free-love
Romance without constraints
Free-love is the practice or advocacy of sexual relationships without marriage or long-term commitment, based on mutual attraction rather than social or legal obligation.
The term emerged in the 19th century among reformers who rejected traditional marriage as oppressive.
It saw revival in the 1960s counterculture: a free-love commune, the free-love movement.
