=== Trust, honesty, dignity, and respect === Polyamory has been defined as loving more than one person at once, with respect, trust, and honesty for all partners involved.<ref name="polyoz_values">From PolyOz glossary: "Not in the [linguistic roots of the term] but very important is the commitment to honesty with all partners, and openly negotiated ground rules."

''[[Out (magazine)|Out]]'' additionally described polyamory as "not a sexuality" but as actually "having multiple intimate relationships".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.out.com/music/2020/12/03/yungblud-opens-about-sexuality-talks-male-hookups |title=YungBlud Opens Up About Sexuality, Talks Male Hookups |last=Street |first=Mikelle |date=December 3, 2020 |website=[[Out (magazine)|Out]] |access-date=December 14, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201203154115/https://www.out.com/music/2020/12/03/yungblud-opens-about-sexuality-talks-male-hookups |archive-date=December 3, 2020 |url-status=live}}</ref>
