Omnisexuality

Omnisexuality is a sexual orientation that describes a person that is attracted to all genders, but gender usually plays a role in the person's attraction.^[1][2] It can be seen as a form of multisexuality,^[3][4] or non-monosexuality.^[5][6]

Omnisexuality can be described as being under the bisexual umbrella. It is similar to, but distinctly different from pansexuality. Omnisexuality is the attraction to all genders, but gender will play a role in that attraction.^[7]

An international survey conducted by Ipsos found that around 1% of the global population self-identify as pansexual or omnisexual, while in the United States, this proportion is estimated to be approximately 2%^[8]
