All right, so what is "polyamory"?
The word "polyamory" is based on the Greek and Latin for "many loves" (literally, poly many + amore love). A polyamorous relationship is a romantic relationship that involves more than two people.
You mean, like swinging?
Not exactly. Swinging has a different focus. Swingers focus on recreational sex, though friendships and deeper bonds may develop. With polyamory, deep relationships are the focus, though the sex is often fun.
Oh, I gotcha. So, like, you have a girlfriend on the side.
No. That is something different as well. The technical term for that is "cheating."
