[[File:Hemi-Pansexual Flag (1).png|thumb|The hemi-pansexual flag.|alt=]][[File:Hemi-Pan.png|thumb|The alternate hemi-pansexual flag.|alt=]]'''Hemi-Pansexual''', also known as '''Media-Pansexual''', is a term for those who are [[pansexual]] and may experience less [[attraction]] to one or more [[Gender|genders]] they are [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Category:Attraction attracted] to. Hemi-pansexual individuals may or may not be willing to have feelings for, or a relationship with, genders they are less attracted to, and might have visualized themselves in a relationship with individuals of that/those gender(s). However, one does not need to experience these feelings to be hemi-pansexual.

Reasons as to why someone may identity as hemi-pansexual may include fear, discomfort, or any other feeling that can cause one to feel hesitant to be in a relationship with/have feelings for said gender(s). The experience with fear and/or discomfort varies depending on the individual, and it might not be the primary reason as to why one identifies this way. Possible causes can be anything, from home environment to [[dysphoria]] or trauma; however, one can be hemi-pansexual without any of these being a reason for that. Some may identity as hemi-pansexual for labels/terms, because not everyone is comfortable with labels such as, "pan with a preference," "[[panromantic]]/[[omniromantic]]," "[[omnisexual]]," etc.

This term is inclusive and can be used as alternative to "pan with a preference” or “[[pancurious]].” It can combined with any other term if wanted by the individual.
