Multisexual is the term to describe when one feels sexual attraction to more than one gender.[1] It is synonymous with Pluralian, and M-Spec (multisexual spectrum).[2]
It can be used as an umbrella term for Bisexual, Pansexual, Polysexual, Omnisexual, and others, or as a standalone term.[3]
Some people who have adopted the term use it as a means to say “different things affect my attraction towards different sexes and genders, so instead of trying to vocalize all these factors and make a complicated definition, I’m just using multisexual as opposed to bisexual or polysexual”.
The opposite of multisexual is Monosexual.

Pluralian[]
Pluralian, is an umbrella term for individuals who are attracted to multiple genders. It is similar to the terms Achillean, Sapphic, and Diamoric.
The term can also be used as to describe the community of people who are attracted to more than one gender (the “mspec” community) and as an adjective to describe the attraction someone who is attracted to multiple genders feels towards anyone of any gender; similar to “gay,” “straight,” or “diamoric”.[6]
The term was coined by pluralian-positivity mod Kulinda, sometimes credited as dinolover453 on Tumblr on October 06, 2016. The flag was designed to resemble the Achillean and Sapphic flags.[7]
An alternative Pluralian flag was created by an unknown user and posted by Deviantart user pride-flags on February 14th, 2021.[8] It shares the same colors, and possibly meanings, as the original Pluralian flag.
