attraction that does not include inscribed gender (gay, lesbian, bisexual); similar to pansexual; and/or polygamy or non-monogamy
I'm dating a few people right now besides him. My gender isn't static, so I don't talk about my sexual orientation as bisexual, especially since I'm not monogamous either. So that's why I say I'm polysexual.

Get the polysexual mug.A term that refers to somebody who is sexually attracted to more than one gender.
This term is scientifically dubious at best, considering the fact that 'gender' is defined as the sexual identity a person has chosen to assume, but a sexual identity cannot create a sexual attraction. According to biology, human beings become attracted to each other as a result of their hormonal interaction. Obviously, concepts like 'gender roles' or 'gender' are not hormonal.
In a purely biological context, which is the only context in which sexual attraction exists, polysexual is just another term for somebody who is bisexual (able to be attracted to men as well as women), regardless of the societal role those men and women take.
