Frequently asked questions about Polyamory in Texas and beyond

What is the 100 mile rule in polyamory?

The “100 Mile Rule” is a humorous, unofficial term that’s sometimes used in polyamory and ethical non-monogamy circles. It refers to the idea that people might have different relationship agreements or more flexibility when they’re 100 miles or more away from home — like during travel, vacations, or events.

At POSH, we know that every relationship has its own unique boundaries, and for some, that might include agreed-upon flexibility while out of town. For others, the same agreements apply no matter where they are. Either way, what’s important is clear communication, mutual consent, and respect for everyone involved — not how many miles are on the odometer.

In short: The 100 Mile Rule isn’t a real rule — it’s more of a funny phrase people use to talk about negotiated boundaries while traveling. In our community, your rules are the ones you and your partners make together.

Is polyamory legal in Texas?

Yes — polyamory is legal in Texas. It’s completely legal for adults to have multiple consensual relationships at the same time. There are no laws against dating, loving, or living with more than one partner as long as everyone involved is an adult and consents freely.

However, Texas law does not recognize multiple-partner marriages. That means only two people can be legally married at a time, and marrying more than one person (bigamy) is illegal. Many polyamorous people choose to remain unmarried, or have one legal spouse while maintaining committed partnerships outside of that marriage.

At POSH, we focus on ethical, consensual relationships, and we celebrate love in all its forms — legal or not. If you have questions about how this might affect your relationships, open conversations and legal advice can help you find what works best for you and your partners.

How common is polyamory in Gen Z?

Polyamory and ethical non-monogamy are gaining popularity among Gen Z, with more young adults exploring relationships beyond traditional monogamy. While exact numbers vary, recent surveys show that around 1 in 5 Gen Z adults (about 20%) say they have tried or are interested in consensual non-monogamy, including polyamory, open relationships, and relationship anarchy.

What sets Gen Z apart? Many in this generation value authenticity, freedom, and inclusivity — which often translates to exploring love and connection in non-traditional ways. Social media, online communities, and more open dialogue around relationships have also made it easier for younger people to learn about polyamory and find supportive spaces.

At POSH, we welcome people of all ages — including Gen Z — who are interested in navigating love on their own terms in a respectful, non-judgmental environment.

What states is polyamory legal in?

Polyamory is legal in all 50 U.S. states, including Texas. There are no laws that prohibit consensual, non-monogamous relationships, so it’s perfectly legal for adults to have multiple loving partners — as long as everyone involved is informed and consenting.

However, what’s not legal in any state is being legally married to more than one person at the same time — that’s called bigamy, and it’s against the law nationwide. That said, many polyamorous people are unmarried or have one legal spouse and multiple committed partners outside of marriage. You can date, live with, and love multiple people anywhere in the U.S. — it just won’t be legally recognized as marriage.

Some cities, like Somerville and Cambridge, Massachusetts, have taken a step further by recognizing domestic partnerships with more than two people, which is a small but meaningful move toward legal recognition of polyamorous relationships.

At POSH, we celebrate consensual love in all its forms, regardless of marital status or location.
