Polyamory is the practice, desire, or acceptance of having more than one intimate relationship at a time, with the knowledge or consent of everyone involved. It is often described as consensual, ethical, or responsible non-monogamy.
Relationship Anarchy – (or RA) is the belief that relationships should not be bound by rules aside from what the people involved mutually agree upon. If a relationship anarchist has multiple intimate partners, it might be considered as a form of polyamory, but distinguishes itself by postulating that there need not be a formal distinction between sexual, romantic, or platonic relationships
