When you’re completely monogamous with your partner, i.e., don’t have any hidden secrets, don't use white lies, communicate honestly, don't fear each other's judgment, it’s conscious monogamy.   Conscious monogamy is a combination of emotional and sexual monogamy. Most people can be sexual monogamists, but complete emotional monogamy is tough. To have conscious monogamy, you mustn’t be afraid of saying what’s on your mind because of hurting the other or yourself.
