A more or less permanent sexual relationship established between multiple people regardless of gender. Usually refers to a relationship between several people of each gender, including homosexual and bisexual individuals. Polyamorous relationships tend to be more dynamic, gaining or losing individuals, than polygyny, polyandry, or monogamy. (See kinship.)
