Consensual Non-Monogamy
Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM) refers to relationship structures where all partners agree to engage in romantic or sexual relationships with multiple people. This approach emphasizes open communication, honesty, and mutual consent among all parties involved. CNM can take various forms, including polyamory, swinging, and open relationships.
In CNM, individuals prioritize transparency and respect, ensuring that everyone is aware of and comfortable with the dynamics of the relationships. This model challenges traditional notions of exclusivity in romantic partnerships, allowing for diverse connections and experiences while maintaining a focus on consent and emotional well-being.
