Each of these labels try to help a person communicate to others something about their sexual preference or identity. Pansexuals tend to be attracted to specific individuals regardless of their gender/biological sex. Bisexuals tend to be attracted to either males or females but implicitly maybe not transgendered people. Polysexual or polyamorous people tend to avoid strictly 1-on-1 sexual monogamous relationship configurations and may have multiple partners in both sex and love. Remember, labels are there to help you express yourself, not to define yourself in a strict box!

Pansexuality is being attracted to everyone and anyone, regardless of any limiting factor. Bisexuality is being attracted to both males and females, regardless of your gender. Polysexuality is being attracted to more than one gender group, but not all.
