Polyamory

Polyamory is the practice or desire of having multiple emotionally and sexually significant relationships at the same time with the awareness and consent of all participants. Key features are awareness and honesty, as partners need to negotiate a lot, speak openly about their emotions, and be empathetic. Among polyamorists, there is statistically more sincerity, emotional closeness, and sexual satisfaction, while jealousy is less common. A person becomes more attentive to themselves and others, more aware, deeply analyzes their feelings, and speaks freely about them to reach agreements with partners. Sometimes, polyamorists find it difficult to maintain balance – it happens that someone starts paying more attention to one partner, "sidelining" another or others.
