Hi all, EmptyCloud here. I'm not new to poly conceptually, but I am new to the romantic implementation of it.
I am (mostly) straight, with a (usually) straight partner. I first learned about the poly world and its sister concepts (CNM, ENM, swinging, open relationships etc.) from my partner, and I've developed quite an enthusiasm for it.
We have a toddler together, she is our first. We are not married, but we have one of the strongest and healthiest relationships I've seen among anyone I know, except maybe one or two.
We haven't entered into a romantic relationship with anyone else, either individually or together, but we've had a lot of awesome sexual experiences with multiples, all men. We're not opposed to other women, but as I am (mostly) straight and he is somewhat shy, there haven't been as many opportunities for that. I've had experiences with women prior to him.
I really like to challenge my own beliefs, assumptions, and behaviours, and I usually end up thinking a LOT about something before firmly standing behind it, and over the years non-monogamy has become one of those things that I firmly believe in, in the sense that I don't believe monogamy is appropriate to be enforced or the assumed default.
You may have noticed already (with the extra "u"'s) that I have a Canadian slant to my words...and you would be correct
