"Did you know that polyamory is an umbrella term? Well, it is! And it encompasses a huge array of ethically non-monogamous relationship styles. Polyamory or ethical non-monogamy (ENM) is loosely defined as the practice of being romantically involved with multiple, consenting partners. Polyamorous relationships can come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Many of them have boundaries similar to a monogamous relationship and have the same repercussions for breaking those boundaries."
"Ethical non-monogamy has absolutely nothing to do with polygamy - the practice where one person, typically a man, has multiple spouses often without consent. It is illegal in many countries, including the UK, the US and Canada. This misinterpretation between polyamory and polygamy is a huge reason why the public may continue to view polyamory negatively, viewing it as unethical, seedy, or even perverse. In reality, non-monogamous relationships focus on ethics by prioritising consent."
Polyamory is an umbrella term encompassing many ethically non-monogamous relationship styles. Polyamory or ethical non-monogamy (ENM) involves being romantically involved with multiple, consenting partners. Polyamorous relationships vary widely and may include boundaries similar to monogamous relationships, with comparable repercussions for boundary violations. Ethical non-monogamy is distinct from polygamy, which often involves non-consensual multiple spouses and is illegal in many countries. Misunderstanding between polyamory and polygamy contributes to negative public perceptions. Non-monogamous relationships prioritize ethics and consent. One common ENM form is the throuple, a non-hierarchical triad where three partners share equal emotional, physical, and sexual connections.
