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?

hi, i've identified as pansexual for a long time but i feel like somethings changing. i no longer feel sexually attracted to men, just romantically attracted. i'm still romantically attracted to all genders (panromantic), but i'm very confused on my sexuality. i'm sexually attracted to all genders except one, but i have a preference. could anyone help??

Are you an undergraduate student who is attracted to multiple genders (e.g., bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual)? Are you currently online dating? If this sounds like you, I would like to hear from you! I am a doctoral candidate in Higher Education at Indiana University and I am conducting a digital ethnographic study on LGBTQ+ undergraduate students’ online dating (Approved IRB#23872, Indiana University-Bloomington) to better understand their experiences on campus.

For this study, I am seeking bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, and other multi-gender attracted undergraduate students who are:

• At least 18 years old
• Currently dating online (dating apps and/or social media platforms)

Activities for this study include (1) six biweekly journaling exercises focused on your online dating experiences over 12 weeks and (2) observations of your online dating/social media profiles. You will be compensated $5 for each journaling exercise completed, as well as receive $15 for observations of your social media and/or online dating profiles.

To indicate your interest in participating, please fill out this Interest Form.  Those who have completed this form and are selected to participate in the study will be contacted in October. If you have questions or concerns about participating in the study, please contact Olivia Copeland at ocopelan@iu.edu.

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

I am looking for resources of any kind blogs, books, video, podcasts, audiobooks, articles just anything which explains bi-cycling or sexual fluidity whatever you want to call it. How to deal with it, why it happens, if there's measures that can be taken to slow it down just anything and everything looking for detailed information of any kind to help navigate my own bi-cycling which at current im finding very difficult to navigate.

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.

I’m a new polysexual, I’ve been debating my sexuality and landed here so yeah hiiiiiii

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

Anyone wants to chat?

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.

Aska a question, it must start with "have you ever"......

Comment and answer the question.

OMG PROVINCETOWN, MA WAS SO FUN !!!!

(Mods please delete if surveys not allowed, was not in the rules, but don't want to be rude or disrespectful)

Hello lovely humans!

As part of completing our Psychology Honours Dissertation at Charles Sturt University (Australia), we are conducting a research project looking at what protects against depression among sexual minority adults (CSU Human Research Ethics approved). We are supervised by Professor Suzanne McLaren (published academic in this
field, Orchid profile here https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4121-2320).

If you identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ and are 18 years or over, please consider participating in our
online survey. It’s anonymous and confidential, and shouldn’t take longer than 15 minutes.

If you would like to participate, read a brief summary of our project, see our contact details etc, we'd love that https://csufobjbs.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cA4WRhcRo9B7hvE

Thank you so much for reading. And hey, even if you don't feel like participating, feel free to have a chat here about what you think might protect against depression? Cheers!

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.

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.

As a man who thought he could never be anything but straight

Ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn’t fall in love with?

Thanks for sharing your stories with me. The above link is to a song I unknowingly attached myself to. I’m not sure the artist intended to mean this for experiences like mine, but their words are true to my heart.

For a while I considered myself Demiomni, but it looks like I might not be attracted to all genders as I thought I did. I looked up Xenogenders and there was like multiple of them so i tested my attraction on each one coz im a bit ocd lol. and while all of them are valid and important, I don't think I'm attracted to some xenogenders. i'm also not attracted to bears (not talking about the animal) but that's something else.

Anyways any fellow Demiply's in the chat?

I am polysexual and I don’t know how to come out. I have really “every sexuality phobic” friends so I don’t know how to come out. Can somebody please help me

This has nothing about me being Polysexual Or Polysexual people i need advice

I have newly started to accept myself as a poly/bisexual married guy but the problem is that my arousal and erections diminish so quickly and I lose my erection before its even completely hard when watching gay/straight/trans porn doesnt matter and when being intimate with my wife.

I dont know if I feel that now there are so much different things which I have accepted that I find sexually attracted to nothing can keep me aroused for long am I bi-cycling or changing again to another part of the lgbtq umbrella?

I wish this wasn't so difficult and I could find what I like whatever it may be and it stayed that way its becoming more and more difficult to keep it hidden. I'm on the verge of coming out to my wife not because I want to but because I feel I need to for her sake so she doesn't feel that I am no longer attracted to her.

I hate this situation why can it not be simple. I have started to look into counselling sessions from a LGBTQ sexual therapist see if I can make sense of what is going on and where I go from here? I can't think of anything else I can do?

Any thoughts?

Is there any fictional canon pollysexual characters, I'm making a post on another site and I can't fund anything on google

so im afab (gender apathetic) and im definitely attracted to more than two genders but not all. the thing is ive only had crushes on guys and only one girl but i still find women and others attractive. am i still poly?
