Often a term used among polyamorous (openly nonmonogamous) people. Often called the antonym of jealousy. Seeing your partner/s get a crush on, hook up with, fall in love with, or in any other way romantically bond with other people, and feeling deep happiness, joy, and love for them.
"You're in love with Parker, don't you feel jealous that he's started dating Emily?"
"Actually, no, I feel compersion. She's really cool. He lights up to see her. When I see him that happy, I actually feel happy for him, not jealous."

Get the compersion mug.Something more than casual sex, something more than “no strings attached” sex, compassionate sex is something beautiful, enjoyable, and amazing!
It’s a passionate sexual experience between two people that have a strong desire to care, and share, and please each other, ie “Making Love” with limited or restricted emotions.

Every time he touches me, every time we are together it’s more than casual, it’s more than just a random lay… it’s passionate, and compassionate, compassionate sex!

Get the Conpression mug.Something only the truly hardcore and awesome people in this world possess. While it's popular to believe that only wusses are compassionate, this is not true, it takes guts to care. It's popular to call the compassionate names because people who don't care feel like bitches when they see us doing something they don't have the balls to do.
Anyone can lack compassion, it's easy, just do nothing that helps other people.
Compassion isn't to be confused with being a tool you become a tool by being compassionate and naive.

Guy1: That over-hyped celebrity tried to display compassion and gave 130k to the Salvation Army! Isn't she awesome??!!
Guy2: ohmygod she gave 0.4% of her massive fortune to an unbelievably inefficient idiot's charity? You're right! She IS amazing! She donated with a straight face!
Dude1: I saw Tony helping unload the food truck down at the food bank.
Dude2: Isn't Tony poor as hell, supporting his siblings on his 50 hour workweek, and trying to stay above water in college too? How does he find time to unload a food bank truck?
Dude3: It was on a weekend, guess he got a Saturday off.
Dude2: Damn I wish I was that cool, too bad it's so hard to be compassionate.

Get the compassion mug.Love is multiplicative, compersion in nature. Love in its whole is much greater than the sum of the discrete pairings.
