Sexual Exclusivity or Autonomy
Sexual autonomy is the need for individuals to have control over their own sexual choices, desires, and boundaries without coercion or pressure from others. In ethical non-monogamy, sexual autonomy means each partner has the freedom to pursue sexual relationships with others, while respecting the agreed-upon boundaries and practicing open, honest communication with all involved.
Example: "In my relationships, I need the freedom to explore my sexual autonomy and set my own boundaries while respecting those of my partners."
