    Fun and Frolic With Long-Term Love

    Ejection fraction is how much of the blood within the heart gets squeezed out with each pump of the heart. It basically tells you how strong the pumping is. Normal is something like 50 to 65%. Hope your dad feels better, BB.

    Pets

    They are really good friends, but only together when I'm around. The boy is a very persistent humper which annoys the girl, and the girl destroys the boy's bedding which he needs because of his sensitive feet. They do snuggle a lot though. I'm super impressed that all your bunnies are living so...

    I love to hear of old bunnies! Mine are 8 and 6 and I am hoping they make it that long! Are yours bonded?

    Kevin's Hetero MFM Poly-Fi V

    I grew up in a very brain-wash-y church and a lot of what you're saying resonates with me. I find that it is easier to get the hooks out of your brain than your heart. It's one thing to realize that the "facts" you've been taught don't make any sense when compared with the evidence present in...

    Partner wants blackout dates for BF

    I remember telling my ex-GF when we were going through a rough time "If you're going to break up with me, just don't do it in the few weeks before boards." (she didn't) While I took the veterinary-doctor boards not the human-doctor ones, I cannot even start to explain how stressful they were...

    Polyamory and Virgins

    If the woman has her tubes tied, or has had a hysterectomy, and therefore has no chance of getting pregnant, is it still sex? If a tree falls in the forest...

    Holy crap... I have two husbands... when did that happen.

    I'm so sorry about your dog. And I know from experience, how hard it is to euthanize a pet and then go to work at a vet clinic the next day. I hope you and your family are doing okay.

    And then there were three...(this is a stream of consciousness)

    As far as the rings, maybe she could wear a couple of rings on various fingers and a non-wedding ring on that finger. From what I can tell it is pretty normal for people that like rings, to occasionally wear them on the "ring" finger. Either that or wear a band-aid and say she cut herself...

    Men vs. Women and "poly"

    I never got the whole playing games thing, but I don't see why it SHOULD be the female initiating ABC or it SHOULD be the male pursuing XYZ. There is way too much individual variation to try to pin certain relationship roles on certain genders - even more so when you have more than two people...

    Can you just turn off your phone after a certain time?

    Polyamorous just in words or actions too

    I can identify a little with Maca because I tend to do the same thing when I am struggling with something - I am ok with it in theory and then when it's happening in real life I have a harder time dealing with it. In my brief and disastrous poly relationship I ended up with a big difference...

    Charting new territory...

    I think jealousy can stem from insecurity - so if you are insecure about a given relationship, you are afraid of losing it, and so you are upset (jealous) by something that appears to threaten it. I think the best cure is addressing the insecurity itself... if you figure out what aspects of the...

    Threesome As First Sexual Experience

    An old roommate of mine had his first sexual experience in a MFFF foursome. Pretty sure he didn't regret it ;) but that was more of a drunk casual sex thing and I don't think he knew any of them. I think what matters is that you trust the person / people involved and that everyone is safe and...

    Heartbreak: 2 GirlCaleb: 0

    Just a spelling correction: man with multiple wives is polygyny. someone should probably put up a good definition of polyamory so it's all in one place.

    The Polly Roller Coaster

    P2, I may end up getting into my story if I get time, but in response to your question: I think this is different cheating than "regular" cheating. With regular cheating it was never ok for you to sleep with that person, so it is pretty black and white. With this situation, it was ok for you to...

    The Polly Roller Coaster

    I don't think it's anyone's fault in particular, just a situation where everyone was human and the wants/needs of everyone involved were not necessarily compatible. FWIW I've been in a really similar situation as P2 herself.

    ^I don't see why C should go to hell. I think she got as fucked over as anyone else. Hoping for peace for all of ya.

    How did I get here & Where am I going?

    I'm curious (because I've been in a situation pretty similar to yours) does the "only 3" rule mean you and your husband can't have sex without her too?
