Pansexuality is the sexual attraction to people of all genders. Many describe themselves as "falling in love with a person, not a gender". Bisexuality is similar, but it is characterised as the sexual attraction to two genders (usually the person in question's own gender and one other one). Bisexuality and Pansexuality are both forms of Polysexuality, which is the sexual attraction to more than one gender.

pansexuality is the attraction to someone regardless of gender, including trans, non-binary, agender, etc. bisexuality, however, is the attraction to two different genders, usually female and male but really depends on the person. pansexuality and bisexuality are forms of polysexuality, which means attracted to more than one gender. But really, labels shouldn't matter and you should love who you love. labels only set boundaries.

The term bisexual comes to us from the social sciences and describes a person with both homosexual (lit. same sex) and heterosexual (lit. different sex) attractions. It is an open and inclusive term for many kinds of people with same-sex and different-sex attractions. Terms like pansexual, polysexual, omnisexual, and ambisexual also describe a person with homosexual and heterosexual attractions, and therefore people with those labels are also bisexual. By replacing the prefix bi – (two, both) with pan- (all), poly- (many), omni- (all), ambi- (both, and implying ambiguity in this case), people who adopt these labels seek to clearly express the fact that gender does not factor into their own sexuality. This does not mean, however, that people who identify as bisexual are fixated on gender.

Most simple explanation I can think of: Pansexual is capable of having universal love they love who or what they want within legal boundaries regardless of societies views, polysexual is someone who is capable of loving as many people as they want at one time, and bisexual is someone who is is capable of loving the same or opposite gender as themselves. To be clear that's being in love with not just the sexual part of it.

Pansexuals can feel sexual attraction to any gender. For example, Keisha can feel sexual attraction to any gender, she doesn't have a preference. Polysexuals can feel sexual attraction to many, or most genders. For example, Jamie can feel sexual attraction to men, women, and agender people. Bisexuals can feel sexual attraction to 2 or more genders. For example, Claire can feel sexual attraction to non binary people and men.

Valid question! Pansexuality is sexual attraction to people of any gender, polysexuality is attraction to multiple but not all genders, and bisexuality is attraction to two genders. ^^
