    Having multiple partners but everyone involved knows and is okay with it. I’ve more often heard it as “ethical polyamory.”

      Last time I checked, that’s just called polyamory. The thing where they don’t know is called cheating. We don’t need a qualifier pushing a conservative narrative of what love is.

      Polyamory and ENM are two different things. Polyamory is a part of ENM but ENM is not polyamory. It’s rectangles and squares stuff.

      You can be ENM without any polyamory.

          Ethical non-monogamy is any form of non-monogamy that everyone involved is okay with and consents to.

          Examples:

          • polyamory
          • Open relationship
          • Swinging
          • being/having a unicorn/bull

          Etc etc…

          Polyamory is just one aspect of a much larger category.
