Metamour Day
2026-02-28
NCSF created Metamour Day to honor the relationships between you and your metamours, however that might look. It is not about forced compersion. It’s about communal appreciation within our family structures and modeling positivity to the world around us. Metamour Day is a recognition of the unique and special relationships between metamours.
l Día de Metamor es una forma de apreciar el papel especial de un Metamor, la pareja de tu pareja, y de reconocer el impacto benéfico y de apoyo de la no monogamia en nuestras vidas colectivas. Se trata de una apreciación comunitaria de nuestras estructuras familiares, en lugar de una compersión forzada (lo opuesto a los celos, es una reacción emocional positiva a la otra pareja de un ser querido).

They hung a banner from the steeple which read “Our children do not want their mothers to go to jail,” and launched a media campaign to broadcast their grievances to the world. Their action made national and international news headlines, started a strike that involved sex workers from all over France, and created a legacy of activism that is celebrated each year on International Sex Workers’ Day.
