completely off the wall

when listing possible sexualities, the list is generally: asexual, bisexual, homosexual, heterosexual. I'm positive I'm missing one or two. Am I? Anyone know?

Well, if you consider that many people don't identify as strictly male or female--embracing androgyny, embracing genderqueerness, and so forth--"bi"sexuality is a bit limiting. Hence the pansexual or omnisexual labels. "Pan" and "omni" imply that there is a spectrum of gender identities, rather than a dichotomy.

Er. Does that help?

That's pretty much what I was going to say. In my understanding, it's the difference between "I'm attracted to men and women" and "I'm attracted to people regardless of gender."
