There is a lot of confusion and misinformation out there when it comes to non-monogamous relationships. From polyamory to hot wives, it doesn’t matter how you share or open your relationship up, it still seems to leave room for confusion. We are here to help navigate the facts of non-monogamy for those who aren’t really clear on what its all about

It’s Unethical

You’ve probably heard the term “ethical non-monogamy”, which would lead one to logically deduce that there is also an equal amount of unethical non-monogamy. That isn’t really the case. There isn’t inherently anything unethical about non-monogamy. What people don’t often realize about non-monogamy is that everyone is consenting, aware, contributing, and agreeing to the boundaries and guidelines being put in place. It isn’t a free-for-all. Non-Monogamy is unethical – Cap.

There’s no cheating in non-monogamous relationships.

Cheating is generally done in secret and goes against the boundaries of a relationship that have been put in place. It’s the same for monogamous relationships, except with polyamory, there are just more people involved. Cheating might look different compared to a monogamous relationship, but it also might look very similar. It’s a violation of an agreement. For example, if three people are in a committed polyamorous relationship and have decided to also be open to dating and sex with other people great! But if they haven’t decided this as a group and someone goes on a date and engages in sex outside of their polyamorous relationship, then that is cheating. Cheating can be flirtation, using dating apps, going on dates, crossing physical boundaries, and, yes, sex. Cheating is anything that goes against the agreements made in a relationship. Non-monogamy means there is no cheating – Cap.

Non-monogamous people just sleep with everyone

Each and every person practicing non-monogamy is different, and that’s the beauty of it! Non-monogamy, for most people, is not centered around sex. Non-monogamous people are just like any other people — the only difference is they might have multiple romantic and/or sexual partners (but it doesn’t mean they want to sleep with everyone). So, this is also cap.

So, what is fact? The fact is there is no one right way to have a relationship. There isn’t a one size fits all relationship for every human. Whether you identify as monogamous, non-monogamous, or just aren’t sure. The important thing is you’re being true to you and true to your partner, or partners in whatever type of relationship you choose.
