As I have written a previous definition about Pansexual and how it differs from polysexuality and bisexuality, I am now writing a definition for polysexual. This sexuality is often overlooked and misunderstood, grouped either in pansexual or bisexual. They are NOT the same thing, to be clear.
Polysexuality is the attraction to multiple genders in the gender spectrum, but not all. They are attracted to more than two, but not the complete spectrum. I want to make this point clear. They could be attracted to as little as three, or as many as the majority, but never all. I would like to make a point that it varies from poly to poly. I would also like to make a point that they aren't attracted to every person they see in these genders they choose. Another misconception that is tiring.

"Oh, so she's bisexual?"
"No, she likes more than two genders."
"How about pansexual, then?"
"No, she isn't attracted to all. She's polysexual."
"No, she likes more than two genders."
"How about pansexual, then?"
"No, she isn't attracted to all. She's polysexual."

Bisexual is an often misunderstood but recognized sexuality. As I have made a definition for pansexuality and polysexuality, I have decided to write one for bisexuality.
Often having these two mentioned sexualities grouped into it, bisexuality confuses some folks. I want to clear that up.
Bisexuality is NOT just men and women.
Bisexuality is the attraction to two of ANY genders. It varies from bi to bi!
Bisexuality has often been said it is attration to two or more. I'm afraid to say that is incorrect. It is the attraction to two. Any two. Attraction to more than two is considered polysexuality, and attraction to any gender is pansexuality.

"So is she attracted to just male and female?"
"No, she's attracted to two genders you want to insert."
"But you said she's bisexual?"
"She is."
"No, she's attracted to two genders you want to insert."
"But you said she's bisexual?"
"She is."

Pansexual IS NOT polysexual or bisexual. Those are completely separate sexualties and shall not be called the same because although they may be similar, they are not the same.
Pansexual is the attraction to someone regardless of what's below the belt (sex and gender). They will not date ANYONE, a common misconception in the community. They just do not mind what the person identifies as.
As I repeat, they do not just date ANYONE. They do not find every person they see instantly attractive. They just do not mind whatever gender their crush/infatuation identies as, or what sexual organ/organs they possess.

Isn't bisexuality the same thing as pansexuality?
No, bisexuality and pansexuality are two completely different terms.
No, bisexuality and pansexuality are two completely different terms.
