Summary: A recent survey highlighted by online magazine We Heart suggests a significant generational shift in Gen Z relationships. Key findings show:
- 59 percent are open to open or polyamorous structures
- 65 percent believe these relationships offer greater romantic and sexual depth
- 72 percent say they are transparent with partners about other connections
- 85 percent would remain committed even if sexual intimacy declined
Why This Matters: These numbers tell a story: Gen Z is choosing honesty over performance.
They are trying to build relationships that match who they are and how they live. When more than half of the age cohort (people born between 1996 and 2010) say openness feels natural, it is not just a buzzy trend. They are seeking connections that are transparent and carefully crafted.
For anyone exploring Ethical Non-Monogamy, this is a reminder that you are not alone. The world is expanding, and people are giving themselves permission to design relationships that feel aligned and authentic instead of inherited.
