This is the umbrella mailing list for polyamory in South Africa - it serves as a national polyamory interest and discussion group for polyamorous and poly-curious South Africans.

From the individual standpoint polyamory is the possibility of having love relationships with more than one boyfriend/girlfriend/lover/wife/husband at a time. Maybe these people also have relationships with your other loves, or with different people entirely. The important point is that everyone knows about and accepts everyone else involved. Honesty is key and communication is essential.
