A look at how people are giving themselves a choice to love another way.
More people than ever are exploring the possibility of opening up their relationships — and not only that, they are fighting for their legal rights to love however and whomever they choose. In Polyamorous, reporter Jenny Yuen digs into how polyamory affects underrepresented communities, why these unions are becoming more normalized, and how relationships with multiple partners can be a practical alternative to monogamy and an intriguing expedition through uncharted emotional territory. Pairing off is no longer the default option for many. For some, polyamory is just a part of who they are.

Quotes

  • Marcela Ferriñohas quoted4 years ago
    The key philosophy of polyamory is that it’s built on a foundation of love, honesty, trust, transparency, intimacy, equality, open communication, and commitment. Polyamorists reject the view that sexual and relationship exclusivity are necessary for deep, committed, long-term, loving relationships.

      Perhaps humans aren’t meant to be monogamous, but if they choose to be, they should be honest with themselves and each other with what they need in life. They should also know there is another option out there if they’re attracted to more than one person at a time.

      • Miguel Gaytanhas quoted4 years ago
        I struggled at the time with what life was supposed to look like: One partner. Monogamy. I was often told “You can’t have it all,” but living an ordinary life just wasn’t me.
