Polyamory (from Ancient Greek πολύς (polús) 'many', and Latin amor 'love') is the practice of, or desire for, romantic relationships with more than one partner at the same time, with the informed consent of all partners involved.[1][2] Some people who identify as polyamorous believe in consensual non-monogamy with a conscious management of jealousy and reject the view that sexual and relational exclusivity (monogamy) are prerequisite for deep, committed, long-term, loving relationships.[3] Others prefer to restrict their sexual activity to only members of the group, a closed polyamorous relationship that is usually referred to as polyfidelity.[4][5]

I wanted to include links to other related communities in this community. I was trying to come up with terms for all these related relationship types, and then I remembered that this venn existed. I've seen numerous versions of this previously. This one happens to come from (https://polyadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nonmonogamy3-large-768x512.png) or REALLY ENORMOUS (https://www.xeromag.com/sexualinformatics/nonmonogamy2.5.2.gif) See, I even credited my source. :-D
I'm pretty sure "intentionally over complicating things for entertainment" overlaps significantly with most forms of "Non-monogamy", and with "the human experience". ;-) The pertinent question is, which of these rectangles/ explanatory examples fits for a given person, and which one's don't? I believe this diagram was developed to help us understand where we fit in the poly-schema we've developed.
no… it’s completely useless for explaining anything…
like, see how religious non monogamy doesn’t overlap with commerce?
the point of a venmo diagram is to visually represent if there’s something in that overlap or not.
it’s basically satire of a venn diagram….
Umm, I'm just the messenger. Wanna see if you can talk with Franklin, the author? I linked his blog.
