Polyamory

So, you decided, on your own, to modify a definition that has been considered, for years, as the standard definition for polyamory, just because you don't want to be considered as a swinger ? Don't you think there are many more important differences between polyamory and swinging ? That, if love is possible in polyamory (whereas it is - usually - forbidden in swinging), it's not mandatory ? Do you forget every feelings that stands between friendship and love ? Do you forget that a poly person may have a relationship on their side, with the consent of any other partner they have but without any control on it by them, witch is not the case in swinging ? You're putting moral where there are only facts. The quality of the relationship is none of our business.

So, please, could you put the definition as it was for so long ?

Thanks.

PS : sorry for my English ;)

I looked back at entries. You're right. "Loving" was added by someone fairly recently. I'll revert. I was probably too sensitized to the Poly crowd that is often insulted at the idea that some consider them swingers because of multiple partners. If the poly don't feel loving is part of who they are, who am I to question it? JVB (talk) 12:54, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Hm, I just realized you're not the one who added "loving" in the first place. So, please excuse my tone in my previous message, I might have sound a little upset. Sorry for that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LittleJohnCM (talk • contribs) 17:53, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
