“The word Polyamory was born in the United States in the 1990s and seems to have been introduced to Japan in the 2000s, but according to a survey conducted by critic Chiki Oginami in 2022-2023, the word Polyamory seems to be less common. Less than 10% of people know it.” (Mr. Kinoko, below)
Kinoko has lived a polyamorous life since age 28 and currently has two partners, along with several other romantic relationships.
“My partner and I get along really well, we all get together on New Year’s Day to eat hotpot. We talk regarding our sexual relationships, our fun times, and who we are dating. I feel like I’m sharing my arguments and other things with them and they understand me.
I listen to my partner so that he understands, we don’t hide anything from each other, we understand each other, but if he was cheating on me with someone else and not hiding it from me, you might be confused and worried, wondering, “Why are you keeping it secret from me now?”
It’s not like I wouldn’t get jealous if my partner said to me, “You’re dating someone like this,” but my partner and I have a trusting relationship that has lasted for over 10 years, so I have to ask them to stop thinking regarding it.”
While this type of relationship might seem unusual, Kinoko emphasizes that it requires a strong foundation of trust.
Ultimately, mutual understanding, acceptance, open communication, and trust are essential for a successful relationship, regardless of its form.
So, what are your thoughts on the video?
“I’m not trying to assume that the poster’s wife is polyamorous. On the other hand, the poster hasn’t said anything that would lead to the conclusion that ‘this is the right relationship.’ I’m sure he’s aware of this and is posting this to help others or raise awareness, but I think it’s a great thing to do. I have no intention of advocating for polyamory, I just want to see a world where people acknowledge that relationships with partners can take many different forms, whether it’s two people or three or more, and that none of them are better or worse than the other.”
If people are happy with their chosen lifestyle, they should be able to live a fulfilling life.
