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]
