Polyamory - The Love Of More Than One
Most people think that their only options are to find monogamous love or spend their life alone forever, but the most basic fact about humanity is that we're all different and there are so many different ways to find love and happiness. Polyamory is one of those options, and it can come in many different forms.
The world polyamory comes from a combination of the Greek world poly, which means many or several, and the Latin word amor, which means love. In the simplest terms, it is the desire or the practice of sharing intimate relationship with two or more partners, where all of the partners are aware of all of the other partners. This makes it different than cheating, because all of the partners involved remain aware of everything that might affect their dynamic. Everything that happens within the dynamic is ethical, consensual, and responsible. Just because you are open to multiple partners, does not mean that it's open season and you can do whatever you want, with whomever you want. Full communication is essential in a functioning, healthy polyamorous relationship.
This book looks at polyamory, polygamy and other forms of multiple partner relationships.
