Polysexual people may or may not have a preference and may or may not experience a difference between genders. |

Polysexuality should not be confused with [[Polyamorous|polyamory]], the capacity to be in a relationship with multiple people at once, nor should it be confused with being [[bisexual]], [[omnisexual]] or [[pansexual]]. The difference between polysexual and being omnisexual or pansexual is that omnisexuals are attracted to all genders and pansexuals are attracted regardless of gender, while polysexuals are attracted to several genders, but not all. The difference between polysexual and bisexual usually comes down to individual preference, particularly where people may feel that different terms communicate their personal experience of attraction with more accuracy. |
