Polyamory in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polyamory in the United States (polyamory being 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, in the United States.[1][2] Polyamory is a relationship type that is practiced by a minority of the population in the United States, about 4 to 5 percent.[3] According to a 2016 study, 20 percent of singles in the US have attempted some form of consensual non-monogamy at some point of their lives, such as polyamory or open relationships.[3][4][5] In a study, polyamorous couples tend to identify as bisexual and pansexual.[3]
