1) Polyamory is the practice of, or desire for, having more than one intimate, loving, sexual and lasting relationship simultaneously with several people, with the full consent and knowledge of all the partners involved. The individual who considers himself emotionally capable of such relationships defines himself as polyamorous, sometimes abbreviated as "poly". 2) The nonpossessive, honest, responsible and ethical philosophy and practice of loving multiple people simultaneously. Polyamory emphasizes consciously choosing how many partners one wishes to be involved with rather than accepting social norms which dictate loving only one person at a time. Polyamory is an umbrella term which integrates traditional multipartner relationship terms with more evolved egalitarian terms. Polyamory embraces sexual equality and all sexual orientations towards an expanded circle of spousal intimacy and love. (Adapted from the original: http://www.polyamorysociety.org/glossary.html) |
