It sounds like you think that would be too challenging, as the "hinge." You can say no, if you're not interested at this time.

Yet no one complains when we use the term monogamous to mean sexually exclusive: committed sexually to one person, even when you're not married. Gamos means marriage in Greek. So monogamous means married to one other person. Yet, when we are dating, if we are seeking a partner with sexual...

(y) Rather than The Ethical Slut, I might recommend Opening Up. Of course, you can read both, but more people find Opening Up helpful, as it gives a better overview of ENM. Ethical Slut was the first book on ENM, and better ones have come along.

Hi. It's very common to feel demoted, displaced and intruded upon when your partner's feelings for a new person seem to take priority over everything else, including you and your feelings, and your long-term relationship, and any attempt at thinking with some degree of rationality on the part of...

I just stumbled across a thread from 2013, called "Polysexual." https://polyamory.com/threads/new-to-polysexual-relationships.55553/ and

I just love shibari, and I bet with your belly it would have looked so beautiful, and felt different in your hormonal state, too! So sorry it didn't work out, Tinwen.

There is always an underdog. Gays have more rights now. They can get married. Gay Pride has gone mainstream. Now the right wing is attacking transsexual people. And "queers" (in colleges? on Reddit? Twitter?) seem to think they own the term "polysexual." So the polyamorous community can just...

Try googling "your city + polyamory" and see what pops up. Or check Facebook or Fetlife, where you can look specifically for groups in your area.

Good. Keep reading. If all you want to do is use your wife as a sex object for your own pleasure, while she wants to actually romantically love others, I think you are intrinsically incompatible. We can't change each other. We can only change ourselves.

My bf Aries is currently "shooting fish in a barrel" when it comes to women. Lots and lots of polyamorous and swinger women would drop their panties for him in an instant. And many have. He draws women like a magnet. I dunno if it's "competence." I think it's being caring, a good writer of texts...

Yes, couples (and women, sometimes) can have privileges, but couples and women aren't inherently privileged. Marriage has privileges, but you can be in a committed couple and not be married, so... Right.

My own bf is polyamorous, but dabbles in the swinging world. I still don't understand why. The two communities have very different expectations and guidelines. He falls in love with swinger women who are not interested in polyamorous-style relationships, or are only somewhat interested in them...

I remember when a few younger people came here some time ago (maybe 10 years ago?) using the abbreviation "polyam" for polyamory or polyamorous. When questioned, they said they used "polyam" instead of just "poly" because Polynesian people were already using "Poly" as an abbreviation for...
