Defining Ethical Non-Monogamy and the Importance of Communication

Ethical non-monogamy is a type of freedom that prioritizes open and honest communication about one's needs and desires. It allows individuals to explore non-monogamous relationship styles while maintaining ethical boundaries and respecting their partners. Cultural approaches and experiences in ethical non-monogamy vary, and for African Americans, the history of slavery and epigenetic trauma can influence their perspectives on relationships. However, by challenging societal stereotypes and engaging in open conversations, people can work towards creating a more inclusive and understanding environment for diverse relationship styles.
