"With polyamory, I feel like the main foundation is the freedom to be able to create a relationship style that works for you," Willow said.
Singer Willow Smith, daughter of actor Will Smith, revealed she is polyamorous on the talk show 'Red Table Talk' where she was in conversation with her mother Jada Pinkett Smith and grandmother Adrienne Banfield-Jones.
"With polyamory, I feel like the main foundation is the freedom to be able to create a relationship style that works for you. And not just stepping into monogamy because that's what everyone around you says is 'the right thing to do'," Willow, 20, said, according to a report in reports aceshowbiz.com.
Willow added, "Let's say you haven't always been the person wanting sex all the time, but your partner is. Are you going to be the person to say, 'Just because I don't have these needs, you can't have them either?`"
"That's one of the reasons why I was interested in poly because I was introduced to it through kind of a nonsexual lens."
She then admitted that she is the "only polyamorous person" among her friend group and has "the least sex out of all of (her) friends," she said. The singer also made it clear that she needs a reason greater than "I think you're cute" to walk down the aisle.
Willow has her mother's full support for her choice.
Her mother said, "I was like, `I totally get it,`. Wanting to set up your life in a way that you can have what it is that you want, I think that anything goes as long as the intentions are clear to everyone, more to yourself than anything."
What is a polyamorous relationship?
According to the Urban Dictionary, Polyamory is 'The practice, state or ability to have more than one sexual loving relationship at the same time, with the full knowledge and consent of all partners involved.'
However, society generally regards monogamous relationships as the accepted norm. Any other type of relationship is in most cases considered immoral, and even illegal, in some cultures.
