What is compersion?

Compersion is the feeling of joy when your partner experiences pleasure or romance with someone else. It is often described as the opposite of jealousy, and it is considered a foundational emotional skill in polyamory and a common reward in lifestyle play. Compersion is not automatic; many people develop it slowly, encounter by encounter, as they confirm that their primary relationship is secure.
