I met a very nice guy and we had a very nice couple of times hanging out. Yay! After our second time hanging out, he requested that I email his girlfriend to introduce myself, and say to her, "Thanks for letting me borrow him for a while." I agree that it's the proper thing to do, but I don't...

I suppose it's possible for a FWB arrangement to be long-term or lifelong. The one I'm currently involved in is the longest I've experienced. He's indicated to me that if he were in a Relationship, it would be mono (although he doesn't like being in Relationships and isn't seeking one out)...

Hello! I'm 26, female, and live in NJ. I identify as heteroqueer: I'm a cisgender chick who likes dick and it just goes off the beaten path from there (genderfluid, kinky, poly, childfree, ally). I'm sort-of new to poly; I was in a poly relationship when I was 19-20, and it didn't work out...

Thanks for lending me some perspective, folks! I had been feeling like maybe I was the worst person ever. I feel much better now. :)

Poly in art: here's a thread about finding a portrait of a triad at the Hide/Seek exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC... http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5374

I'm fat, and I've been actively working on respecting myself. It's been paying off. I find beauty all over the spectrum of shape and size, but fat men hold a special place in my heart. Embracing that fact has helped me feel better about myself, because if I'm so attracted to an aspect in...

Hmm. It sounds crazy, but it just might work... and considering I'm spending my Saturday night sitting around worrying about hypothetical scenarios, I don't think I'm going to be in a meet-cute anytime soon... ;)

I have a great fwb. We've been hanging out for over a year now, he's a great guy and we have good chemistry, but neither of us are willing to make the necessary concessions to mesh our lives together beyond one night a week or so. We had the talk confronting that this isn't a forever thing and...

I have a BDSM play partner with whom I've been scening with in person for the past few months (we've been talking online/on the phone for a year). We've decided that our relationship is Domme/sub, not girlfriend-boyfriend; we're not having sex with each other; and we are free to have outside...

The Smithsonian responded, hurray!

This is the photograph in question:

I don't think Ernst, Eluard, and Dali were it... I probably would have remembered learning Max Ernst was poly (I was surprised to find out during that exhibit that Jasper Johns is gay, so what the hell do I know :rolleyes:). Although that is a really interesting story, thank you for sharing! I...

Last weekend, I went to the Hide/Seek exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. This is the exhibit focusing on portraits of the LGBT community that stirred up some controversy when it opened. One of the pieces in the exhibit is a haunting black and white photograph of a...
