 Omnisexuality is often compared to other [[multisexual]] identities. In particular, it is similar to [[pansexual]] as they both involve the attraction to all genders. Pansexual and omnisexual are sometimes used interchangeably. Some people may identify as both, however one can make a distinction between them if they wished.
-The most commonly cited difference is that omnisexuals typically feel a difference between genders. This can manifest in having a preference for certain gender(s). It can also manifest as feeling like the act of being attracted to a certain gender feels different than the act of being attracted to other genders. (For example, they may feel like the act of being attracted to a woman feels different then being attracted to a man.) Omnisexuals may also find certain traits only attractive on certain genders.

Omnisexuals may find also be attracted to different qualities for different genders, or find certain traits more attractive for particular genders but not for others.
 On the other hand, pansexuality generally does not feel any internal difference between genders, or feels like any difference felt between genders is irrelevant. Although, some pansexual people may still have a gender preference, this is typically not caused by an internal difference felt in attraction, or is so minor that one feels it is irrelevant. However, the exact differences between pansexual and omnisexual are not strict and the choice to identify as one over the other may sometimes come down to personal preference.
 === Bisexuality ===
-Omnisexuality is also often compared to [[Bisexual|bisexuality]]. ''Some'' bisexuals are attracted to all genders, however not all bisexuals are. Some people may identify as both bisexual and omnisexual, while others may prefer one over the other. The choice to use one identity over the other usually comes down to individual preference. Some people prefer to identify as omnisexual over bisexual because omnisexual is more specific, and they want to specify that they are attracted to ''all'' genders.
+Omnisexuality is also often compared to [[Bisexual|bisexuality]]. Some bisexuals are attracted to all genders, however not all bisexuals are. Some people may identify as both bisexual and omnisexual, while others may prefer one term over the other. The choice to use one identity over the other usually comes down to individual preference. For instance: some may prefer to identify as omnisexual (in addition to or instead of bisexual) as they feel it provides a more specific or accurate representation of their orientation.
