Tons have people have commented about how your husband may not know he is doing something that is hard for you. I think that's a fair assessment. And if so, why not just ask him about it? If you said he could be friends with this person, he really may think he is just being friends. And, of...

Time time time. And masturbation. Seriously, I think I crush out on about every third person I meet, but it usually dies down after a few interactions... and then new friends! In my relationship, flirting and flings are no big deal (as opposed to actually seeing someone consistently, which...

"No, no. Mostly meth. And if you haven't seen Twilight deep in a K-hole you haven't seen it. How do you feel about teeth on your partners- necessary or a rare bonus? Hit me up babes!"

Not to be the naysayer/finger-wagger here, but... I'd argue the problem has less to do with songs not being about poly, and more about most songs being poorly written. Pretty much any love song containing the words "forever" or "one and only" that is not told from a (specifically intended) very...

For what it's worth, no one in my family knows and I'm okay with that. I was with my primary for about three years before we opened up, and she was very much aware and involved (if not part of) my family. At that point, I considered my options in that sense and decided there was no reason to...

I love the term "greater vintage". That's what is interesting to me. I've known plenty of people that have been (for lack of a better term) "free-love", and occasionally their definitions sync up wonderfully with mine, but I'm amazed at how well the entire term "poly" has made it around. Even...

Oh sure. Those are, to some extent, what I'm talking about (although I've never been to a burn). More specifically, the groups within them. Dragoncon, for instance, has tons of polys, but it also has tons of people. I'm just curious why certain specific groups seem so into it. And as for...

Okay, so here's something I'm curious of everyone's take on. I'm sure there's a thread somewhere about some of this stuff, but hey, I'm lazy. So, I grew up in a relatively traditional area (Kentucky), playing punk rock and hanging out with the rock n' roll scene. Despite the sex & drugs...

These are difficult concepts to express in a second language, so, first of all, good job. If I'm reading you right, it seems like you're having trouble with being interested in too many people at once - or rather wanting a relationship with multiple, multiple people, but not knowing if that is...

Bingo! Well played.

Yeah! Yeah! Atom tattoos! The atom I have is a bit more, um, traditional...but still! Yeah! Please excuse the very blurry photo made with my very old, terrible camera. Bonus points and a prize to anyone who can identify the atom. I'm actually part of this local poetry/tattoo project...

There are certainly some bad teachers who put a quick end to the curiosity in their student base. I had a teacher in middle school literally pull me aside and inform me that (no joke) I was not allowed to READ anymore because the books I wanted to read (taken from the school library, at that)...

I'm a pretty-much-straight male in a not-actually-married-but-basically-married open relationship. Not really interested in defining sexuality/gender because it all seems like a big amorphous blob to me. However, in the interest of maintaining this fantastic array of dazzling portmanteau and...

Not that I have the kind of experience (poly chops?) of many of the people on here, but I think every bit of the above information is right on. I think a really significant point the other folks have made is setting a time frame. It's a fine idea to put any real decision making off for the...

It just means I reserve judgment until you have. Though, honestly, I'm not sure why I even care about Jaws. It's a nice old-fashioned adventure yarn, and it is a good flick, but it's not even my favorite. I think I just decided one day that Jaws needed a hype-man, and that I was the one to do...

Wait, wait. Why is it that whenever I talk to anybody about taxidermy, there's always one person who asks if I'm a hipster? Taxidermy is hip?!? ....although I do have a hedgehog to stuff, and it might look good with an ironic mustache and a fixed gear bike... Thanks for the warm welcome...

I was thinking about hyenas...? I like hyenas okay. Nice patterns. Kinda scary. I used to use 'Bone Mother' as a user name (it's the nickname for Baba Yaga, the witch from Russian folklore), but then I realized that it was a rather odd name to use on any kink/poly site. Not trying to give...

Top 4 of December: 1) Future of the Left - Robocop 4: Fuck Off, Robocop 2) Nina Nastasia - In The Evening 3) Tin Hat - Buffalo Bill 4) Gaza - Mostly Hair and Bones Now nb. would make a terrible playlist.

As the title says, hello hello. My name is Joe. I am (obviously) new. I will either A) start posting here all the time and being a productive, thoughtful member of the forum, or I will B) totally forget it by tomorrow. I figure an introduction might be a good way to push myself towards the...

Hello, ya'll. I'm new to the forum and (relatively) new to the scene. I looked around a bit to find a thread about this particular situation, but I didn't see anything specifically. I wonder if you folks have any words of wisdom in this scenario. Sorry if this is long, I'm bad at being...
