Miley Cyrus Identifies As Pansexual. What Does That Mean, Exactly? Korin Miller Writer Yahoo Health August 28, 2015 (Photo: Getty Images) Miley Cyrus has been very vocal about her sexuality in recent months, and now she has a new revelation: She identifies as pansexual. The 22-year-old singer-actress spoke about her sexuality in the October issue of Elle UK, telling the magazine, “I’m very open about it — I’m pansexual. But I’m not in a relationship. I’m 22, I’m going on dates, but I change my style every two weeks, let alone who I’m with.” Cyrus spoke about identifying as gender fluid and her open view of sexuality last month in Paper magazine. “I am literally open to every single thing that is consenting and doesn’t involve an animal and everyone is of age,” she said. “Everything that’s legal, I’m down with. Yo, I’m down with any adult — anyone over the age of 18 who is down to love me. I don’t relate to being boy or girl, and I don’t have to have my partner relate to boy or girl.” But pansexuality is not as commonly known of a sexual orientation than, say, bisexuality. What differentiates the two? Pansexuality “generally means that somebody is open to either falling in love and or being sexually attracted to people of all genders,” sex researcher Debby Herbenick, PhD, associate director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University, tells Yahoo Health.

Pansexuals, on the other hand, are open to the idea of being drawn to people who are gender-queer or transgender, as well as those who identify as male or female. “It just widens the scope,” explains Herbenick. Increased awareness of pansexuality can likely be attributed to the millennials, Jean Twenge, PhD, a millennial researcher, professor of psychology at San Diego State University, and author of Generation Me, tells Yahoo Health. It seems to be linked to the generation’s desire for individualism.

If we’re not going to have strict gender categories, then we’re not going to have strict sexual categories either.” Experts say the term “pansexual” is relatively new and fairly unknown outside of sexuality research circles. But Herbenick points out that people have always been pansexual — they just didn’t know how to label it. She estimates that less than 1 or 2 percent of the general population identifies as pansexual, but she expects that number will increase over time. “We’ve seen that to be the case with female bisexuality,” Herbenick says. “Decades ago, far more women identified as ‘lesbian’ and less of ‘bisexual.’ Now we see very few women — 1 to 2 percent — identify as lesbian, but up to 7 percent of women identify as bisexual.” Read This Next: What People Get Wrong About Being Transgender Poster Comment: She sure is pretty.

If it means what I think it means, you don't want her cooking you a meal with her T- Fal.
And here I thought that pansexual meant attracted to mythological satyrs. She can blow my pan flute. John Howard says: There are 4 schools of economics: Democrats don't mind war as long as they can have big government. Republicans don't mind big government as long as they can have war. I was already thoroughly disgusted with how wide it was.
I think that it means she is a total skank. But who knows these days? “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
I don't find her attractive at all. Her slutty behavior, her trash mouth pseudo rap voice, complete lack of any scruples, her narcissistic and self-absorbed demeanor is a complete turn off. But what do I know? I'm pushing 60. During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
See? You've just panned her, and rightly so -- mystery solved :-)
But who knows these days? I guess in the "anything goes" society we live in, it is considered "edgy". During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
Pansexual = she'll fuck anything that's legal.

They used to be called sluts, but the PC police say the word "slut" is offensive to sluts.

She looks like a 13 year-old boy with makeup on. I agree, she's a skank whore. I don't find her attractive at all.

Exactly. "Edginess" is rated as a top virtue nowadays, meaning it pushes or smashes the boundaries of what's accepted. New religions for the pitifully deracinated: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stra ight_edge What edge? People are still asking: I guess in the "anything goes" society we live in, it is considered "edgy".

I am there already. But, different strokes for different folks. ;) I'm pushing 60.
