Bisexuals are sexually attracted to both males and females. Pansexuals are sexually attracted to all genders, even nonbinary ones. Polysexuals are attracted to multiple genders and/or sexes but not necessarily all. Bisexuality and pansexuality are sub-groups of polysexuality.

All three are terms for experiencing sexual attraction to multiple genders. Bi- means two, poly- means many, pan- means all. Someone who is pansexual, then, experiences sexual attraction to all genders or regardless of gender. Someone who is polysexual experiences sexual attraction to many genders, but maybe not all of them. Someone who is bisexual experiences sexual attraction to two genders by definition, but since it's the most well-known label of these three, it's often defined as attraction to two *or more* genders. Someone whose pattern of attraction matches poly or pan can use bi and be no less accurate. It all comes down to which label feels right to the person using it.

Instead of usually writing this in sentence form, it is a bit easier to read (in my opinion) and as well type in list form. Pansexuality- Sexual attraction, romantic love, or emotional attraction toward people of any sex or gender identity. Polysexuality- The attraction to multiple genders or sexes. A Polysexual person is one "encompassing or characterized by many different kinds of sexuality." Bisexuality- Romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior toward both males and females, or romantic or sexual attraction to people of any sex or gender identity Q: ...So, what does this all mean? I'm still confused! A: Basically, each sexuality likes everyone, but to a certain extent. Pansexuality is the most broad, then polysexuality, and finally bisexuality. I hope I helped!

Pansexuality means that you are attracted to all genders (male, female, agender, demiboy, demigirl, ect.) and genitals aren't the most important thing ever, while bisexuality means you like only two genders and genitals are a little more relevant. Polysexyality is liking most genders or several genders, but not all.

Pansexuality is the ability to be attracted to any gender (male, female, genderqueer, agender, ect.). Polysexuality is the attraction to multiple genders (male and genderqueer, female and agender, ect.) but not others. Bisexuality is the attraction to male and female genders, but it is often overlapped with Pansexuality. The only real difference between bisexuality and Pansexuality is that bisexuality is more recognized and easier to identify as (it doesn't require an explanation of the gender spectrum every time it's mentioned.) For the last two, what the distinction is depends on what each person personally identifies as.

Bisexuality is being attracted to both girls and boys. Pansexuality is similar; however, it is not exclusive to only boys and girls, and pansexual people are attracted to people of all different genders too, for example transgender, genderfluid, etc. Polysexuality is being attracted to not only boys and girls, but also other genders; however, not necessarily all genders.
