Consensual non-monogamy (CNM), also known as ethical non-monogamy (ENM), is the practice of non-monogamous sexual relations that is distinguished from infidelity by the knowledge and consent of those involved, and from polygamy by the various partners not being in a single marriage. Forms of consensual non-monogamy include swinging, polyamory, open relationships and cuckolding fetishism.

Consensual non-monogamy can take many different forms, depending on the needs and preferences of the individuals involved in specific relationships. As of 2019, over one fifth of the United States population has, at some point in their lives, engaged in some sort of consensual non-monogamy.[1]

It is common for swinging and open couples to maintain emotional monogamy while engaging in extra-dyadic sexual relations.[2] Similarly, the friend/partner boundary in forms of consensual monogamy other than polyamory is typically fairly clear. Unlike other forms of non-monogamy, though, "polyamory is notable for privileging emotional intimacy with others."[3] Polyamory is distinguished from some other forms of ethical non-monogamy in that the relationships involved are loving intimate relationships, as opposed to purely sexual relationships.[3]
