Great question! Bisexuality is most commonly defined as being attracted to two different genders (traditionally males and females but this isn't always the case. Polysexuality typically means you are attracted to many or all genders, and pansexuality is when someones genitals, sexuality and gender expression don't matter or to someone- primarily those of us (like me!) who are pansexual care mostly about someones personality.

Pansexuality is when someone is attracted to anyone regardless of gender, Bisexuality is the attraction of typically only male and female people. Polysexuality is when a person doesn't mind being in a relationship with more than one person, at once.

'Pan' literally means 'all' and pansexual usually refers to someone who is attracted to all genders and wishes to identify that this includes those not included by simply male/female categorisation, similarly polysexuality wishes to identify attraction to genders outside this typical categorisation but may not be attracted to all genders ('poly' means 'many'). Bisexuality simply refers to both heterosexual and homosexual attractions, so bisexuals are attracted to their own and opposite genders.

Pansexuality means that you are attracted to all genders, such as bigender, male, female, genderqueer and so on, whilst bigender means that you are only attracted to two genders (they don't have to be male and female). Polysexuality is almost like pansexuality, but you are not attracted to all genders, only a few or many.

Pansexuality is where you love the person for themselves, and don't really care about the body. Bisexuality is where you are sexually attracted to both men and women. As far as I know, polysexuality and pansexuality are the same thing.

Pansexual is when you're sexually attracted to all genders, polysexual is when you're sexually attracted to some but not all genders (more than two) and bisexual is when you're sexually attracted to two genders usually male and female.
