Season 2 premieres this Thursday, 8/15 on Showtime.

I think I disagree, though I'm using 'consent' as in willingness rather than consent as in permission. Are you saying that relationships where not everyone is willingly participating should be called polyamorous?

The 5 I list aren't meant to be a complete representation. Of course there are lots of places in between them, probably further past 1 and 5, too. I was just trying to summarize the different positions I'd heard so far.

What does "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) mean to you? What does "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) mean to you? I think what distinguishes DADT from other non-monogamous relationship styles is the importance of keeping other partners hidden. Consent is (`can be) involved, but it is a generic...

The Triangle Area Polyamory group hosts a discussion group the last Wednesday of every month at the LGBT Center of Raleigh. Aug 28th event link Everyone is welcome to ask questions and share their insights and experiences. You're also welcome to just come and listen -- there's no pressure to...

"Rule" is a strong word, and when discussing this with OSO's and future potential partners, you might get better results with the word "agreement." I've found the biggest hurdle is determining whether a someone is willing to be serious about sexual health or prefers a "head-in-the-sand"...

Could we get a link to the reddit post?

IMO, educating people about alternatives is good. Being enthusiastic about your beliefs is good. Thinking your way is the right way for everyone leads to the dark side of proselytizing.

Based on feedback at Rob's amazing Introduction to Ethical Non-Monogamy talk, we hosted a group discussion a month later. Like the introduction talk, it was advertised in the Triangle Area Polyamory group, as well as Facebook and other outlets. We had about 20 people. There was no...

I'm not saying you should do what I would do, but I would find a divorce lawyer.

My advice to you is that relationships are something that are built over months and years, not days and weeks. Learn about NRE. Testing and safety are something you (ought to) think about before having sex, which is hopefully way before you think about moving in together. Rules about...

For how to find local groups, I think the best advice is at the bottom of Alan's events page at http://polyevents.blogspot.com/

Meetup.com gives you the option to keep your group memberships and interests private. If you have other concerns, please send a message to the organizers--there's a link to do so on the main page of every meetup group, even ones you're not a member of, though you do need a meetup.com account.

That's one of the complicated parts of communities that span typical social groups, isn't it? If you don't feel you fit into the "core" of the group, which in poly is typically nerdy and fringe (in my experience), then maybe you decide to never attend again. But, there are plenty of similar...
