Non-monogamy
Non-monogamy refers to relationship styles where individuals engage in romantic or sexual relationships with more than one person simultaneously, with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved. It contrasts with monogamy, where people commit to only one partner. There are various forms, including open relationships, swinging, and polyamory, each with different rules and boundaries. The core idea is honesty, communication, and ethical behavior, allowing individuals to explore multiple connections while respecting all parties' feelings and agreements. Non-monogamy emphasizes transparency and consent, fostering diverse ways to form meaningful relationships beyond traditional monogamous norms.
