The appropriate prefix for all would be omni- . This omniscient means all-knowing. However, omnigamy would be too much for anybody - it would presume mean a relationship with all 6 billion people in the world - or perhaps 2 billion adults of the appropriate sex.

In the instance of relationships, you'd use the word pantagomy - "a form of marriage in which every woman in a community is married to every man and every man is married to every woman"
But there is no prefix which means all or every that can be applied to other words.

Promiscuous = "consisting of a disorderly mixture of people or things," from L. promiscuus "mixed, indiscriminate," from pro- "forward" + miscere "to mix" (see mix). Meaning "indiscriminate in sexual relations" first recorded 1900, from promiscuity (1849, "indiscriminate mixture;" sexual sense 1865).
From that I'd guess that if you mean indiscriminate, then misceo, miscere or miscui

I also found omni to be very close, but I feel there is a better word. Maybe one doesn't exist. Thanks.

And here in New England, "appropriate sex" could cover a LOT of ground. Or ... well, you name the body part.
