Comments like, "This is a polyamory group, not a polyfuckery group," or "Yeah, it sounds like they are just a swinger, not polyamorous at all," abound. 

The original definition of polyamorous, by the people who coined the phrase in modern times and put it into popular circulation (Oberon Zell and Morning Glory Zell) is: 

> POLYAMORY: (Greek poly = many; Latin amor = love) The practice, state or ability
of having multiple lovers at the same time.

Lovers. 

People who love. 

Lover: a partner in a sexual or romantic relationship outside marriage.

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that swingers and poly folk are the same. They're not. The culture is radically different. 

However, if you were to ask the average human on the street, they would not see the difference. Swingers and poly folk are all going outside of monogamy, and that's bad, mmmkay? Moreover, they see it all as cheating.
