Also know, what does it mean to be in a monogamous relationship?
Monogamy is when you are married to, or in a sexual relationship with, one person at a time. Humans are one of the few species that practice monogamy. Well, sometimes. You may have heard of something called polygamy, which is having more than one spouse at a time.
One may also ask, what is the difference between non monogamy and polyamory? Non-monogamy can be any form of sexual relationship outside of another relationship you may be in. Love does not have to be involved, it can be purely physical. Polyamory means “many loves,” essentially. It can be a sexual relationship or a non-sexual but emotionally romantic one, and it still counts as polyamory.
Also asked, what is an ethically non monogamous relationship?
Non-monogamy at its most basic is a relationship that involves more than two people. "Ethical" non-monogamy implies that all parties are being treated respectfully, and that enthusiastic consent to the arrangement has been given by everyone involved.
Why do people choose non monogamy?
Tight sexual boundaries lead to profound frustration. With non-monogamy, you don't have to choose between never getting those needs or wants satisfied and throwing away the entire relationship, just for the freedom to find the kind of sex you want with someone else.
