"Hey" No information on the profile. Honestly, I don't get many messages, but I do get plenty of likes from poly couples or couples looking for a HBB unicorn, which makes me feel sick. It's not a menu, folks. I just wish people would actually read my profile, and maybe not be naked in their...

While I am part of the "identity" camp, I don't want to speak for those among our number who are in the "choice" camp. Part of my realization as a bisexual woman was realizing that I was in complete denial of my sexual identity because I was a serial monogamist with many long-term...

Update: I finally asked Bob to have a real conversation with me, after trying for months to meet in person to do it. We finally cleared the air enough, I think, to save our friendship. Some of you who would like to see some artwork can find it here: Slideshow Password for the gallery is...

The retreat was awesome, but full of storms and heat. There was a bit of nudity at the retreat, which I had been cautioned about, but it was interesting to see other people who feel more comfortable in their skin than I do. I had a horrible asthma attack induced by pot smoke (I'm terribly...

Xiaobao, Some UU churches are part of the UU Welcoming Congregation program, which means the church has volunteered to try to be more inclusive and welcoming as a LGBTQ-allied church. They typically have a big sign near the door explaining that "this church is a Welcoming Congregation", etc...

Not all "25+" Pagan groups are so full of drama. I "came out" to my pagan group at the university I attend during a discussion series on rites of passage (it included "outing"). We have a policy that nothing we say leaves the room unless it's okay with the people involved, so I did tell them...

I've nearly got my save the dates done. I'm excited to get these invitations over with so I can work on new projects over the summer. In a couple weeks, I'll be going back up to northern IL for a camping trip. It's a revival really, but not a Christian one, for sure. I'm excited because it's my...

A little background: I'm in a very competitive BFA program in my university. I live in the US, so our university programs are typically four years for a professional-level degree. This spring, I went to Poland for a study abroad program for my BFA department. Our department head has connections...

OP- just how I feel about this whole thing. I don't feel superior to people who are more sexual than I am. In fact, it's quite the opposite. What I imagine is that it's a lot easier for more sexual people to test the waters. I'm so shy and my "preferential mating strategy" (for lack of a better...

I don't feel remotely comfortable with the judging tone this thread has gone into. But despite that, I feel the need to offer my opinion for some strange reason. Like Dr. Tiller, I trust women. I had my abortion four years ago on my birthday. It was a devastating experience and a decision that...

I know Kitten. They're good people. I hate seeing hateful, stupid comments like that about people I know. It's dehumanizing. If I saw one of my friends posting it from a conservative site, you betcha I'd be really vocal about it. InformingLee: Yes, Kitten and Brynn are legally married. Kitten...

I'm curious about your thoughts on loving people from a distance (physical, social, or emotional). Could include lovers, romantic interest, platonic love, kinship, etc. Mostly, I think I'm interested in the practice of love despite boundaries, when love isn't reciprocated or contact is...

This. 1000x this. But remember, that goes both ways. On another note, I am really big on condom use and STI testing. I really think you should consider getting tested, together or separate, and maybe abstain from barebacking with your boyfriend for a while. There are a wide variety of amazing...

I really do feel polyamory is a part of my sexual identity. Since I can remember, I have always been drawn to romantically love more than one person, which is what caused all sorts of confusion and anguish to me before I realized I wasn't just a serial monogamist. That is a part of me I don't...

For me, realizing that I was in love with two people at the same time was a big eye-opener about my own sexuality and my identity. In my circumstances, I was not in multiple relationships at that time, but my feelings for the other person did not lessen one bit after over a year of almost no...

Yes, it is the "elephant in the room". He's sad because no one will talk about/to him. And no, I don't know what the paper said. It was some junk mail from my university. Uh, I reconnected with a very dear friend by letter (let's call him Bob). My feelings about him and my fiance are how I...

WOAH! OP, this is not loving behavior. I'm going to go further than everyone else here... that's straight up abusive. Again, this is abusive. This is not loving, caring behavior, it's emotional blackmail. At the very least, it is extremely childish and not based in love and respect. IMO, I...

This artwork is how I chose to come out to one of my dear friends. It's a linocut print. Since the two of us have had a complicated somewhat romantic friendship in the past, I thought it was a good (ironic) way to bring some humor into my letter, whereas before we only tiptoed around the topic...

OP, I think you should be very forthright with K about what was said and what makes you uncomfortable and your fears about your relationship with K being compromised over this conflict. Veto power is one thing, but your relationship with K matters too. I believe sunlight is the best...

The first group of people I "came out" to was my current pagan group on campus. Nobody in it is poly but me, but apparently a few former students were. My experience was really supportive. Everyone handled it gracefully and understood that I'm not comfortable telling people about my identity. A...
