    Why Poly Gets A Bad Rap

    I personally didn't find the writing very fascinating, but yeah, it makes sense what he's saying. Of course, seems a little obvious to me, but I guess some people need to have the obvious told to them about something that's atypical in society.

    "Losing" one partner while still being involved with other(s)/ dealing with grief

    I guess the same way you deal with the grief of any break-up or lost opportunity over some issue that's come up. I never really noticed a different trick or technique to it. Assuming you've been through a break up before/been turned down before, you should know how to handle it, plus you have...

    When a Unicorn Plays in Other Pastures

    Here's a thought my partner had, DaJoshy: If any woman who was with you would be so enthralled by your wonderful self/massive penis, why does it need to be a "rule" that your unicorn not date other men? Shouldn't it just work that way naturally? Also, what does it say about your wife that your...

    Is it poly if you haven't met anyone yet?

    I think it's a good idea to mention it as well, as it might become a point much later on. For example, when I first decided to try polyamory, I was single. There were a few people who were interested in me, and I told all of them before anything even remotely went down that I considered myself...

    Cheating vs. Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    Yeah, this really doesn't apply to all poly situations. There's still cheating present in mine, as if I don't tell the person/people that I'm with at the time what I'm doing, who I'm talking to (as it grows more into a serious possibility), etc., then that's dishonesty. Which, at the heart of...

    different drives with different loves

    The way I act between people seems to more depend just on who each person is, and how I interact with them as friends. So sometimes I'm more egalitarian in general, and other times more submissive or dominant with some people.

    Top Ten List

    My partner and I actually recently tried to make a top 5 list, but that was too hard so we limited it to celebrities. Still a bit difficult, as neither of us could get higher than 3. Apparently, it was too hard for us to narrow down our options, having existed polyamorous for so long.

    Spinoff - Time Sharing

    I'll echo some of the sentiment here and note that, when I was in a similar situation, the person in the hinge of the V slept in the middle, with the other two of us on either end of hir. That seemed to work pretty well. Currently, I live with the person in that hinge, who also dates another...

    What are your "What ifs"

    What if I had followed the person I'm not dating all those years ago when I saw hir walking down the street from my highschool parking lot and said hi at the local store, instead of meeting hir about a year later at a mutual friend's party. Would I have started polyamory sooner? Would I have...

    Poly Women Respond

    Interesting he would think that, as in my experience, it's usually men who can't keep things organized. Makes you think that maybe, just maybe, each person is their own person.

    Hello from New Orleans

    Hello everyone! I cam across this site while I was looking up some of the more obscure polyamory terms, and it looked like a cool place to hang my virtual hat on occasion. :) About me: I'm a woman (or somewhere near that gender identity) living in New Orleans, where I'm a film major at...
