15 Apr

Navigating the world of relationships can be a challenging and complex process. With so many different types of commitment styles and relationship arrangements, it's no wonder many of us are left questioning where we truly belong on the spectrum of monogamy, non-monogamy, and beyond. That's where the Am I Non-Monogamous Quiz comes in, helping you determine your preferences and guiding you in your journey to an authentically fulfilling love life. So, grab a cup of tea or your favorite beverage, and let's embark on this journey of self-exploration together.

Before diving into the quiz, it is essential to have a basic understanding of the different types of relationship styles and terms that may come up.

Monogamy: The practice or state of being married to or in a romantic relationship with one partner.

Non-Monogamy: An umbrella term for any relationship arrangement that goes beyond the traditional model of monogamy, including ethical non-monogamy, open relationships, swinging, and polyamory.

Ethical Non-Monogamy: A consensual agreement between partners to engage in romantic or sexual relationships with others while maintaining open communication, honesty, and respect for all involved.

Open Relationship: A relationship in which one or both partners are free to pursue other romantic or sexual connections outside of the primary relationship, with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved.

Swinging: A form of non-monogamy where individuals or couples engage in sexual activities with others as a recreational, social activity, often at "swinger" events or parties.

Polyamory: The practice of having intimate relationships with more than one partner, with the consent, knowledge, and full support of all partners involved.

Am I Non-Monogamous Quiz

Now that we have laid some groundwork, it's time to move on to the quiz. Take a moment to reflect on each statement and rate how strongly you agree or disagree on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 10 (strongly agree).
