For me, polyamory includes any intimate, sexual, or dating relationship in which there are three or more people with the informed consent of all involved. The simplest form of this is one person who is seeing two people, but at different times and those two people don't date each other. Polygamy, in my views, is marital polyamory. I know some equate polygamy with Muslim or Mormon polygyny (the LDS church itself long ago gave that up,) and polyamory with group marriage or anything other than patriarchal religious polygny.
Incestuous relationships cause birth deformities unless of course it is same sex incest.
He's using Discredited Argument #18 to throw consanguinamorous relationships under the bus.
What is the difference identifying as a polyamory who is sexually active and having an "open" relationship?
Open means open to new lovers or dates, under mutual agreement. This can be considered a form of polymory, but not polyfidelity.
What is the difference between identifying as a polyamory who is sexually active and having friends with benefits?
Again, FWB can be a form of polyamory.
What is the difference between identifying as a polyamory who is sexually active and someone who just straight up likes to get laid?
Most people like to "get laid," right? Someone who is sleeping around without relationships isn't practicing polyamory; just nonmonogamy.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.
If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.
IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.
