Attraction to more than one sex or gender
Plurisexuality or multisexuality is a term used to describe individuals who are
attracted to multiple
genders.
[1] This includes certain
sexual identities such as
pansexuality,
bisexuality,
omnisexuality, and
polysexuality, falling under the umbrella of non-
monosexuality, which encompasses all
sexualities that are not exclusively
heterosexual or
homosexual.
[2] It's also referred as multiple-gender attraction (MGA).
[3] Plurisexual individuals may experience
sexual attraction to people of different genders, which can include but is not limited to
men,
women,
non-binary,
genderqueer, and other
gender identities. Plurisexuality can be
fluid and may vary from person to person.
[4]
[5]
Abrosexual, for example, can be used to describe when one's experience changes in their attractions over time.
[6]
Multisexual was also used to describe
multicultural
sexual diversity,
[7] among other things.
[8]
[9]
Some plurisexuals may feel represented by the
bisexual umbrella,
[10] however not every plurisexual
identifies as bisexual.
[11]
[12] While more specific and less known plurisexual identities exist, bisexuality and pansexuality are more established and understood concepts within the
LGBT community and among the general public,
[13]
[14] but they may experience
monosexism,
erasure, and
heteronormativity.
