Promiscuity is not sexuality, its sexual appetite.
A person's sexual appetite is part of their sexuality.
A person's sexual appetite is sometimes considered part of their sexual orientation depending on how you categorize asexuality.
One can be promiscuous and Straight, one can be promiscuous and gay.
Honestly I know 3 pan people, and 1 Bi. 1 is very uncomfortable in any situation, 2 are on their second er...coupling with each other in a relationship. And the Bisexual is my gf and we are each others firsts.
Bisexual does not mean you have sex a lot. It does Not mean you find beauty in all its forms. It means you are capable of think 2 or more genders are hot.
And that's all a person's sexuality.
That's fair enough. It's part of why I am inquiring about it, because I have read up on the idea of biological and environmental factors influencing sexuality. The idea of the fluidity of one's orientation and so forth, and what may (or may not) influence those things.
It may be, but I don't think it ought to be a consequence of his lifestyle though, so when assessing things such as the believability of a character I was hoping on examining the notions of "This person is believable because of X," rather than "This person is believable, and happens to have X."
For what it's worth, Inquisitor Julianos, I'd be lying if I said that I couldn't relate first hand to your perspective. It's something that I don't really believe so much anymore, but I had some people poke me and make me go "must this be the way things are" on a variety of topics, including sexuality.
Thank you for the reply. I appreciate it, but I don't want to continue to sidetrack the thread.
