Polyamory (from Ancient Greek πολύς (polús) 'many', and Latin amor 'love') is the practice of, or desire for, romantic relationships with more than one partner at the same time, with the informed consent of all partners involved.[1][2] Some people who identify as polyamorous believe in consensual non-monogamy with a conscious management of jealousy and reject the view that sexual and relational exclusivity (monogamy) are prerequisite for deep, committed, long-term, loving relationships.[3] Others prefer to restrict their sexual activity to only members of the group, a closed polyamorous relationship that is usually referred to as polyfidelity.[4][5]

Open relationships have existed throughout human history. Though the word "poly-amorous" was first found in literature in the Green Egg Magazine in May 1990. And In May of 1992 created a usenet group (alt.polyamory), which I have to wonder, is usenet still out there? And then on the 27th of July 2024, I noticed there was no Polyamory magazine on the Fediverse. It's my understanding that in the early days of creating the internet (where we currently find ourselves), when one finds something that doesn't yet exist there lies an opportunity to create it. So I'm out here on the edge of Internet-space creating a place, and calling for others to join me in developing a place for conversations, etc, in support of mutually supportive relationships, in support of polyamory and a better world.
