Compersion, also called the "opposite of jealousy," may be described as a feeling of joy or of other positive emotions experienced when you witness or are aware of your romantic partner sharing in romantic or sexual intimacy with another. The term compersion was likely coined by the Kerista Commune in the 1970s specifically to talk about polyamorous relationships. Though the concept of vicarious or shared or universal joy may feel new to some, compersion is not actually a new idea. Still, we can do more today to spread the language of joy resonance and shared joy, to increase people's awareness of compersion. And we can do so in many ways. How have you helped spread the language of compersion?

The heart is looking toward a pair of smiling hearts that are sharing love in the form of another smaller, bright red heart between them. Text reads: "compersion" at the top, and below, "The opposite of jealousy. Postive feelings about your partner's other intimacies."]
