“Relationship Anarchy- it’s a philosophy that provides a construct for
the most consensually-based relationships. Whereas the act of applying labels
like ‘monogamy’, ‘primaried’, ‘polyamory’, and so forth, is about defining what
we have with someone (sometimes with the belief that by defining something we
preserve it, a notion I don’t personally buy into anymore), Relationship
Anarchy is a conversation about, “Where are we right now?” and “Who are we
today?” and “What’s real for us in this moment?”” ~Mel Mariposa Cassidy
‘Relationship Anarchy’- Is it just another label en
vogue, or something that goes beyond labels? Is it only for polyamorous people,
or can you be a relationship anarchist and still have sexually fidelitous and
monogamous relationships? (The answer to that is – yes!) How does Relationship
Anarchy apply to the forming and maintaining of community and tribe? And what
does this all have to do with the emerging trend towards promoting Consent
Culture and new paradigms for communities?
Relationship anarchy (abbreviated RA) is the practice of forming
relationships that are not bound by rules aside from what the people involved
mutually agree on. If a relationship anarchist has multiple intimate partners,
it can be considered as a form of polyamory, but distinguishes itself by
postulating that there need not be a formal distinction between sexual,
romantic or platonic relationships.
Relationship anarchists look at each relationship (romantic or
otherwise) individually, as opposed to categorizing them according to societal
norms such as 'just friends', 'in a relationship', or 'in an open
relationship'.~ Wikipedia
