Polyamory

Polyamory.                                                                                                   

I love learning new words and adding them to my everyday usage. One such new word I learnt is “polyamory”.

It means: “Intimate connection with more than one person, ethically and with consent from all involved”.

In simple words what it means is that you have your partners consent to have intimate relationships with people apart from your partner, but keeping your partner in the loop and updated.

According to an active exponent, “Those who practice polyamory are often in multiple relationships, thus they get to explore different sides of themselves and others (sic) and they learn how to respond and react to different kinds of people and situations.”

I always thought three was a crowd!
