History of the term
Comparisons
This sexual orientation has been compared to other forms of multisexual, such as bisexual and pansexual. Bisexual, traditionally, is defined as to be attracted to two genders, usually men and women. Pansexual means the sexual attraction to all genders.[11] This different from polysexuality due to polysexual people not always be attracted to all genders and gender can play a factor in their sexual attraction, though not always.[8][9] Polysexuality is sometimes confused with polyamory, which is the practice of dating multiple people. This differs from polyamory as polysexuality is a sexual orientation while polyamory is a relationship style.[8]
Flag
The polysexual flag uses pink for attraction to women, green for attraction to non-binary people, and blue for attraction to men.[8]
