Sorry, I couldn’t tell what was a quote and what wasn’t.
Polyamory is usually defined as honest nonmonogamy. In other words, any time someone is dating two people openly, that’s poly. It’s how many humans naturally behave. It doesn’t require exposure to US poly communities, or any community in general for that matter.
Many humans behave in a serial monogamy manner—which is not poly. Many humans behave in a covert polygamy manner—which is not poly. Whether there is very much left after that which matches US polyamory, I wouldn’t know...
I think that remains to be seen, unless one is quietly defining away polyamory as a dull negation of monogamy.
I didn’t state that; Klesse did. Between you and Klesse, I know who I will put more weight on.
