What is the difference between ethically non-monogamous and polyamorous?

Ethical non-monogamy is an umbrella term, and polyamory is just one way to practice it. Polyamory is having intimate relationships with multiple people at the same time. In other words, you can have more than one romantic partner at the same time. Polyamory is a form of ethical nonmonogamy — but its not the only form.
