The term polyamory is a new word used in our language to describe the practice, exercise or loving state of a particular person who tends to relate either sexually, sentimentally or even both with two or more people with the consent of each of the parties. individuals involved. Although we separate the word, it can be seen that it is composed of "poly" which means "many" plus the voice "love" described as a feeling of the human being in reference to another being; Therefore, according to this, it can be understood that polyamory could refer to loving several people at the same time or establishing a sexual, intimate or emotional relationship with them as long as everyone is in total agreement.
Polyamory is based mainly on feeling, that is, on the existence and acceptance of feeling between three or more people, without giving any importance to the sexual identity of each of the related individuals; It is said that polyamory can occur between men, women or transsexuals, importing more than all the love, affection, affection or passion that exists between them and the approval or consent on the part of all the members of the relationship; so the sexual phenomenon takes a back seat.
What characterizes these multiple relationships are honesty, communication, loyalty and the openness of all those involved so that the relationship is lasting and successful. It is important to clarify that polyamory is not only about sexual relations without any commitment, or on the part of the well-known "swingers couples" or " swingers ".
The term arose and began to be used thanks to Jennifer Wesp, who created an Internet newsgroup in 1992 called "alt.polyamory"; however it is stated that the word had already been proposed since the 1970s.
