I had a read at last and the Huffington post article is still a little bit of caricature to me. But the Salon, I would mostly agree with.

Thank you for your understanding and support. I really appreciate it.

I'm just trying to give whatever clue I find could be of interest in trying to explain why the image of the French is that of an accepting country when the reality of individual lives is not so much. Some of these clues, like the fact that it's easily accepted in the public sphere because...

Er... Ok.

Yes, I don't think what I'm describing is polyamoury, which is why I've used the terms non-monogamy or open relationships. Some of these scenarios are possible GalaGirl, while a deep love connection/ "soul mate" scenario is going on with my current partner: casual sex, FwB, these two at the...

Ok, let me gather my bits of brain because my head's just exploded. :D :p So I... don't really know what all this is to the point that I can go A Vs B so masterfully as you do! I said "monoamorous" seemed to resonate better with me because I'd prefer to have a strong love bond (being "amorous")...

Thank you so much, Al, for taking so much time to reply very thoroughly. This is a huge help for me. The first sentence I quote from you is totally where my fear lies at the minute. I need to see where it comes from (I think I know and I've given some clues in my previous replies) and I need to...

:eek: You are the most perceptive bunny in the universe of bunnies. Maybe it's because you've recognised a peer worshiping the moon :) I've identified myself to others as a lone wolf many times and an equal number of times as a neo-nomad, because unlike traditional nomads who move about with...

Wow. Ok. Loads to answer... So maybe I'll skip a lot of things but I'll hopefully address the stuff that needs to. And thank you all for your input and help! It's super important to feel welcome and supported and not judged or criticised. :)

This is a good point actually: France has been fiercely secular as a state since the French Revolution and various laws have reinforced this important aspect of the culture since then. Which means religion is always a private matter in France (of course less and less so these days where...

I did my best but this is really not scientific at all and there must be proper sociology studies out there. I still haven't found the time to read the articles but I will. Yes, I reckon, DADT is the type of agreement that I heard the most about, when agreement there is. But it's rare to hear...

Thank you all for your welcome! :)

Hi, I've been pointed in the direction of this thread by Shaya because I'm a native French and, Shaya, you seem to say one of the few or possibly the only one here (probably not the only one - frogs can hide in small corners and camouflage quite well). A disclaimer is needed first: I'm French by...

Thank you both for pointing me in that direction. I'll have a read. (So much reading: books, forum posts, websites, blogs...! *Overwhelmed* :D) Also, side-note: I was listening to an episode of Polyamoury weekly where the guest (Mollena Williams) coined the term monoamoury to describe her own...

Thank you Al. And thank you Vanillabean for your post and for the resources. So, Al, I read your introductory post and ... ...could you talk me through what your view was before and what it was after, in your own words, as a mono, to see if any would click for me? Can I also ask you: what...
