Common Practices
Everyone is different! You'll see this repeated throughout our website and glossary. Common polyamory practices include, but certainly aren't limited to:
- Emphasis on communication between all partners or prospective partners
- An awareness that one-size does not fit all for relationships
- Focus on getting one’s needs met by having a variety of partners who may be capable of meeting different needs.
- Identifying with polyamory regardless of current partners, similar to orientation.
