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 plurisexual people 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.
