Polysexuality is a sexual identity in which people are not confined to binary identity, man/woman. A polysexual person forms relationships with many genders. It is different from polyamory or pansexuality. The only difference is that a polysexual person will be attracted to various genders but not all. The broader term for multiple sexual identities is pansexual, wherein people are attracted to people regardless of gender. While pansexuality covers all genders, polyamory covers non-monogamous relationships, and polysexuality entails many but not all genders.
