I'm poly and this is what you should know.

Polyamorous the practice of having multiple romantic partners.

Based on the Greek and Latin for ‘many loves’, a polyamorous person is not someone who cheats, contrary to popular opinion.

They will have, or be open to having, more than one romantic relationship at a time, with the knowledge and consent of all their partners.

1. Isn’t<b> polyamory </font></b>basically cheating? Or swinging?

A polyamorous relationship won’t involve having a partner on the side, or someone that others don’t know about – that’s what the definition of cheating is.

You can’t be sleeping with your boss while your husband’s away on business and say you’re poly – that’s cheating.

Swinging has a different focus to polyamory, as that is based around people meeting up for recreational sex – although friendships and deeper bonds can develop. With polyamory, deep relationships are the focus – although the sex is often fun.

2. Isn’t saying you’re poly just a way of saying you can’t commit?

Nope – the opposite is actually the case.

Those who are poly remain committed to one partner when another person comes along – whereas those who are monogamous will often practice serial monogamy. In other words, they will jump from lover to lover, while poly people doesn’t involve the discarding of any lovers.

3. Other concerns.

The most important rule in poly relationships is to communicate, so that any complications don’t explode.

It’s important for those in a poly relationship to make their lovers feel wanted or needed – if someone sees their partner treating another one in a different way, this will naturally lead to feelings of inadequacy or jealousy.

The concept of being poly and loving multiple people can be compared to a parent having multiple – a mother or father will love all of their equally, and not have more love for one than another.

This is because the brain has the capacity to love more than one person – which is how poly people operate.

Thanks for reading this and I hope it helps.

With warm and darken thoughts for your kinks,

John
