Polyamory may be the mixture of the Greek term for “many” plus the Latin term for “love.” Combined, polyamory means “many loves” or “more than one love” (Anapol; Klesse). To be much more specific, polyamory is just a relationship design based on the fact that you’re able to love one or more individual. Polyamorous relationships frequently include having one or more relationship that is romantic, with complete knowledge and permission of the many lovers included. Polyamory just isn’t cheating, and may never be mistaken for affairs or infidelity. Moreover it varies from polygamy, that is a form that is religious-based of.
