Polyamory means loving more than one. People are drawn to Polyamory because they realize in themselves an ability to love many and choose to do so openly, without guilt or deceit. Polyamorous relationships may or may not include a sexual aspect.
People choose Polyamory because they desire emotional intimacy, depth, and commitment.
Polyamorous relationships are generally established on a long-term basis and share intimate, nurturing, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. A Polyamorous Family is a multiple adult group who share a level of intimacy, commitment, and may or may not live together. Polyamorous families and groups may define their intimate relationships as closed to intimacy outside the group, open to intimacy outside the group, or somewhere in between. Sexual relationships depend on the level of intimacy desired and enjoyed between individuals. Polyamory generally requires much greater levels of openness, honesty, communication, self-knowledge, and personal responsibility than conventional relationships.
