A "throuple" is a romantic relationship involving three people who are all emotionally and often sexually involved with one another. This type of relationship can take various forms, including equal partnerships or a hierarchy among the members. Throuples are part of a broader category known as polyamory, which allows for multiple romantic relationships with the consent of everyone involved. In a throuple, communication and consent are crucial for maintaining harmony and addressing any challenges that may arise. Each member typically has a say in the dynamics of the relationship, and they may establish rules or boundaries to ensure that everyone's needs are met. Throuples can be seen in various communities and are increasingly recognized in discussions about modern relationships.
