Understanding Polyamory Numbers

Exploring the concept of polysaturation reveals that the number of partners can vary widely among polyamorous individuals, influenced by personal circumstances and stages in life. A 2012 survey indicated an average of over five sexual partners in the previous year, while a follow-up study in 2014 found that most polyamorous adults over 55 maintain two to three simultaneous partnerships. These insights highlight the diversity of experiences within polyamorous relationships and the complexities of defining what constitutes a partner.
