Some people may even consider it a form of cheating but that doesn't apply either. Polyamorous relationships are entered into with the full knowledge of both partners and even embraced as a way of life.

At first I thought it was a more presentable term for the swinging lifestyle or that it was a nice way to say that someone was cheating on their spouse. In reality, nothing I thought could be farther from the truth.
Polamory is being heralded as a new type of relationship style totally unlike monogamy and homosexuality. People becoming involved in these types of relationships are doing so with the complete approval of their partner and sometimes the partner even joins in with someone else. Gone is the day where relationships are meant to be between one man and one woman or even two women or two men. The time has come for polyamory, a term first...
