Basic Poly Glossary

Poly: Short for polyamorous.

Polyamory: The non-possessive, honest, responsible ethical philosophy and practice of loving multiple people simultaneously. Based on the conscious choice of how many partners one wishes to be involved with, rather than accepting social norms that dictate monogamy as the only acceptable form of love.

Non-Monogamy: In general, this is simply another way of saying "polyamorous". It is sometimes felt to have a slightly different meaning, since the word "amour", meaning "love", is not present in the root word. This is sometimes felt to mean that the person using this term may have more casual relationships.

Polyfidelity: A group - of any size - in which all partners are primary to all other partners and sexual fidelity is to the group. More primary partners can be added only with the entire group's consent.
