Speaking of Family: Some Pollyanna Words about Polyfidelity
Polifidelity is having a closed circle of lovers, with a shared commitment within that circle. Polyamoury is having any number of lovers, often with a few who are considered primary. Monogamy is having one partner with whom there is a lifelong commitment. Then there is the concept of fluid monogamy / polyfidelity, wherein sex between partner(s) is unprotected, but any sexual activity outside the defined relationship is strictly safe. Further exploration also finds emotional monogamy, where there is an emotional commitment between two people who both have other sex partners. Emotionaly polyfidelity is basically the same thing with a multiple structure.

A person regarded as being foolishly or blindly optimistic.

Subject: 2). What's polyamory, then?
(Glad you asked that. ;-) ) Polyamory means "loving more than
one". This love may be sexual, emotional, spiritual, or any
combination thereof, according to the desires and agreements of
the individuals involved, but you needn't wear yourself out
trying to figure out ways to fit fondness for apple pie, or
filial piety, or a passion for the Saint Paul Saints baseball
club into it. "Polyamorous" is also used as a descriptive term by
people who are open to more than one relationship even if they
are not currently involved in more than one. (Heck, some are
involved in less than one.) Some people think the definition is
a bit loose, but it's got to be fairly roomy to fit the wide
range of poly arrangements out there.

POLYAMORY- (poly=many; amor=love) The practice, state or ability of having multiple sexualove partners at the same time. (Otter G'Zell)
POLYAMOROUS- Inclined, capable and desiring of having multiple sexualove partners at the same time. (Morning Glory Zell)
Glossary of Relationship Terminology, http://www.sexuality.org/l/polyamor/styles.html
Polyamory is the absence, rather than the opposite, of monogamy. It is the pursuit or practice of multiple simultaneous sexual relationships. It is not synonymous with cheating or promiscuity.
Cheating involves dishonesty. The creation and maintenance of viable polyamorous relationships generally requires complete honesty and a lot of work. Promiscuity generally implies lack of discrimination. Being polyamorous does not mean you will sleep with anyone. Polyamorous people are just as discriminating as monogamous people; they just invest energy in relationships in parallel, rather than serially.

Polyamory is the practice of being in love with more than one person at the same time. "In love," of course, is tough to define, but it generally includes having romantic, affectional, and/or sexual feelings toward another person. In the case of someone who is polyamorous, it means that person is (or is capable of) having those kinds of feelings for more than one person at the same time.
