The plural form of ambisexuality; multiple expressions or instances of sexual attraction to or characteristics of more than one gender.
Plural of 'ambisexuality,' derived from 'ambi-' (both) + 'sexuality.' The plural recognizes that sexual orientation and identity can be complex and multifaceted.
Using the plural form 'ambisexualities' instead of singular acknowledges that people's experiences with attraction aren't one-size-fits-all—it's a genuinely thoughtful linguistic choice.
Plural form inherits pathologizing history from medicalized discourse around sexual orientation. The term emerged when sexology treated diverse attractions as diagnostic categories rather than valid identities.
When discussing multiple people's attractions, use pluralized identity terms they choose themselves (e.g., 'their sexualities'). Avoid clinical framing that emphasizes multiplicity as exceptional or requiring categorization.
["their sexualities","sexual orientations","attractions"]
Bisexual communities have resisted medical models of sexuality. Affirm that diversity of attraction is natural and normal, not a clinical phenomenon warranting specialized terminology.
