Pretty much as the title really. What’s the difference between someone in a polyamorous or open relationship, or a Hotwife?
To my mind, not a lot? Maybe a hotwife is about doing it to turn the husband on? Is there more to it?
This is a genuine question.
I know someone who is poly (and very nice she is too!) - she likes to send pics of her exploits to hubby. Does this make her a hotwife? |

The key part of overlooked in discussions of polyamory is the amory part. It's about forging romantic/emotional interpersonal connections with more than one partner. That's distinct from being in a relationship with negotiated consent to seek further sexual interaction. |

Chalk and cheese.
And cheese.
Polyamoury (as stated above) is more centred around the love and romantic connection between 3 or more people, often as part of a long term relationship.
Hotwifing is more about the female in the relationship effectively having the freedom to have sex with whomever she chooses whilst still maintaining the romantic relationship with her significant other.
Open relationship would be as above but both sides would have that consensual freedom to explore sex outside of the relationship.
I appreciate there are far more intricacies to all of these, but without getting too wordy...that's the nutshell version. |

OP without going into definitions it might help you to think of these concepts/dynamics as distinct but also very often overlapping.
I'd say hotwifing is by definition a type of open relationship, but not all open relationships are hotwifing (even if they look like it from the outside - that's for the people in it to identify as IMO). Polyamory can be an open relationship or a closed relationship, and must involving some type of emotional/romantic investment. But eg. some poly people are also into casual sex, hotwifing, or whatever. Not everyone's practice falls neatly and exclusively into these concepts  |
