Plurisexuality Explained

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] Abrosexual, for example, can be used to describe when one's experience changes in their attractions over time.[5]

Multisexual was also used to describe multicultural sexual diversity,[6] among other things.[7] [8]

Some plurisexual people may feel represented by the bisexual umbrella,[9] however not every plurisexual identifies as bisexual.[10] [11] 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,[12] but they may experience monosexism, erasure, and heteronormativity.[13] [14]
