Etymology: Attested since 1917 (a few years earlier than pansexual, which see for more).
Senses: examples: text: And so we are back at pansexualism. It cannot, however, be too often insisted that, though Freud heavily emphasized the element of sexuality in human nature, he utterly rejected pansexualism, which he regarded as a travesty of his theory; and on many occasions he explicitly and energetically denied the equation of all instinctual life with sexuality.
ref: 1981, Richard Wollheim, Sigmund Freud, Cambridge University Press, →ISBN, page 114:
text: [W]e are positing that theoretical pansexualism is but the reflection of a real pansexualism, that is, of a movement by which sexuality reinvests the entirety of human activities. Sexuality is not everything, but it is everywhere.

ref: 2013, Paul Halmos, Solitude and Privacy: A Study of Social Isolation, its Causes and Therapy, Routledge, →ISBN, page 9:
text: Yet Freud, one must insist, was not a pansexualist. He rejected the epithet with considerable acerbity, not because he was secretly a one-sided adulator of libido, but because, quite simply; he thought that his denigrators were wrong.
ref: 2006, Peter Gay, Freud: A Life for Our Time, W. W. Norton & Company, →ISBN, page 149:

glosses: A proponent of the psychological theory of pansexualism.
examples: text: Whitman is a pansexualist. He makes love with, among others, the sun, the night, the earth, the sea, and the winds (W 30, 49, 53). His synecdochic perception results in his genitalized identification with his environment, including the people around him. The spermatic trope works well to explain the nature of Whitman's decentered phallus. If "sex contains all," sperm describes all (W 101). It also works well to describe the nature of his pansexualist eros.
ref: 1997, Alix Aurora Casteel, "Man and wife": gender-roles and family-roles in antebellum American literature:
text: If sexual orgasm is the royal way to knowledge of God, perhaps such orgasm doesn't have to occur only with a woman. Maybe, as the gays and pansexualists claim, any kind of orgasm will qualify.
ref: 2004, James L. Garlow, Peter Jones, Cracking Da Vinci's Code, David C Cook, →ISBN, page 183:
text: Androgyny implies a recognition of the full sexual potential of each individual. Former distinctions were abandoned. It was no longer regarded as improper to pursue a relationship of male to male or female to female; nor was it required to have two partners in a relationship. Practices ranging from onanism to mass interplay were accepted. The pansexualists held that androgyny was needlessly limiting in scope. If one could relate to any man or woman—why not to a giraffe? A condor?
