Bisexual, pansexual or polysexual are not just identity labels, these are also a sexual orientation and can also describe set of behaviors. By replacing the prefix bi – (two, both) with pan- (all), poly- (many) people who adopt these self-identities seek to clearly express the fact that gender does not factor into their own sexuality, or that they are specifically attracted to trans, gender-queer, and other people who may or may not fit into the mainstream gender categories of male and female. This does not mean, however, that people who identify as bisexual are fixated on traditional notions of gender.

Bisexuals are attracted to only men or women. Polysexuality is the same as pansexuality. Pansexuality/polysexuality is the attraction to men, women, transgender men and women, agender people, and genderfluid people.

Pansexuality is the sexual attraction to people despite their gender and/or sex. Polysexuality includes any sexuality that involves liking more than one gender and/or sex. Bisexuality is the sexual attraction to two genders and/or sexes (usually cis-males and cis-females).

A pansexual person does not care about genderlabels. A polysexual person wants a relationship with multiple partners. A bisexual person likes both men and women.

Pansexual - People who are attracted to other people regardless of gender. A pansexual person can feel attracted to someone regardless of where they fall on the gender spectrum.
Polysexual - someone who is attracted to some but not all genders. For example a polysexual person might be attracted to females and non-binary feminine people but not to masculine or androgynous people.
Bisexual - Someone who is attracted to both males and females.

allow me to compare this to a scene in a party. in a party, there are all types of people, yes? but we'll single out three: the bisexual, the pansexual and the polysexual.
the bisexual hangs around with the boys and the girls because bisexual is interested with them. now, pansexual, he hangs around everybody because he's interested with all of them. he's interested with that girl in a miniskirt, that guy with the tie on his head or those two that usually makes out in the kitchen. heck, he's even interested with bisexual and polysexual! However, polysexual... well,he's a little choosy... i mean, he's friends with everyone and he knows he can be interested to them all like pansexual but, he's a little choosy unlike pansexual... he's got his types...
i hope that helps.

Pan sexuality refers to being attracted to all genders, while bisexuality is being attracted to your own gender and other genders, and poly sexuality is being attracted to some genders but not all.
