Agamous refers to someone who does not engage in relationships or marriage.[1][2] Agamy abandons the idea of partnership and the amatonormative relationship model. People who practice agamy may do so because they do not want to deal with jealousy, possession, abuse, and dependency may be present in relationships. Others simply enjoy being completely autonomous and free without a partner.
Agamy may overlap with relationship anarchy as agamy allows people to establish any kind of bond with the people around them without needing to label or define those bonds. Agamy also says that the idealized concept of "partner" is empty and unrealistic.
One may or may not engage in sexual relationship for the sake of reproduction or pleasure, as sex is not exclusive to relationships.
An agamous person may also identify as nonamorous or afidelitous.
