polysensual

Sensual attraction - having a desire to engage in sensual acts with a certain individual (kissing, cuddling, hugging, hand holding, etc). It's the desire to interact with others in a tactile, non-sexual way, such as through hugging or cuddling.
Different than sexual or romantic attraction in that you're not doing anything sexual or romantic, you're just being physically close to the person.

So a POLYSENSUAL is someone who is sensually attracted to many, but not all types of people (different from pansensual, someone is is sensually attracted to all types of people regardless of sex or gender). This does not mean that you're sensually attracted to every person you meet. Polysensuals (or pansensuals or bisensuals) have standards, like anyone else.
I'm a polysensual, so I'm sensually attracted to many different types of people (but not everyone), like cis men or agender people or genderfluid people, etc. Bascically, I could cuddle with many different types of people (that I'm sensually attracted to).

polysensual

Not to be confused with polygamy, polysensuals are very similar to polysexuals. Having a -sensual orientation can mean many different things, like you can like everything leading up to sex and all the hype, touching, any kinks without sex, kissing, etc. So to be polysensual, you take the sex out of polysexual.
(But remember, sexual/sensual/romantic orientations can be remade to fit you, you don't have to change yourself in order to fit into a label) :)
"Hey did you hear about Janice? I hear she's been digging a bit and found out that she's polysensual, not polysexual! Pretty cool, huh?"

Polysexual 

The attraction to multiple genders. Bisexuality and pansexuality are forms of polysexuality. Polysexuality generally rejects the idea of a gender binary, the idea that there are only two genders (male and female), rather than a spectrum of genders.
