Polyamory

What is polyamory?

"loving more than one". This love may be sexual, emotional, spiritual, or any combination thereof, according to the desires and agreements of the individuals involved, but you needn't wear yourself out trying to figure out ways to fit fondness for apple pie, or filial piety, or a passion for the Saint Paul Saints baseball club into it. "Polyamorous" is also used as a descriptive term by people who are open to more than one relationship even if they are not currently involved in more than one.

What does being polyamorous mean to me?

To me, being poly means not having to deny the love and attraction I have for people other than my husband. For a long time I have know it is possible, natural, and very likely for me to fall in love with or be attracted to more than one person at a time. I could almost say that although monogamy is natural for other people and necessary for them, I just don't understand it myself. There are different levels of committment, attraction, and friendship in different relationships... they are not all the same, but they are not unimportant either.
