Polyamory

Polyamory is a catch-all term for non-monogamy, open relationships, and other forms of sexual lifestyles that involve more than one partner. There are many forms of polyamory, which literally means "loving many." Healthy polyamory values ethical, consensual and responsible sexual choices.

Power Exchange / BDSM

Power exchange is a mutually consensual type of sexual role play wherein one partner has control or power over the other partner. There are many names and variations of this kind of play, including Topping and bottoming, bondage and discipline, Dominant/submissive, Master/slave, and Sadism/masochism. It may involve restriction of movement, sensory deprivation, psychological dominance, or inflicting strong sensation or pain. Power Exchange may or may not include actual genital stimulation.
