Over a year ago, the largest survey to date of polyamorous people was conducted by Loving More (http://www.lovemore.com/),with the endorsement of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom https://www.ncsfreedom.org/) (NCSF). Here's what came of it.
Based upon these survey results, the [polyamorous community] is significantly more educated, with a Bachelor’s degree being the most commonly-held degree, while a high school diploma is the most commonly-held degree among the general US population.
On the polyamous freedom to marry....
LM 2012 respondents were asked, “If it were legal, would you be open to being married to more than one person concurrently?” Nearly two-thirds (65.9%) of respondents answered “yes,” 19.7% answered “not sure,” and 14.4% answered “no.”
Poly people should have their right to marry and to have those marriages treated equally under the law.
Again to no one’s surprise, LM respondents reported more frequent sexual activity and with more partners than the general population. This was true across genders, lifespan, and behavioral sexual orientations between the LM population and the general population.
Poly people got it goin' on! Unfortunately, poly people face discrimination...
The Summary says...
LM respondents were significantly more likely (28.5%) to report having experienced some form of discrimination compared to the general US population (5.5%) and more than twice as likely than African Americans within the US population (12.8%). These results were similarly significant when analyzed by gender and sexual behavioral orientation. Ambiguity about having experienced discrimination is far more common among the LM population (18.4%) as compared to the general US population (0.13%) and among African Americans surveyed in the GSS (0.0%).
Compared with the general adult population represented by the GSS, the LM sample is younger, more educated, happier, healthier, and more sexually active with more people.
I've said it before... polyamory isn't for everyone, but it is for some. Many people thrive in polyamorous relationships. Poly people should be free to share love, sex, residence, and marriage without prosecution, bullying, or discrimination."item"'>Over a year ago, the largest survey to date of polyamorous people was conducted by Loving More (http://www.lovemore.com/),with the endorsement of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom https://www.ncsfreedom.org/) (NCSF).
