Ethical Non-Monogamy

Relationships

What the term means

An umbrella term for consensual relationships involving more than one partner, with openness and agreements.

In detail

This term concerns the structure or social format of relationships between adults. Such arrangements differ in communication, expectations, emotional involvement and practical boundaries.
