Polyamory is a relationship style that involves having multiple romantic partners simultaneously, with the consent and knowledge of everyone involved. It emphasizes open communication, trust, and honesty among partners, allowing individuals to form deep emotional connections with more than one person. In polyamorous relationships, boundaries and agreements are often established to ensure that all partners feel respected and valued. This approach differs from monogamy, where individuals have only one romantic partner at a time. Polyamory can take various forms, including hierarchical structures, where some relationships are prioritized, or non-hierarchical arrangements, where all partners are considered equal.
