Open Non-monogamies

Abstract

This chapter discusses the recent literature1 on open non-monogamies, or non-monogamous arrangements that are known about by, at the very least, all the involved intimate partners. (This specifically excludes a consideration of the growing parallel literature on secret non-monogamies (e.g. infidelity adultery and cheating) addressed in relation to monogamy and marriage in Ziegler, Conley, Moors, Matsick, & Rubin, Monogamy, this volume.)
