Description
Gamogamy: A Framework for Relational Identity is a groundbreaking new book that changes the way we understand love, intimacy, and connection.
In a world that divides us into “monogamous” or “polyamorous,” Gamogamy offers something radically different: a model based on orientation, not behaviour. It introduces a powerful new vocabulary… monogamous, ambigamous, and multigamous, to help individuals make sense of their inner relational wiring, regardless of how they currently live or love.
Whether you’ve struggled to feel at home in monogamy, found yourself thriving in open dynamics, or felt torn between loyalty and longing, Gamogamy helps explain why. It unpacks the difference between instinct and identity, behaviour and structure, and offers a compassionate lens for people whose needs don’t fit traditional moulds.
With vivid examples, clear definitions, and thought-provoking insights, this book is both a personal revelation and a cultural challenge. It’s not about how to do relationships, it’s about how to understand yourself within them.
Perfect for those in therapy, questioning long-term partnerships, or simply curious about how human connection really works, Gamogamy is a timely and transformative guide for anyone ready to step beyond inherited scripts and claim a relationship model that truly fits.

Educational, validating, inspiring, accepting - this book outlines the philosophy, psychology, logistics, of relationship structure in a very accessible and informative way. Whether it be monogamy, ambigamy, or multigamy, self identity always comes first. Labelling relationship styles for clarity, not for performance, this book has a great ethos around orientation and how to accept yourself, whether monogamy or otherwise is for you.
This is such an interesting and informative book that is book affirming and eyeopening. Written in a way that is engaging but easy to follow Wilding highlights how Identity should start with the self but reinforces that no matter the relation it is valid and affirmed through this work. A wonderful book that is a must read for everyone.
