Amor y otras cosas: Polyamorous Relationships

• Jorge Luis López Velarde talks about polyamorous relationships and polyamory.
• It’s a talk that can be complex to get for some people.
• Let’s remember that it’s always important to talk about these topics with respect.

Polyamory is explained as a way of relationship where a person can keep close heart, mind, and sexual connections with more than one person at the same time.

Jorge compares it with the love that parents have for their kids, showing that love can grow and not run out, kind of like how you can love more than one person.

Monogamy is when two people stay in a special relationship, and open one, where partners can have sex with others, not just the main pair.

Polyamory is different from these two because it lets you have close heart connections with several people at once, not just limiting it to sex.

Types of Polyamorous Relationships

Regarding polyamorous relationship models, López says several polyamorous relationship models. One of them is the relationship of three people, where three people form a loving bond.

Open relationships of three people are also talked about, where there is a main promise but trying sex with others is allowed.

Let’s not forget the swinger style, where couples share sexual times with other couples or extra people.

With that said, now a few good things about polyamory.

Interesting Side of Polyamorous Relationships

One of the good things about polyamory is that relationships might last longer because a third person can help sort out fights or problems.

This makes the main relationship easier. Also, polyamory can make people happier in their sex lives because it lets everyone meet their sexual wants and needs in a bigger way.

Polyamory working well truly needs the people involved to be emotionally big.

Feelings like jealousy, being uneasy, and being afraid can come up, but talking to a helper one-on-one can be good to help people handle these hard feelings.

Remember that Not Everyone Wants the Same Thing

Polyamory can help save money, as living with two or more people in the same home can cut costs.

Another plus is starting a business or a family, as long all have grown-up feelings and talks openly and truly.

Talking is more needed than ever in this kind of relationship. Saying how you feel and being true keeps away many issues and makes the relationship stronger.

To end this topic, we remember that the key thing is to know what we want, if the relationship is good for all, and always talk with respect, honesty, and grown-up behavior, as López Velarde has said before.
