Polyamory is not about sex.

Did you know that polyamory is not about sex? Polyamory is about relationships, sharing, love, honesty, and respect (and from these things, sex does sometimes develop). Many poly folks, including myself at this time, find that they are happiest when involved with one or fewer sexualoving partners.

Here’s the definition from polyamory.org:

Polyamory means “loving more than one”. This love may be sexual, emotional, spiritual, or any combination thereof, according to the desires and agreements of the individuals involved, but you needn’t wear yourself out trying to figure out ways to fit fondness for apple pie, or filial piety, or a passion for the Saint Paul Saints baseball club into it. “Polyamorous” is also used as a descriptive term by people who are open to more than one relationship even if they are not currently involved in more than one. (Heck, some are involved in less than one.)
