Whereas poly is orientational for me. I've *always* wanted to have romantic connections with multiple ladies since I first began to enjoy the differences between boys and girls. So this is one thing I'm certain about.

I do take spoonfuls of it straight up. Mild flavor of coconut and creamy smooth. I also mix it with a spoonful of raw nut butter to change the flavor (peanut butter, almong butter, sunflower butter). Sometimes add coconut flakes to it for fiber. It's all good!

Where did you get this idea? There doesn't seem to be any particular tendency toward group demographics as far as I can tell. There also doesn't appear to be any research into such things. Why would you claim this? And why would you make this claim? Most groups are plagued with drama and...

1) When involved in a situation where the health of multiple people is at stake, one doesn't have a right to avoid being identified as a person affecting the health of those others. Their right to privacy ends when it can affect my health and the health of my wife and amorata (and their other...

Y'all have to trust me that I know how cold the water is in the buckets I sometimes empty on people. The shock of that water may be the thing that finally draws attention to something I believe somebody has missed when thinking about a situation.

If you see something in a blog that you think is worth critical discussion, feel free to start a discussion on that topic on this board. A person's blog is protected from unwanted criticism; any particular scenario they blog about is not off-limits for discussion, provided it takes place...

I know what Curly says is her type--and it distinctly isn't me! When we were first corresponding (met via Yahoo Personals), she sent a message that described me to a "t"--as *not* her type. I giggled about it and then forgot it until after we started dating; she offered an apology for sending...

If he's working on something in NYC, there should be records available about it in NYC. Filings for permits or incorporation or whatever. Try to find out with whom he's going into business and see if they actually exist. If you can find anybody else whom he knows in NYC, see if you can get a bit...

Just recently got fluid bonded with new amorata by circumstance--we had technical failure with a condom and ended up swapping fluids. The twist to that is that now I use condoms with my wife, until we get the next round of testing and make certain everything is OK. That's a weird feeling for...

Oh, hell, no! The details of discussions and the sex I have are nobody's business except for mine and the other person(s) involved. I won't get involved with anybody who has a partner who expects such, nor will I get/stay involved with anybody who would expect such. I can say that no polyfolk...

We have a winner! For me, if she can't speak directly to the point about what she does or does not want, not much can happen. I don't read minds and won't attempt to do so. If asking if she wants to fuck is too much for her, I've got better things to do.

If the folks with whom you're involved claim to be in romantic relationships with you and there happens to be more than one such person, yes, you are doing polyamory. Even if that doesn't happen, you can identify as polyamorous within a negotiated monogamous relationship. I've been in mono...

I'd say the burden is on him to offer a reasoned argument as to why it would be immoral. And if he posits that monogamy is moral, offer a reasoned argument as to why it is. Nobody--meaning you--has any obligation to humor his supposition that monogamy is moral and polyamory is immoral by...

I think it sucks. That said, they can set up their relationship in any fashion they choose and nobody can gainsay it. I don't care for veto arrangements, myself, yet recognize that many folks do. It really sucks to be on the receiving end of that sort of things, though there's nothing to be...

I wouldn't agree that poly of necessity involves any emphasis on family, live-in relationships. Not in the slightest. I also don't see open as any more sex-positive than poly. There's nothing about either that is more or less sex-positive. DADT is not more sex-positive than disclosure...

In *any* relationship, whether mono or poly, you should expect to be able to discuss any issue that affects the relationship. It's a fundamental part of all healthy relationships.

There has been very little study of polyamory in any arena. I don't know of any source for information on any of that. Hell, we can't even get solid research on how many folks engage in poly.

Didn't take much time. Had intersting questions and appears to be geared to provide useful info that serves the stated purpose.

I'm listed as being in an open relationship with Curly (my wife). I just got entangled with a new partner and she is listed as a Partner. I'd like to be able to put all of my partners together in a group at the head of the family listing; currently FB just adds them to the list in the fashion it...

I don't see any unicorn in that description, so I'll guess that's just a misuse of the term. As for dealing with the jealousy issues, I'll recommend writing out some exercises. Write down a statement--as single sentence--of something that bugs you about what's going on. Then draw an arrow...
