POLYAMORY: A lifestyle in which one is involved in or open to two or more sexual relationships (whether or not one is involved in a primary relationship) and in which one also strives to develop and maintain an emotional connectedness and intimacy with most or all of one's lovers, informing each lover at least that one has or may have other lover(s). Distinguished from swinging by more emphasis on emotional connectedness than on physical sex. A polyamorous group larger than two may pursue an open relationship or polyfidelity. Adjective: "polyamorous". Note: There are many variations of polyamory; some examples (there are others) include (1) primary groups larger than two (triads, quads, etc.), (2) couple-to-couple dating, and (3) secondary relationships by members of a primary couple or group.
IMHO, and It appears very widespread particularly among Bisexuals; though not exclusively. I'm wondering about various individual opinions/experiences on the Poly lovestyle in relation to ones Bisexual choices as a lifestyle aspect of being Bi.
For those of you who wonder about the colors on my avatar: See Jim Evans' Polyamory Pride Flag http://www.isomedia.com/homes/jene/flag.html I just adapted the color/symbol scheme to a standard ILY ( I Love You ) hand to signify that I'm Deaf-Bi-Poly heh.
