poly relationship
A poly relationship is one where an adult is involved in a romantic
relationship with two or more consenting adults. This takes a huge
variety of forms and can involve close knit groupings (such as a triad
with three people all involved with each other) among other things.
Polyamory literally means many loves and generally means someone is
open
to having more then one loving and romantic relationship at once. The key is relationship - not
fling!
Non-monogamy is more general and just means a relationship style which
is not monogamous and includes people like swingers.
It has been said that Poly (capital P) is the close-knit version and
poly(small p) is sleeping around.See also
