May 2024 study on compersion

Today I came across a study on compersion:

• Flicker, Sharon M.; Sancier-Barbosa, Flavia (2024). "Your Happiness Is My Happiness: Predicting Positive Feelings for a Partner's Consensual Extra-Dyadic Intimate Relations". Archives of Sexual Behavior. 53 (3): 941–958. doi:10.1007/s10508-023-02766-5. ISSN 0004-0002.

That study is behind a paywall, but there is a freely accessible article about it:

• Dolan, Eric W. (2024-05-04). "Study identifies key factors boosting compersion in non-monogamous relationships". PsyPost - Psychology News. Retrieved 2024-05-17.

I am at a film festival, so I am a bit busy this month & hoping someone else can attend to this. Peaceray (talk) 22:16, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Exploring Pioneers in Polyamory

I came across this. I am not adding it to the article, but I thought it might be of interest to other editors.

Changing the not-so-good wikilinking to something more appropriate

This phrase is problematic: with the informed consent and consensus of all partners involved.

• The first linked article is about medical consent. Informed consent starts with:
  • This article is about consent to medical or research procedures. For consent in other contexts, see Consent. For the House episode, see Informed Consent (House).
  • Its first two sentences are Informed consent is an applied ethics principle that a person must have sufficient information and understanding before making decisions about accepting risk. Pertinent information may include risks and benefits of treatments, alternative treatments, the patient's role in treatment, and their right to refuse treatment.
• The second, consensus, links to a disambiguation page.

I think that the consent article covers the meanings to which the article alludes. I am therefore boldly changing it to:

• with the consent of all involved partners.

About that pic with two man and a woman

picture with the girl hugging a man and sneakly being hand in hand with another is easily mistaken as a cheating instead of CNM. I believe it has been uploaded by a troll. Must be substituted with another which is appropriate. This one has never been a symbol of polyamory ~2026-20885-49 (talk) 10:16, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

What evidence do you have that the user is a troll? Just curious. That image was the user's only upload, and they've been on Wikimedia for years. I'm not sure which other images would be better, if the image was to be replaced. There's "Homosexual group marriage" [also uploaded in 2017] off two women and two men, images of Michael McClure and Kamala Devi (and others) here and here, three stick figures holding hands, and a bunch of protest images. I'm not sure if any of the others are better than the existing one though. Historyday01 (talk) 11:54, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
