    What are people’s opinion on the downlow thing, otherwise straight men that just have furtive sex with other men, but never a relationship? Denial? Indiscriminate horniness?

          “heteroromantic bisexual” can also refer to someone who is sexually attracted to any gender (male, female, non-binary, agender, genderqueer)

          Wouldn’t that be “heteroromantic pansexual” then?

            depends on whether you’re using the MOGAI definition of bisexual as “attracted to exactly two genders” or the LGBT definition as “attracted to more than one gender”

            in practice there really isn’t much distinction, i don’t know a single person who identifies as bisexual and wouldn’t consider fucking a non-binary person, and the main distinguishing factor between people who label themselves bisexual and those that label themselves pansexual seems to be “was this person active on tumblr or other online communities with a similar vibe at any point between 2014-ish and now”.
