Polyamory

Polyamory is a novel concept that has surfaced over recent decades in the debates about non‐monogamy. Polyamory circumscribes a relationship philosophy, an identity, or a lifestyle that evolves around the belief that it is worthwhile and valid to have more than one partner. Combining word elements derived from Greek (poly) and Latin (amory), the term literally translates into “many loves.” The concept of polyamory aims at providing a positive alternative to the more common term “non‐monogamy,” which draws its meaning primarily from a negation of the dominant term “monogamy.” As a relationship ideology, polyamory encourages multiple or open relationships and challenges the normative ideal of compulsory monogamy
