Ah ok. I'm curious about to know about your experiences being polyamorous. How did you discover you were polyamorous? What was it like to publicly confess you were polyamorous if you did? What's it like living the polyamorous life?

I found polyamory has several benefits to my mental health. It reduces anxiety - People like me tend to get really anxious when it comes to one woman. I start imagining the worst case scenarios when we're away for too long. I get paranoid and think "maybe she's talking to other men.. maybe she...

I don't think that's necessarily true. Women who idolize rappers and rock stars do it to escape from reality. They're projecting their unmet needs on them. That's why although famous people might have sex with female fans, you hardly hear about celebrities having successful relationships with...

What are your experiences with polyamory? It's unrealistic to expect your partner to be the perfect romantic partner, sex partner, wife, mother, financial partner, etc. Polyamory helps you find people who meet various needs. You can have one person who's an ideal sex partner and another person...

Why is it hard for you to publicly proclaim you're polyamorous? What are you afraid will happen?

Yea, they came across as people who were deeply hurt in their childhoods and that affected them ever since. They seemed to self-sabotage by calling themselves too small, too old, ugly, single mothers, etc. I find it ironic and sad that women with major jealousy issues ask "what does she have...

Right, passages like Deut. 15 give laws regarding multiple spouses. I heard of Lilith. It's a Jewish folk tale.

It reminds me of a situation that happened to me in the past. I had an affair with a married woman. I think that was one of the first times I realized I was not monogamous. I never felt the need to steal her away from her man. She knew how to care for my emotional needs. She was empathetic and...

How did you get involved with polyamory?

Very true. "Another man kissed 'my' wife? I'll punch his lights out!" :LOL::ROFLMAO: It baffles my mind and surprises me how husbands are so quick to punish the men having affairs with their wives, but they don't punish their wives. I think it's because they don't believe their wives are equal...

I got to know several women from dating groups. It was at a time when I thought I was monogamous. When I had time to think, I realized I wasn't. When I came out as polyamorous, i told them about it. They were shocked and deeply hurt. My ex was devastated because she wanted to get back in a...

Why do you think jealousy is common in monogamous relationships? What do you think can be done about it? I find it disturbing how common jealousy is in monogamous relationships and how dangerous it can be. People can act violently and destructive when they're jealous. In many countries, people...

Many of the arguments Christians use to say polyamory is sinful are not based on the Bible. In this post, I'll explain why. One of the most common arguments is Adam and Eve. Christians try to use Adam and Eve as a prototype for how all marriages should be. The problem is the ancient Hebrews did...

As a side note, i'm not saying you should switch to polyamory to save your failing monogamous relationship. I'm saying people should realize no one can make you 100% happy. If you want more happiness than what one person can give you, you should seek partners who can complement your life if...

Right, that's why I don't like monogamy. Humans are hardwired for polyamory. When I was monogamous, I felt like I had to fight against my own nature just to be loyal to my girlfriend. There's little to no room for change in monogamy. The relationship is based on exclusivity and a set of...

What do you think are the problems with monogamy? What are the advantages and disadvantages of non-monogamy?

Right, are you polyamorous by the way? What problems do you see with monogamy? I think the biggest problem with monogamy is the idea there's such a thing as "the right one" that's going to fulfill all of your needs. Such a person doesn't exist. I also didn't like the idea of sacrificing to keep...

Right, I think I was always polyamorous. The issue was I didn't know how to be anything other than monogamous. Society constantly put out the idea of finding "the right one" and taught you only about monogamy. Anything outside of that was frowned on and seen as "abnormal." When I looked at other...
