I have a different screen name I use on other (non-poly-related) forums, a blog, and groups. For this I wanted something new, unique, and that wouldn't come up associated with those things for privacy reasons. I've always identified with the lyrics of the Sarah McLachlan song, "Elsewhere." It...

My husband Beck and I have been together for over five years, married for three of those. We have always, even when dating, discussed involving other people in our sex life. Other than one experience years ago with a threesome, nothing ever came of it. Last year, "other people" (generally...
