I think so long as there's an emotional attachment with all individuals involved, it's polyamory. Sex is fine.
"Who is the covetous man? One for whom plenty is not enough. Who is the defrauder? One who takes away what belongs to everyone. And are not you covetous, are you not a defrauder, when you keep for private use what you were given for distribution? When some one strips a man of his clothes we call him a thief. And one who might clothe the naked and does not—should not he be given the same name? The bread in your hoard belongs to the hungry; the cloak in your wardrobe belongs to the naked; the shoes you let rot belong to the barefoot; the money in your vaults belongs to the destitute. All you might help and do not—to all these you are doing wrong." - Basil of Caesarea

I'm not saying it's required, just that its presence wouldn't exclude it from being polyamorous.

Yeah, I really wouldn't fancy it. It's hard enough trying to keep track of one woman's needs and wants, let alone several. Not to mention how jealous I'd be if she had other partners.

Don't know of it counts but tqo of my friends on this game Ono and Sul were dating. I liked both quite a lot, but both of them wanted a 1 on 1 relationship. So I asked if I could be in their relationship as a "pet" which would allow me to stay with them and be able to show them both love...not as far as I would like, but it's something.

Polyamoury is fun. There are probably only very few people I'd be monogamous for and Ultimately I don't think I'd be happy over the long term so I generally avoid it. but been in a Poly relationship for must be about 4 months now and it's going pretty great. So... Yay polyamoury!

Just because it seems pertinent, some of us only see sex as one of many ways to share affection. Just body movements like any other but different in their own way. Friction triggering hormone release aren't sacred. :)

Also it's illegal to be married and share your house with someone else with whom either part has a romantic/sexual relationship with. Single people can do whatever they want.

No, if it is strictly a sexual relationship then it isn't polyamory. Sex can be a part of polyamory, but romantic involvement is a required component. Simply having a couple of friends you have sex with isn't polyamory.

Definitions matter. If you're saying "amory" and not "sexuality" then it's pretty clear that you're talking about feelings and not strictly sexual activity. :)

If certain couples want to do it, that's fine so long as both consent.

As for me, I know I could never do it.

I have no intrest in a poly relationship simply because I'd feel that I would have to share my emotions with more than one person and that's something I don't want to do. That said I truly don't give a fuck if you are in a romantic relationship with more then one person.
