How people structure their relationships is distinct from their sexual or romantic orientation. A person of any orientation can be monogamous or non-monogamous; these are choices about relationship form, not statements about who one is attracted to. Consensual (or ethical) non-monogamy - the umbrella for any arrangement where all partners knowingly agree to multiple romantic or sexual relationships - is the key dividing line from cheating, which is non-consensual. The terms in this section describe forms, not identities. (See the Polyamorous profile for the identity dimension.)
