1.A relationship structure where all partners consciously and consensually agree to non-exclusive relationships.

2.Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM) is an umbrella term for any relationship structure in which people openly and consensually have multiple romantic or sexual partners. ENM encompasses polyamory, open relationships, swinging, relationship anarchy, and more. While not exclusive to the kink community, ENM is common within it — many people in BDSM relationships structure their lives and partnerships in non-traditional ways. The 'ethical' in ENM emphasizes honesty, communication, and the full knowledge and consent of all partners involved.
