What is polyamory: myths, realities, and how to approach it with confidence

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.
