[email protected] Biographical note: Léa Séguin completed a BA in Psychology at the University of Ottawa before completing an MSc at the University of Guelph in Family Relations and Human Development, where she conducted research on individuals’ motives for pretending orgasm. She is currently pursuing doctoral studies in Sexology at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM) under the supervision of Martin Blais. Her research interests include sexual meanings and motives, orgasm-simulation, relationship quality, and consensual non-monogamies. 1 Abstract Although consensual non-monogamies have grown in exposure and popularity among both the public and academics, they remain largely marginalized and stigmatized. While some research examined individuals’ perceptions of non-monogamies as a whole, few have focused specifically on perceptions of polyamory.
