Pansexuality is sexual or romantic attraction to two sexes (male or female). Bisexuality is often confused with Pansexuality and is romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior toward both males and females, or romantic or sexual attraction to people of any sex or gender. Polysexuality is the attraction to multiple genders. Hope this helps!

Bisexuality is being attracted to a man or women by gender. Pansexuality is being attracted to all gender despite gender or sexuality. Polysexuality is similar to pansexuality but is limited to a few of your choosing like only choosing men with women sex organs.

Pansexuality is the sexual attraction to every gender, including non-binary people. Bisexuality is sexual attraction to two genders, typically the two binary genders, but sometimes people identify as bisexual and are attracted to, for example, girls and non-binary people, and not boys. Polysexuality is attraction to two or more genders. That means you could be attracted to boys, girls, and non-binary folk.

Bisexuality means you like two genders: guys and girls. Pansexual is liking anybody, looks don't matter very much, it's all personality here. :) Polysexuality is liking more than one gender: a transsexual, a guy, a lesbian.

The prefix is key to knowing the answer. pan means all, bi means both or two, and poly means some but not all. pansexuals like all genders, bisexuals prefer just men and women, and polysexuals can like some genders but not all genders (ex, men and genderfuid people but not women)

As far as I know, nothing. Pansexuality started as an off set to bisexuality as a way to include trans people. But we are already included under gay, straight, and bi... And non-binary people are still included under bisexual. I believe polysexuality started as a way to express preferences within this concept, but it's still largely like bisexuality.

Bisexuality is an attraction to both genders. "Bi" meaning that only two genders are noted. Pansexuality means you don't look at genders but more to who the person is personality wise. This recognises all genders. Poly sexual is similar in that it is an attraction to all genders (so it is more gender identity based)

There is a difference between Pansexuality, Bisexuality, and Polysexuality. A person that is pan is attracted to people no matter their gender. That includes if they are non-binary. If a person is bi they are attracted to two genders. Male and female that does not include non-binary like a person who is pan would. Finally polysexual is a person having a relationship with more than one person at a time and it is not considered cheating.

Pansexuality is the ability to be attracted to more than two genders. It could be male female non binary or trans people as well. Bisexuality is the attraction to two genders only. It can be any two genders but only two. Polysexuality is the ability to be attracted to more than one person at a time and be in a relationship with more than one person. This doesn't mean cheating but by being in a three or more way relationahip where everyone else is poly too.
