Parosexual is a term to describe one who is attracted to multiple genders and experiences different forms of sexual attraction to the different genders one is attracted to.[1][2] For example, one is allosexual towards people with male genders or other genders, yet is greysexual towards people with female genders. This term is both m-spec and a-spec, and could be considered a type of myrsexual attraction.

This could be considered an umbrella term for identities such as dellosexual (when one experiences allosexual attraction to some genders, yet is demisexual attraction to other genders).
Paro- differs from varioriented, as varioriented defines one having different orientations for different types of attraction (e.g., omniromantic heterosexual), while paro- referring to one having different forms of a single type of attraction (e.g., different forms of sexual attraction) towards the different genders one is attracted to.

The romantic counterpart to the term is paroromantic.
