A polycule is a group of people who are involved in romantic, sexual, or platonic relationships with each other, and the term is a combination of the words "polyamory" and "molecule".
Polyamory: The practice of being in more than one romantic relationship at the same time.
Molecule: The way that atomic bonds connect atoms in a molecule.
The term "polycule" is used to describe the dynamics of multi-partner relationships, rather than the sexual or romantic aspects themselves. People in a polycule are often closely involved in each other's lives, and may even live together. Polycules can vary in size, from a small group to a large network, and they can change over time as relationships start and end.
Here are some things to consider when being part of a polycule:
- Transparency: Be open with each other about how often you want to see each other, how often you want to spend time together in a group, and how you want to define the romantic and sexual aspects of your relationships.
- Group dynamics: Decide what kind of relationships you want to have with everyone else in the polycule.
- Meeting partners: Decide whether you want to meet your partner's other partners.
- Egalitarianism: Try to maintain an egalitarian structure between partners.
- Check your ego.
