Is polyamory a word?



Well, you can find it in the Webster's millennium edition, but that's
the only dictionary I found it in.



This is from Polyamory.com:

What is Polyamory? 

Polyamory is a relationship style that involves an openness to be being
involved with more than one person at the same time. Polyamory is about
responsible non-monogamy. Polyamory is not about cheating, or
dishonesty. Polyamory pre-supposes that all people involved consent to
this arrangement, and are honest about what is going on.

Polyamory is NOT swinging

There is a major distinction to be made between what is called
"Swinging" and Polyamory. In swinging, the intent is to engage in
non-monogamous sexual behavior without the development of love,
affection or personal intimacy between oneself and the secondary
partners. Swingers generally seek to engage in recreational sex without
emotional intimacy. With polyamory, there is no such restriction, and
the intent IS to allow such emotional intimacy to exist, develop, and
grow between the people involved.

You can also find out lots of info on www.polyamory.org
