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I hereby decree the recently-coined 'Binogamous' to be superseded by the term 'Duogamous', lest the inclusion of the prefix 'Bi-' imply a touch of bisexuality.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

Excuse me, but your preconceptions are showing ;-)
a triple requires different terms for the same concepts. Duogamous is a 'monogamous' built for three.
