Each person I spoke to defined it slightly differently: “A lifestyle choice that allows us the freedom, with complete openness with the individuals we love, to explore all types of connections with others as they organically develop without the expected social limitations of emotional & sexual monogamy.” “Polyamory is being able to love more than one person, primarily in a romantic sense, and each partner knows about the other partners. That’s very overarching, though, and doesn’t really explain all the details.”
