A feeling of joy when a loved one invests in and takes pleasure from another romantic or sexual relationship.
Commentary: Compersion can be thought of as the opposite of "jealousy;" it is a positive emotional reaction to a loved one's other relationship. The term was coined by the Kerista Commune. It differs from candaulism in that compersion does not specifically refer to joy regarding the sexual activity of one's partner, but refers instead to joy at the relationship with another romantic and/or sexual partner. It is analogous to the feeling of joy a parent feels when their children marry or that best friends feel for each other when they are happy in a romantic relationship.

Get the Compersion mug.By far the most exclusive and all white country club in the tri state area. All the moms play tennis at least 3 days a week, and the fathers play 18 holes of golf almost as frequently. The children are all in the preppiest and private schools around and spend every day of the summer when they are not sailing on their family's yacht in the Mediteranian, either playing golf, tennis, or swimming. The only cars that are under $50,000 belong to the help and seeing a famous face there is nothing new. Also, the sight of the U.S. Open in 1997 and former U.S. presidents are former country club presidents.

Member 2: "Oh, I would so join you, but I have to go down to Neiman's and pick up my Prada bag. They had to have it especially made so that it would match the interior of my BMW."
Member 1: "Wow! That's such a great idea! When I trade in my Bentley for a Mayback, I think I will so do the same thing!"
