Polyfidelity (also sometimes called polyexclusivity) is a form of polyamory where all members are considered equal partners and agree to be sexually active only with other members of the group. The term originated in the Kerista Village commune in San Francisco which practiced polyfidelity from 1971 to 1991.〔(Polyfidelity ) - Journal of Family and Economic Issues. August 1981, Volume 4, Issue 3, pp. 373–392〕 The community expected all of its members, within bounds of gender and sexual orientation, to be sexually active with all other members, and for exclusive relationships not to be formed. However, this aspect of polyfidelity is not always expected today. Polyfaithful relationships are, like monogamous relationships, ''closed'' in the sense that partners agree not to be sexual outside the current members of the group. The difference is that more than two people are included in the closed group. New members may generally be added to the group only by unanimous consensus of the existing members, or the group may not accept new members. Previous to the Kerista Village experience, people would have likely called this arrangement "complex marriage"〔in the mid-19th century, complex marriage in the Oneida Commune implied having several partners but not that one had to be with every member of the commune.〕 or simply a "group marriage." Indeed, one might think of polyfidelity as being very much like monogamy except that it may include more than two people (and may or may not be open to adding new members). The modern, broader term ''polyamory'' was coined later, in the early 1990s. 〔 〕 ==Advantages== One commonly cited advantage of this form of polyamory is the ability to fluid bond among more than two people while maintaining relative safety regarding STDs, so long as any new members are sufficiently tested before fluid bonding with the group, and keep their commitments. This would have health advantages similar to monogamy, although risks rise somewhat with each person added. Others seek emotional safety from the relatively closed nature of the polyfaithful commitment. 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「Polyfidelity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
