Multisexual Flag

A multisexual flag

Multisexual is an umbrella term that refers to anyone whose sexual orientation involves attraction to more than one gender. It can include individuals who are bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, polysexual, and more. It may also be used as a standalone identity term by some people who do not use labels.[1][2] Multisexual is the opposite of monosexual.[1] When referred to as a spectrum, it may be called the multiple-attraction spectrum or multisexual spectrum (abbreviated as m-spec).[2]

The term plurisexual is synonymous to multisexual, used by some academic journals.[3][4][5]
