Preferred term

polyamory  

Definition

  • Polyamorous relationships are openly conducted and nonmonogamous, with equal access to multiple partners for women and men. With an emphasis on long-term, emotionally intimate relationships, polyamory differs from the mainstream swingers' focus on sexual variety with multiple partners and emotional exclusivity with a sole primary partner.
