Story and Usage Notes
Polysexual individuals are attracted to multiple genders, but not necessarily all genders. This distinguishes polysexuality from pansexuality, where attraction is not limited by gender at all. Polysexual people may be attracted to specific genders and have preferences that vary. The polysexual identity highlights the diversity and complexity of sexual attraction, acknowledging that attraction can be broad but still have specific preferences. Recogniing and respecting polysexual identities helps to promote a more inclusive understanding of sexual orientation.
