Hi Shauna, Poly has multiple meanings, because it is contextual on how involved you want your relationships to be vs casual, but the gist is you generally are in a relationship with more than one person or that you are dating or sleeping with more than one person. I say generally because as I was told by someone who was poly you can be a monogamist who dates someone who is poly. Like any relationships, it comes down to the people in them and what they want or need from their relationships. And in any relationship there are healthy ways to engage and unhealthy. It is different from open or swinging because that would not mean even having a relationship with those partners, beyond a one time sexual experience. Like you might or might not see them again. But if you are in a relationship already with one person and take on any other partners you are poly. So then if you are a couple who swings, you are poly, or if you are in an open relationship you are poly. But simply swinging once or being with individual partners consecutively does not mean you are poly. My opinion of it doesn't matter, it can be a healthy or unhealthy way of living on this planet. My preference is although I might enjoy it from a strictly sexual point of view, which is where a lot of people come from, that's not what I'm after in a relationship. I just want to be with a single person who wants the exact same type of relationship. Where we are great friends, go out of our way to support and appreciate each other, and are willing to be truthful and open in communication. We understand the healing from past traumas and wanting to live our best life possible. From there we can build anything together. And romantically and sexually, I feel one partner can fulfill many fantasies you might have, even becoming radically different energetically even through role play if that's desired. Again all comes down to what you are looking for. (edited)

In simple terms.... Amory (from the French Amore) is only present when there is a commitment romantic (love) relafuonship. Swinging can be devoid of emotional attachment or connection

Poly would include "love" - whatever that means to you, probably lasting longer and including bonding emotions with multiple persons. It has to be flexible on all ends otherwise the bons tear or tear you up. Swinging would be more about physical pleasure and less emotions and would not necessarely include bonding with any but your main partner. Open relationship would probably include one main partner that you have a more or less strong bond, but having a mutual freedom to engage with other parthers emotionally and/or physically without hurring any feelings.
