Polyamorous is an adjective used to describe a broad non-monogamous practice. Monogamy is the practice of committing your heart to one person exclusivly. Non-monogamy is everything else including slutting around, polyfuckery, cheating, dating, polygamy to name but a few of the practically infinite ways you can be non-monogamous. What sets polyamory apart are three essential ingredients; romantic/sexual love, commitment and transparency.
To practice polyamory, all three ingredients must be present. Loving your partner/s with your whole heart, being committed to the ideals of loving them and being open and honest with them in at least relation to any other loves, sexual and romantic relationships you are in, and being respectful of each other and your respective relationships.
The practice emphasises ethical relationships, self-control and taking personal responsibility for your actions, as opposed to trying to deceive, control or blame others.

People like to claim they are polyamorous as an excuse to be dishonest, non-committed, selfish assholes in their relationships, this is not polyamory this is polyfuckery.

Get the polyamorous mug.A combination of two words: The Greek word "poly" meaning more than one / many, and the latin word "amor" meaning love.) Meaning when a person loves more than one person romantically.
The emphasis is on the word "love" which differentiates the term from similar types like open or slut although those types often use the term "polyamorous" or "poly" to define themselves; usually incorrectly.
Polyamorous people love the people they sleep with in the same way monogomous couples love each other and are also loyal/faithful to their partners in the same way. Being poly requires open honestly between all involved to fit the accepted definition of polyamory.
Poly is not purely defined by sex alone. A poly person can love two people dearly while only having sex with one of the people involved. For example: A man with two girlfriends who love each other without jealous feelings and who sleep with him but not each other; all involved are polyamorous.
Not the same as, but closely related to, being a polygamist which is strictly defined by marriage and not just love. When polyamorous couples get married they are then polygamists.
