What is polyamory: myths, realities, and how to approach it with confidence
Share
Polyamory isn't simply "having multiple partners" or a free pass for infidelity. It's a consensual relationship in which all people involved know and accept that there is more than one active romantic or sexual relationship.
Myth 1: “Polyamory is for people who don’t want to commit.”
Reality: In many cases, it requires more commitment and communication than a monogamous relationship.
Myth 2: “Polyamory is just sex without limits.”
Reality: There is sexual and emotional polyamory, and the dynamics vary according to each person or group.
To live it in a healthy way, it is key:
-
Radical communication : expressing emotions, insecurities and expectations.
-
Clear agreements : limits, times and mutual care.
-
Self-care : listening to your own emotional rhythm.
If you ever consider it, remember: polyamory is not a fad, it is a choice that must respect the consent and well-being of all people involved.
