This may be a stupid question, but...

How do you come out to a potential partner as pan/sexually fluid and are there any prejudices I should know about? I can see a lot of problems arising if like me you aren't a stable thing. I haven't delt with this much, but I would like to know in advance.

Thanks!

I don't have any experience with this, but I think if someone's going to be upset if you came out as pan/sexually fluid, they might not be the best person to go out with.

True enough. I've just never come across (knowingly?) someone like me, irl or online, and just want to go into the world with as much information as I can get. So is there a place I can look?

Well, you're certainly welcome to ask some of us right here who have lived experience with this if you like: speaking for myself, this has been my story for the whole 30+ years of my sexual life, and I'm happy to answer questions.

Too, bear in mind that all of the sexuality and relationship advice and information we give on the site in our articles is intended for a sexually diverse readership, including with orientations, and is more often authored by someone queer (and more often an author in the pan/bi spectrum of things) than someone straight.
