The word polyamory means many or multiple loves. It’s typically used when people have multiple partners.
People who identify as polyamorous are usually seeking a lasting emotional bond just as much as multiple sexual partners.
Polyamorous folks can enjoy swinging, friends with benefits, one-night affairs, etc.
So are you thinking that having multiple long-lasting lovers sounds amazing?
Here are 5 reasons why Polyamory might not be right for you.
This is one of the most common reasons why couples open up their relationship. And it’s not a good idea.
If you’re interested in polyamory you have to be ready for some serious emotional work.
The thing is, you have to be willing to sit with your jealousy and listen to it and communicate what you’re feeling.
And if all of that sounds like way too much, then polyamory isn’t right for you.
If you know you’re mostly looking for sex, then be up-front about it. And the term polyamory probably isn’t right for you.
Going into something you’re not ready for or not interested in isn’t healthy.
In other words, I hope you do want to have the best possible relationships with others.
But you get to decide what that looks like for you and what work you need to do to make it happen.
