Polyamory and polygamy are often mistaken to have the same definition. In the fifth episode of City Speaks Sex and Sexuality, the two are broken down into their key components.

Host Marlena Harvey talked with mental health intern Tristan Hartley about what polyamory is, how to explore polyamory in a healthy and safe way, and how it’s different from polygamy.

“Polyamory is actually practiced by about 5% of the population, which is the same percentage of the population that are LQTBQ+,” Hartley said.

City Speaks Sex and Sexuality episode 6 will be released Thursday May 20, at 9 a.m.
