Jan identifies as a queer/bisexual/demisexual cisgender female, and their journey in polyamory is centered around embracing deep, meaningful connections with the people who truly resonate with them. Jan tends to date mostly men but also cherishes having a special woman in their life, appreciating the uniquely fulfilling energy that dynamic brings.

For Jan, polyamory isn’t about collecting partners like trophies; it's about creating space for authentic, intentional relationships. They tend to cap it at three partners, as that’s when they feel most balanced, saturated, and satisfied. Any more relationships, and it starts to feel like they’re spreading themselves too thin. Jan prioritizes quality over quantity in relationships, to Jan, should be enriching, not draining, and they take this approach to ensure a fulfilling polyamorous lifestyle.
