Okay, I'm going to attempt bringing this schtick to completion. FWIW, keep in mind that Wikipedia doesn't automatically have ALL or even MOST active languages represented for every article. Google Translate claims to grasp 103 at the moment; meanshile, WP articles on "polyamory" amount to only 33.
I found the next one very enlightening as to how polyamory might appear to some people -- imagine translating it directly to some other language.
It also contains the (apparently requisite) plug for
TES as THE prime reference for Real Polyamory, against which I must naturally rebel.
Esperanto. For the record, this is an artificial language, intended to be universally simple to teach across cultures. IME, English speakers with a grasp of Spanish find Esperanto really easy to pick up. That's what makes the following somewhat worrying.
I'm sorry
Pluramemo is the preference or opposition to simultaneously have several stupid relationships lovely, funny, or romantic in absolute openness And mutual respect of all partners. In other words, prolonged researchers conserve (or wish to maintain) honest, generally non-convergent relationships with several young people. Such relationships are prolonged.
Extensive relationships can include:
* Relations open, romantic relations not exclusive.
* A multiplex, which means a number of romantic relationships in which sexual contact occurs only in those relationships.
* Hierarchies that support a distinction between "selective" relationship (s) and "secondary (s)" relationship (s).
* Group relationships or marriages , in which all the people concerned consider themselves to be equally interrelated with all others.
* Related networks.
Most raiders think honestly is a fundamental part of love. The currency "do not ask, not to say" they often despise and many multimembers emphasize the importance of communication in good relations. You can even get rid of and be glad that a loved one has a similar relationship with another person(s).
Unlike polygamy, plurality does not necessarily require a marriage, although some stomachs do not marry. Multimony does not concern sexuality, and in many cases, there is generally an emotional connection. Most young people define faith as a limitation of individual commitments sex to only one person; Most raiders define faith as immensity and respect for their promises.
The model of multimony questions the exclusiveity of due relationships (monogamy) and claims that people can have relationships with several people at the same time.
Generally
People who define themselves on a multimedia basis, think it can be a relationship with several people at the same time. They criticize the idea that divinity or marriage is the only possible way of living. Love is, according to them, not a limited substance that suffers only for one person, but it can in a completely individual way appear in relation to every human being.
Extremacy is defined by the emotional side of relationships. In the center, then, not the experience of sex, which, however, as in any relationship - can play and play a vital role.
As conditions for prolonged relations are often called absolute sincerity between the participants and mutual agreement (the text "Poliamo para stultuloj" is a good example for that). Due to this, in the concept of plurality there are no hiding lovers and lovers. You are legitimately and wish to have a large number of relationships, to develop yourself. To people who like it, they can be related to the increasingly appropriate and appropriate measure of sympathy and privacy. If you experience emotional feelings to more than one person, you do not have to deny that. Jealousy and losses often appear on people who have chosen this relationship, and they do not have to deny them too. But they are trying to make sure that they do not decide on the action, otherwise they can easily be destructive for relationships.
Unlike monogamy, there is no reason to stop a relationship, if the partner has one or more additional amusements with different intense.
But environmental relationships can also mean a considerable emotional stress, if there are conflicts between the partners or jealousy. People who have not previously wanted and consciously chose such a relationship, often do not resist such stress situations.
Forms
Extensive relationships can exist in many different forms, because every single relationship is unique and can be distinguished from others. Sometimes there is a combination between pairs that live together, in which, however, each of the two partners also has less intense or dense amrilage ( open marriage ). It can also happen that a group of people form an exclusive network in which they have only one-to-one relationships. There are also partnerships between more than two people, relationships of people who do not co-operate with someone, to extended friendships. Many of these relationships are very long-term.
Extremacy like subculture
Practically pluralism is currently a sub-culture that organizes itself as a small minority in part with a lively interchange on the internet (newsgroups, mailing lists and more and more blogs), in part by regional meetings. A relatively high part of members of this subculture is bisexual , but all sex orientations are present. A large proportion of the members of this subculture talk about the workplace at an outsider about their relationship and, in many cases, have good experiences. It is not advised without such reverence.
Sexual identity
If a person discovers temperament as a need or as an alternative, it can lead to sexual identity. Inverse, abundance is given to people with a weak sexual self or role definition (cp. Judith Butler, "Gender Trouble") the ability to become involved in fixed partnerships without leaving unwanted or having to repress parts of their own sexuality. Both - Gender Trouble and plurality - often encounter incomprehension: These concepts need to be generally more intense explanations and often cause aggressive refusal to people who idealize the monogamous divorces and solid sexual identity as a solely accessible life and love form. In this regard - due to ignorance and / or due to general refusal of the concepts - Gender Trouble is often confused or identified with bisexuality and plurality with more widely-expanded non-monogamous practices of the western culture space as a partner exchange.
Terms
Multimony is expressed German by Polyamorie , in English by polyamory , French polyamor .
The notion of polygamy is confined and does not confuse with plurality. The clearest difference is that the plurality is not linked to the institution of marriage and that the partners do not have to be married. Multitudes dislocate from partner change by leading the sex plane there, while in the amount of emotional connection the center is centered. However, part of the human beings in relation to relationships is considered such an arbitrary distinction.
Literature
It is affirmed that plurality is based on the free love, which is based on the Charles Fourier's new "ammondo" work in 1820.
Two utopian stories, which are often referred to as influential on the development of the continual subculture in the United States, are "Stranger in a Strange Land" and The Harrad Experiment" by Robert A. Heinlein.
The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities of Dossie Easton and Catherine A. Liszt, published in 1998 and Polyamory in the 21st Century: Love and Intimacy with Multiple Partners of Deborah Anapol, belong to the most well-known modern books.
The Ethical Slut leads the aspects of confidence, partnership, love and in particular a community as advisory parts of life-longness. Additional advice books are "Redefining our Relationships" by Wendy-o-Matic and "Lesbian Polyfidelity" by Celeste West (which is also interesting for alisexuals).

Multitude compared to "free love"
At the moment, in - itself positive - notion free love is occupied, in the German-language space, of the "Center for Experimental Societatization", according to the German name ZEGG, which advocates non-monogamous relations (and, unlike plurality, it is considered Them "better", but as a big community, the community's idea is very important). Elections of the ZEGG believe that non-exclusive relations are only stable in a large number of living communities. The experiences of the under-sub-culture do not confirm that. The ZEGG is still challenged, in its 1970s roots, the Friedrichshof Community around Otto Mühl, which has been very authoritatively structured; Mühl was imprisoned and convicted of rape to non-adult. In spite of this, the ZEGG has in Germany, as an experimental site for an unexpected living of sex and tenderness, a certain importance and is also popular with people who identify themselves as multimedies.
In the United States, there are also various religious communities with non-monogramic practices, eg the Oneida community.
As a diffusion of the use of the notion of free love in the 1970s, it is possible to call the diffusion criterion that non-exclusive relations in principle need the agreement of all participants, which as well stipulates the informedness of all the participants. In addition it is given to emotional aspects, such as the behavior of jealousy, much more important attention than in the 1970s.
