Poly, Pan, Bi or Omni?

So I've been struggling to figure myself out for a little while and I'm stuck between polysexual, pansexual, bisexual or omnisexual, so I thought I'd just write my experiences of attraction down and just see what you guys think. Also btw I previously thought I was lesbian but then realised it was a bit broader than that. I (female) am definitely sexually and romantically attracted to women Also sexually and probably romantically attracted to binary/genderqueer people I think I'm sexually attracted to men, but more rarely, and very rarely am I romantically attracted to men. Idk, but what do you think? I'm personally leaning towards poly, but I'm just not sure, also if you have any other suggestions it would be much appreciated.

Looking for validation, and name for this, or something

I'm cis male. I'm pretty sure I'm heteroromantic. Sexually I'm interested in certain activities with other guys, but I can think of a bare handful of guys I'm actuality actually attracted to or interested in.

I'm polyamorous and my partner (cis female) has two other cis male partners. We've each played together like the two of us guys playing with my partner jointly, but haven't had the guys interact directly. I'm open to that possibility, although I'm not attracted or directly interested in either of them. I just like the idea of it, the activity, but I'm not attracted to either of them directly.

Is this a thing? What is it? Why am I attracted to and interested in the idea of playing with other guys even though there's almost, if entirely, none I'm actually attracted to? Like I'm so into the idea of playing with another guy's genitals, super excited by that, but I don't find another guy attractive. That seems so paradoxical. I don't know what the deal is or why I feel this way. I'd love to know if it's normal or there's a name for it or just something to understand it better.

Am I poly or am I just lesbian?

I have been using the label Polysexual for a bit but my mates keep saying that I’m just a lesbian so I wanted to see the opinions of people on Reddit because why not

I identify as Agender (meaning I don’t have a gender) and was born female I have had experiences with only one guy I had genuine sexual and romantic feelings for we had a very back and forth relationship we would break up but always come back together he was also very feminine which made me more attracted to him and also feel more comfortable and safe with him but other then that all of my exs and crush’s have all been girls or non binary and where all feminine in their traits and appearance Except from one ex gf and one trans bf that were both masculine and wanted to become a thing I wasn’t very attracted to either of them and felt uncomfortable especially with the ex gf I had she was very aggressive towards me

What do you guys think this says about me? I don’t really know what it is I just don’t feel attracted to or safe with masculine ppl especially men 😭 And I don’t tend to find men attractive in like a I wanna date you way so yeah

I can’t understand

I always found straight and queer so interesting. I think it’s because I can’t imagine only liking one gender forever. I try to consider how it would feel but I have no idea. I just can’t understand it. Am I the only one?

Questioning my sexuality for the millionth time (Omni vs Ply):

how do I know what genders I'm not attracted to. There's too many to list and I'm so OCD about my level of attraction. and what is considered not a gender because there are things I am not attracted to (body hair even my own, tattoos, piercings, heck even people with less developed bodily features that they themselves cannot control but is still PERFECTLY VALID). i know there are folks that suggest don't worry about the labels but I want to feel happy with who I identify which is why I feel more in relation to the mspec identities than the plain umbrella term. so please offer me ideas ty <3

To the person having some relationship issues the other day

I think they deleted their post about some issues they were having. I won’t give the details for their own privacy. But I want to share a poetry sub they could write to and express themselves without worrying about judgement or formatting or anything really. You just gotta ignore the name though lol. r/crackhousepoetry

If you need a place to vent and write, I highly recommend it. Other subs get wrapped around the axel with formatting and measure. This one is definitely more free form, and no one is looking to be impressed; so there’s no pressure to be exceedingly eloquent. Hope this helps.

Not many posts here. 😏

Saw this quiz thingy on pansexual. It's pretty accurate. I think I am more deviant than that, though

Please tell me...

What are the genders? I looked this up. The websites varied from 7 to 14 to 107 different genders. I read on these subs, as I try to learn about my new found identity, that I was all wrong about genders. I'm just confused. I'm asking in this sub because you guys just seem more friendly than others. This isn't a competion. No wrong answers. So.... What are the genders.

What does it feel like to be polysexual?

I’m questioning whether or not I’m actually polysexual, so I was just wondering what it would feel like to be a polysexual person.

Just wondering…

I identify as bisexual, and I never knew about being polysexual until I started questioning my sexuality. I still don’t really know the difference between being bi and poly. Could someone explain.
