An open relationship is an interpersonal relationship in which the parties want to be together but agree to a form of a non-monogamous relationship.〔 This means that they agree that a romantic or intimate relationship with another person is accepted, permitted, or tolerated. Generally, an open relationship is when the parties involved have two or more romantic or sexual relationships occurring at the same time either as a short-term relationship, such as dating, or a long-term relationship, such as marriage.〔 The concept of an open relationship has been recognized since the 1970s. ==Types of open relationships== To a large degree, open relationships are a generalization of the concept of a relationship beyond monogamous relationships.〔 A form of open relationship is the open marriage, in which the participants in a marriage have an open relationship.〔 There are several different styles of open relationships. Some examples include: * Multi-partner relationships, between three or more partners where a sexual relationship does not occur between all of the parties involved.〔 * Hybrid relationships, when one partner is nonmonogamous and the other is monogamous.〔 * Swinging, in which singles or partners in a committed relationship engage in sexual activities with others as a recreational or social activity. The term open relationship is sometimes used interchangeably with the closely related term polyamory, but the two concepts are not identical. The main unifying element to open relationship styles is non-exclusivity of romantic or sexual relationships. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Open relationship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
