What is polyamory?
Polyamory is the practice of having romantic relationships with more than one person at the same time, with the knowledge and consent of all parties.
It can refer to relationships where one person has multiple partners or spouses, or where all parties are in a relationship with each other, for example in a throuple.
According to , 6.8% of people in the UK have been in a polyamorous relationship.
Sony said that the trio aren't trying to convert anyone to their way of life, but just hope to make people understand that it is possible to be polyamorous successfully.
"I think it's understandable to feel like people who are part of this lifestyle might be either greedy or unhappy because we are conditioned to think that monogamy is the way and it's difficult to think anything other than that.
The trio have no intention of hiding their relationship, but said that they get a lot of looks when they're out in public together.
However, they don't let this bother them and said that they find other people's reactions entertaining.
"We don't care what people think", said jay.
