I had made this post on r/polyamory but I was told that it shoud post it here:

And though I did get some answers, though I had made an edit that didn't get adressed. Plus the main gist of my post was about whether polyamory is necessarily romantic, or is there such thing as non-romantic polyamory.

Also as a bonus question: can queerplatonic relationships be polyamorous or is there a different label?

Also i might as well ask: is there a difference between non-monogamy and polygamy? Can I just call myself polygamous?

Copy paste of original post:

Does polyamory necessarily involve romantic love/feelings? Would a group of fwb be considered a polycule?

I'm kinda new to the idea of polyamory and I've been questioning if I could consider myself poly. The thing is that for me the ideal non-monogamous relationship would be a very close-knit friend group in which everyone is fwb with everyone else.

What makes me doubt calling myself polyamorous is the fact that I don't think I'm capable of having romantic feelings for multiple people, but I feel like I'd be perfectly capable of having multiple fwb without having romantic feelings for them.

I am able to have romantic feelings I general, but I would only be able to have them for only one person. I wouldn't mind the relationship to be semi-open sexually, in the sense that we sometimes involve other people in it as hookups or have mutual fwb. Though in a relationship like that I would only feel comfortable if both of us are involved, having one person go with people outside the relationship without the other partner being involved wouldn't be a relationship I would want; unless the other person I a fwb we both trust and already know.

The typical polyamory that I see where one has multiple romantic relationships with people that don't know eachother is not what I would feel comfortable with. I would either like a group of fwb, or a romantic relationship with one other person and fwb or hookups on the side. (edit: though I would be fine with the typical poly structure if it's fwb and not romantic partners. Is this polyamory? :end of edit)

So idk if this would be considered polyamory? Would the first be a polycule, or a type of polyamory? Would the second be an open relationship, or a semi-open one; would it be a polyamorous relationship? Does it make sense for me to call myself polyamorous or is there a better label?
