BDSM Symbols: The meaning behind the Polyamory Symbol

Polyamory

The Polyamory emblem is a quiet declaration that love need not be confined to a single pairing. At its heart, polyamory is the art of loving more than one person openly, honestly, and with consent from all involved—a practice built on trust, communication, and deep emotional integrity.

The infinity symbol curves without end, speaking of bonds that are designed to last, no matter how they evolve. It represents the continuous flow of affection, intimacy, and commitment between partners, each relationship unique yet part of a greater whole.

The heart, placed at the centre, embodies the essence of unconditional love—love that is not diminished when shared, but rather, multiplied. It is the reminder that one can give completely without taking from another, and that devotion can exist in many forms simultaneously.

Those who wear this emblem do so with pride. It marks them as participants in a relationship structure where honesty is the foundation, jealousy is met with dialogue, and every connection is valued for the joy it brings. For some, it is romantic; for others, it is sensual, erotic, and intertwined with power exchange—but always, it is consensual.

It is worn by anyone who walks the polyamorous path, carrying the knowledge that love’s capacity is only as limited as the heart that holds it.
