Polüamorist

Polüamorist is a term used to describe an individual who practices or believes in polyamory. Polyamory is a relationship style that involves the consent of all parties to have romantic and/or sexual relationships with multiple partners. It is distinct from cheating or infidelity as it is based on open communication and mutual agreement.

Polüamorists typically believe that love and commitment are not finite resources and can be shared among multiple people. They often emphasize honesty, trust, and ethical considerations within their relationships. The structure of polyamorous relationships can vary widely, with some individuals having one primary partner and other secondary relationships, while others may have relationships of equal importance.

The term "polüamorist" is derived from the Greek word "poly" meaning many, and the Latin word "amor" meaning love. It is not a sexual orientation but rather a relationship orientation. Individuals who identify as polüamorist may also identify with other sexual orientations such as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or pansexual.

There are various community and support networks for polüamorists. These groups often share resources and discuss challenges and joys associated with non-monogamous relationship structures. While polyamory is gaining more visibility, societal understanding and acceptance can still be a barrier for many polüamorists.
