bullet::::- many polyamorists consider "polyamorous" to be their (emotional/philosophical) "relationship" orientation (just as "gay" and "straight" are "sexual" orientations) — they identify as poly (one capable and desirous of multiple loves) — whereas "open relationship" is used as a "logistical" description: that is, it describes a particular form of relationship, sometimes employed by polys. they might say of themselves, for instance, "i am polyamorous (or "i'm poly"); my primary partner and i have an open relationship..."

chauncey's relationship with ned begins to suffer as he starts resorting to anonymous sexual encounters in parks. he starts turning away from ned, who is now more open about his own sexuality. ned asks chauncey to be monogamous for him, and chauncey initially agrees. several weeks later, however, ned finds chauncey again at the automat, looking for one-night stands. chauncey rejects ned, telling him he has lost interest in him, and that he prefers "to be used and discarded." ned, sensing the imminent shutdown of burlesque, tells chauncey he has taken a job as an ensemble member in a touring show and asks chauncey to join him as a last try at a monogamous relationship. chauncey insists the crackdown on burlesque is temporary, and that he will stay where he is. confessing his self-hatred, he rejects the offer of a monogamous relationship, telling ned, "this is not what i should be having." he kisses ned goodbye, but is (ironically) seen by a policeman who arrests him for deviant behavior in public after ned has left.
