Document Summary
Phl module 7 commitment and relationships: one, two, and more. Polyamory - what it is and what it isn"t. Polyamory has been defined as the philosophy and practice of loving more than one person at a time with honesty and integrity. Polyamorists say that their philosophy is nothing more than a straightforward acceptance and celebration of the realities of human nature. Polyamorists say that sex is not the enemy, that the real enemy is the deceit and betrayal of trust that results from trying to shoehorn our natural selves into a rigid, unnatural social system. Polyamorists say that sex is a positive force if applied with honesty, responsibility and trust. Polyamorists do not have to individually meet every need of each partner; they have help. Polyamorists say that love is an infinite, not a finite commodity. An example of this is with children or friends.
