Polyamory is the practice of forming emotional bonds equivalent to lovers with more than one person. Dating, sleeping with, possibly living with multiple people at the same time.
An open relationship amounts to swingers. Swingers are people who are free to take sexual partners other than their primary partner. The most common occurence of this is a married couple whom begin to take other sexual partners. This is done with the agreement and acceptance of both spouses and is usually mutual though sometimes one spouse or both will have other partners separately from their spouse.
