<!-- When adding people to this list, please make sure their polyamory is documented on their own pages (best) or via citation here. See Talk page for discussion of this. Also, note that "free love" does not always imply polyamory; sometime it was closer to "serial monogamy". There is a similar list at Open_marriage#Notable_people_in_open_marriages where people on that list are not necessarily polyamorous but are married.--> |

Revision as of 18:03, 29 May 2008
This is a list of notable and historic figures who have been polyamorous. Polyamory is the desire, practice or acceptance of more than one loving, intimate relationship at a time, with the full knowledge and consent of all involved.
Criteria
Many notable and historic figures have conducted multiple simultaneous relationships that nevertheless would not be considered "polyamorous" because of the absence of "full knowledge and consent." In Victorian England, for instance, the difficulty and stigma of divorce often left a rich man's wife little choice but to tolerate his mistresses, who themselves might be dependent on him for financial support. Such relationships are not included in this list.
Because of the difficulty in distinguishing between romantic historic relationships and sexual relationships between friends, this list takes a broad construction of "polyamory" that includes the latter. For more specific information, see individual pages and the external references.
