Important to bear in mind is that promiscuous behavior ≠ pan- or bisexuality. Hook's flirting, while certainly flamboyant, does not automatically mean he isn't heterosexual—and considering that said flirting is aimed entirely at women? My guess is he's heterosexual and either just enjoys flirting without intent or has a high libido.

Which of course doesn't preclude him being heterosexual and bi- or panromantic, of course, or closeted and stepping up the flirting with women specifically as a means to maintain the closet, or being bi/pan but not feeling the need to flirt with both genders or any number of things.

But just the fact that he's an outrages flirt does not, by any means, suggest pan/bisexuality by itself. Uberpromiscuous bi and pansexuals is a terrible, terrible stereotype that needs to be eradicated.
