To whom it may concern:

I hereby decree the recently-coined 'Binogamous' to be superseded by the term 'Duogamous', lest the inclusion of the prefix 'Bi-' imply a touch of bisexuality.

That is all, go about your business.

Perhaps a little clarification: last weekend we were struggling with the incongruity of using 'monogamous' to describe a sexually-exclusive 3-way relationship. We decided that the participants couldnt really be called monogamous and a new word, Binogamous, was needed.

Does that mean a couple who plays exclusively with only one other couple?

I can see you have done your homework- after all, a 4-way is the new 3-way, and 3-ways are the new single... but I was strugling for a term for an exclusive 3-way.

Well, OK. But what would you call it if you had...say...two couples and a long-haired biker?

A full house?
