Pansexualism and psychoanalysis
Freud is the intellectual father of psychoanalysis, a therapeutic current in psychology and at the same time a philosophical approach to human existence.

a pansexual person
The pansexual is that person , man or woman, who lives sexuality with intensity and who normally has a sexual appetite for people of any sex or sexual orientation. In this way, the pansexual is one who does not discriminate against anyone sexually, as he feels interest in anyone. It can be said that pansexual pushes bisexuality to the limit. In bisexuality, male or female preferences are important, whereas in pansexualism the difference between male and female is irrelevant.
When someone defines themselves as pansexual, they imply three ideas:
