What Is Polyromantic?

Polyromantic, also spelled as poliromantic or plyromantic, refers to a romantic orientation in which people are romantically attracted to many, but not all genders. The attraction may be exclusively romantic. If it is followed by sexual attraction, then a person may also identify as polysexual.

The prefix “poly” comes from Greek meaning “many”. Polyromantic is similar to other multi-romantic attractions like panromantic, omniromantic, and biromantic. We will be discussing their differences later on.

Difference Between Polyromantic And Polysexual

Polyromantic and polysexual have the same prefix “poly” which often confuses people. Moreover, many individuals who are not familiar with the differences between romantic and sexual attraction use the terms interchangeably.

That said, one’s romantic attraction doesn’t necessarily affect their sexuality. Hence, a polyromantic person may be polysexual, or vice-versa, but that is not a rule. Someone who is polyromantic may easily be straight, gay, or anything else.

Are You Polyromantic or Panromantic?

Now that we know that polyromantic is talking exclusively about romantic orientation, let’s take a look at its closely related term, panromantic. As mentioned previously, polyromantic refers to a person who is attracted to many genders. The key word is many.

Panromantic folk feel romantic attraction to all genders. Now, that doesn’t mean they are attracted to everyone. However, they have the ability to be. On top of that, they don’t pay attention to the gender of a person they’re attracted to.

Think of it like this, if you are attracted to many genders but you prefer some and are completely pulled back by others, you might be polyromantic. On the other hand, if you have never met a person and disliked them because of their gender, there’s a good chance you are panromantic.

Are Polyromantic And Polyamorous The Same?

The short answer is no. They are two different terms used to describe separate things. Polyromantic is used by people who are attracted to many genders to describe their romantic orientation. Whereas, polyamory doesn't describe a person's romantic nor sexual orientation. Instead, it is a type of relationship.

Polyamory occurs when an individual is romantically or sexually involved with more than one person at the same time. People in those types of relationships are aware they are non-monogamous. Moreover, knowing if you are polyamorous can be difficult to decipher. Being a part of such a relationship doesn’t necessarily make you polyamorous. If you want to find out if polyamory is right for you, we have a quiz for that here.
