you log off if you just googled that. Next question...I'm sure you can figure out who this is from. Buttsecks?

Hahaha. I am not a fan, no.

Does my desire to go jogging with Orlando Bloom make me a pansexual or is it just kind of gay?

Who wouldn't want to go jogging with Orlando Bloom?

Sickos. That's who.

Right!

OK. Last question. At our local Carl's, Joanna, a transexual works the register at lunchtime during the week. Is there anything you would like to say to her?

Sure. I'd like fries with that.

Ranch or ketchup?

Ketchup. Ranch belongs only on salad.

I can't disagree with you more. Anyway...Thanks for taking the time for this chat. It will be very informative for our readers.

Sure sure. Oh I hope so.

**************************

That concludes our interview and Pansexuality Awareness Week. I'd like to thank Ultimate Ice for tolerating our questions. I hope you've found this informative. Well, I hope you found parts one and two informative anyway.

On Pandora, everyone has blue balls...

Interview with the Pansexual: Part 2

In part two of our Interview with the Pansexual series, Ultimate Ice opens up about her own personal experiences. Also, I'd like to remind you that its Pansexuality Awareness Week here at Skynet, so at least try to be aware. Now for part two:

When did you first realize you were pansexual, and when did you "come out"?

Well, I realized I was bisexual in...2003, I think? That sort of transitioned into pansexuality.

Was there something that triggered the transition from bi to pan, or was it just the realization that pansexuality fit your personal situation better?

No, there was nothing specific. It just sort of came to be on its own.

So have you had sexual relationships with anyone other than a male since acknowledging your pansexuality?

Unfortunately, no, haha. I know that will raise the question "how can you be sure?" or claims that I'm just curious, from some people.

As I understand it, pansexuality does not preclude physical preferences, but merely means one is open to a relationship with someone of any gender. Do you have a physical preference?

True. And I'm not really sure that I have a preference. It's all good.

That would include hermaphroditic people, transgendered, intersex, etc?

Yes yes.

**************************

I felt I shouldn't pry too much here. I couldn't risk offending our gracious interview subject before I got to the good stuff, which you will be able to read in part three on Friday. Ever wonder how the Na'vi and Kurt Cobain fit into this? You'll find out.

Bitch and Daniela Sea are not pansexual, nor are they attending a ren faire. At least I don't think they are.

Interview with the Pansexual: Part 1

We've arbitrarily declared it Pansexuality Awareness Week here at Skynet. Why? Well because I recently had a chance to sit down and discuss a wide variety of topics with a pansexual person. For those of you who don't know, pansexuals are open to all genders, not just male or female. Oh yes. Don't worry, I ask the question that's on your mind.

I'd like to introduce you to "Ultimate Ice", a 28 year old female pansexual living in a bleak corner of the country. She generally doesn't care to speak to people, so this is a rare treat. This interview was conducted May 16, 2010 and will be posted in three parts. After the customary pleasantries we jumped right into things. First up, an overview of pansexuality. This was the longest and most in depth portion of our interview.

Governor X: Is there a large pansexual community?

Ultimate Ice: Not as large as the gay community, but yeah.

Are any of your friends pansexual?

Naw. I have a lesbian friend and a couple of quasi-bi-sexual friends.

Quasi-bisexual? Meaning you feel they aren't being totally honest with themselves?

Yes, exactly. We flirt with each other and it's pretty much a mutual agreement we would do some hanky panky, but they don't label themselves as bi-sexual.

Could you give us a bit on what the difference between a pansexual and a bisexual is?

Well, there's more than just "male" and "female." Pansexuals are open to all genders.

More genders?

Sure. Hermaphrodites, for one. There's also transgendered people, which is something more mental than physical.

While we're on the subject of bisexuality, as you may know there is somewhat of a rift between the gay and bisexual communities - as a pansexual, how do you fit into this if at all?

I don't, really. I've never lived in areas with a lot of gay or bisexual people, so I'm not really in that loop. I've heard of plenty of my lesbian friend's experiences with bisexuals, though.

And how have those experiences been?

Not exactly good. The bisexuals she's met don't seem to be honest with themselves, either.

OK. Do you feel discriminated against as a pansexual?

Not really. I'm pretty open about it and everyone who knows is cool with it. They don't treat me any differently.

So you don't really feel any pressure to conform from any of the other sexual groups?

Nah. Of course, I'm not around many people from those communities, with being anti-social and all. But as it stands now, no.

Do pansexuals tend to more often be male or female?

I think I've come across more females than males. Actually, I can't recall having met a male pansexual.

Interesting. Do you feel that is because of biological or social reasons?

Maybe both? Who knows. A lot of people aren't even aware of pansexuality. Which is the point of this interview. But I can't count how many times I've had to explain it to someone who had no clue. Pansexuality is still relatively new in that regard.

True. The gay community is very politically active, fighting for equal marriage rights and so forth. Is the pansexual community active in a similar way?

Definitely. I know I am.

Do you see any problem with putting a label on your sexuality considering it is to some degree defined in rejecting gender labels?

I don't like labels in general. "Pansexual" works for me since it's so broad. But I think they're just petty and unnecessary most, if not all, of the time.

Does pansexuality include polyamory or do dedicated monogamous relationships have their place in a pansexual's life?

Polyamory is sort of its own thing. That can apply to anyone, regardless of their orientation. Whether you want one partner or several isn't necessarily dictated by your orientation.

That's true enough, but the question about monogamy is valid though yes? If you are attracted to all sexes, does monogamy still have its place, or would there be something lacking?

It has its place, certainly. A pansexual may be attracted to all sexes, but that doesn't mean they're guaranteed to love more than one person.

In conducting research for this interview, I noticed there are pansexuals and polysexuals. The definitions didn't seem to offer much difference. Do you consider polysexuality any different from pansexuality?

Right, it's not much different in definition. I guess if you're attracted to men, women and transgendered people, but not hermaphrodites, for example, then it works. But that's just kind of silly. They're different, but not by much.

Does the actual physical act of sex differ for a pansexual person in any way?

No, it doesn't.

So pansexuality does not, as one of our writers believes, encompass all techniques as well?

Well, in general we find anything acceptable. That doesn't mean all pansexuals practice everything.

I recently became aware of a Swedish woman who married the Berlin Wall in the early 80's. Would you consider her a pansexual?

I'd consider her crazy - lol - That would be something else entirely. Sexual orientations like bi, pan, etc., apply to consentual human beings, not inanimate objects.

So this would also rule out animals?

Yes. Animals cannot give consent.

**************************

Wednesday, in part two, we will discuss her own personal experience as a pansexual. In part three, we will lighten the mood significantly and deal with some of the more absurd questions our staff came up with.

These ladies have a surprise for you...
