Ethically non-monogamous (ENM for short) relationships are on the rise. For those not in the know, ethical non-monogamy is the practice of romantic relationships that are consensually non-exclusive. According to Tinder, Canadian users with the term “polyamorous” or “non-monogamous” in their profiles has increased 20 and 30 per cent respectively since 2021. It’s not the only app seeing a rise in non-monog dating — Bumble reports that 1 in 10 of their Canadian users had the word “polyamorous” on their profile.
