Novogamy is term coined by Dr. Jorge Ferrer in his book, Love & Freedom: Transcending Monogamy and Polyamory. Ferrer frames mono/poly as a relationship style binary, similar to the traditional male/female gender binary. Ferrer then describes moving beyond the mono/poly binary as a novel and plural relational field called novogamy.
Dr. Marie Thouin descibes novogamy as “the freedom to adopt any relationship structure that suits you and your partner(s) in a consensual manner, at any given point, without binding yourself to a rigid identity or set of beliefs.”
Novogamy is similar to relationship anarchy.
I think it would be helpful to include this quote from the Beyond Monogamy article. I ended up clicking into it because the current definition isn’t super informative. Quote: “Novogamy is the freedom to adopt any relationship structure that suits you and your partner(s) in a consensual manner, at any given point, without binding yourself to a rigid identity or set of beliefs.” Source: https://www.whatiscompersion.com/marieblog/beyond-monogamy-and-polyamory-the-freedom-of-novogamy, 2nd paragraph
Great suggestion! Thank you.
