Polyamory differs from adultery because all the partners know about each others' lovers, so there is not secrecy or betrayal.

In its most basic form, it is defined as honest consensual non-monogamy. While some decline to allow that Swinging is part of PolyAmory, the basic definition still applies. You will find, though, that there are as many definitions of PolyAmory as there are people practicing it. PolyAmory must have as a basic more than 2 people in the relationship. Not all participants need be involved with every other participant, nor is co-housing a requirement.
PolyAmory incorporates PolyAndry (many husbands), PolyGyny (many wives), PolyFidelity (no outside relationships), "open" or "closed" to new partners, fidelitous or not, and many variations of the above.

Where someone can love multiple people at once. It doesn’t mean that they’re bad at commitment, are cheaters, or just like sleeping around. All of those are different then polyamory. Just because somebody is polyamorous doesn’t mean they’re a cheater, and usually their partners are ok with them dating multiple people. It’s just as valid as any other identity.
A “Hey I saw you kiss Natalie, are you cheating?”
B “No, I am polyamorous”
A “Doesn’t that mean that you’re a cheater?”
B “No, polyamory is different then that. Betty is fine with me being with other girls”
A “Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding”
B “No, I am polyamorous”
A “Doesn’t that mean that you’re a cheater?”
B “No, polyamory is different then that. Betty is fine with me being with other girls”
A “Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding”

"Did you hear Jacob and Amy are into polyamory?"
"So they're cheating on each other."
"Not they're not! Unlike cheating, they are both aware of their partner's sexual activities. They also set up rules to avoid jealousy and heart break."
"That's just cheating with extra steps."
