The truth about polyamorous relationships

Thought polyamory was an ‘alternative’ relationship structure? It’s actually more common than you’d think. Researchers at US universities* found one in nine people had been in a poly relationship, while one in six had some desire to, and one in 15 knew someone who had. Of those who’d tried it, 30% would do it again, and for those who wouldn’t, it was the emotional intensity (33%) and feeling possessive (21%) that put them off. The most likely groups to engage with it were men, younger people, and people who are lesbian, gay or bisexual. The more the merrier, eh?
