Pansexuality is where someone is sexually attracted to people regardless of gender. They could be attracted to someone who identifies as male, female, genderfluid, agender, etc. Polysexuality is an attraction to multiple genders, but not necessarily all genders. Bisexuality is an attraction to two genders, as the prefix "bi" would suggest. Bisexuality is normally used in regards to attraction to males and females, but some people use it as a synonym to pansexual.

While bisexuality is defined as being attracted to both men and women, and pansexuality is defined as being attracted to all genders (including non-binary ones), polysexuality is defined as being attracted to more than one gender and/or form of gender expression, but not all.

Bisexual: both hetero and homo sexual feelings towards other people, so whether people of their own sex or people of their opposite sex. Polysexual: liking many, but not necessarily all people. Pansexual: finding everyone, regardless of gender attractive and having possible sexual feelings towards them.

These are all identities that individuals to describe their sexual orientation or behaviour, depending on how they see it. Bisexuality indicates that the individual feels attraction to men and women (though it doesn't necessarily mean the attraction is 50 / 50. That's up to the individual). Polysexuality indicates that the individual may have multiple sexual relationships at the same time, without out any betrayal or cheating. Pansexuality indicates that the individual is attracted to all genders (without the binary of men / women). Often all fall under the umbrella of "queer" - if that's how the individual likes it, that is.
