RacingSnail is on track to have his whole present before his birthday. I hadn’t reckoned with the laser-like focus of his cleverness! It all seems to be going very well, though. Not too difficult, not too easy. He did the 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle in one night, though, and thanks to not sleeping...

The important thing to me was to be out in other parts of my life, so I didn’t saddle my kiddo with a secret. Luckily we live in a very liberal area, and my husband’s job is no problem, so the only area I really needed to attend to was my relatives. I didn’t make a big deal out of telling her...

I am so damn excited. I’ve spent the past three months planning and assembling the most amazing birthday puzzle/treasure hunt for RacingSnail, and today is the day he gets it in the mail!!!! In order to open the locked trunk containing the most awesome part of his gift, he’s going to have to...

Thanks, Kevin, you’re always so helpful. :) If I don’t get any personal recommendations, I’ll certainly start there!

So when I split up with my wife nine-ish years ago, she took almost all of our erotica collection with her. I hadn’t gotten around to replacing any of it, and now that some time has passed, and more awesome stuff may have been published... I’m feeling out of touch with the genre. For those of...

If anybody is looking for some good quality porn, I really enjoyed the content on A Four Chambered Heart. Super real, very artsy, produced by one of the performers and funded through Patreon. I was a subscriber for seven months and then couldn’t fit it into my budget anymore, but I felt that $9...

I am constantly bowled over by the cooperative spirit shown by my sweet guys! Just in the past week, I was complaining to MonkeyMan how I miss RacingSnail, and also apologizing for going on about it at length. He reassured me that there was no need to apologize, and he actually found my mooning...

Awww. Congrats, Al. Hope all that hard work you’ve clearly been doing helps keep things going smoothly!

Aw! I recognize that feeling. :) Thanks for reminding me.

Hi Sasha! I live in the Pioneer Valley in Western Massachusetts, and I have found it to be a liberal and welcoming area. There are a cluster of colleges here, which helps to attract a lot of countercultural elements for the level of urbanization we have. You mention homesteading—I think it’s...

Senryu A poetry exchange that RacingSnail and I had over text this morning... Me: acutely aware of the distance between us my arms lie empty I dream of a wise dragon hold only shadows and smoke RacingSnail: I thought of calling But restrained myself wisely (Just after midnight) I sleep alone...

Hey, PoorSystem, welcome to the forum! Thanks for sharing your journey of discovery here, I really enjoyed reading along. Some of the fears you mention are poly-specific... like doing something outside the mainstream, and having to be good at time management... but risking a broken heart, on...

House hunting Yesterday I went to look at a house. MightyCupcake and her fiancé (Dynamo) are getting ready to become homeowners, and she wanted my opinion on a little place that’s about a mile up the road from my house! I don’t know if they’re going to take the place or not (though I did like...

Feeling deliciously upheld by my complex network of relationships this weekend. Yesterday was my birthday, and my housemate baked me an apple pie! Today I got a positively gorgeous silk scarf in the mail from RacingSnail... and tomorrow MightyCupcake and her fiancé are taking me out to brunch...

I found your choice of phrasing very confusing here. Was Starbucks saying that *she* didn’t want to be poly anymore? Or was she asking *you* to change your current relationships? That was the impression I got from your further comments. Either way, sorry to hear that you’re struggling.

Hi, N, and welcome to the forum! It might feel that way to some people? I guess? But that hasn’t been my experience at all! I love each of my partners with my whole heart, and though I necessarily divide my time between them, I make it a point to be fully present with whoever I’m with at a...

Welcome, Blissa! I think you'll find a lot of like-minded folks here, and hopefully also useful advice. If Biker and Woody are sexually and/or romantically involved with each other, that's a triad; if their connection is through you, that's a V (with you as 'hinge'). :) Being closeted can be...

Welcome, ThreesaCrowd! Hope you enjoy the forum!

Not a ton going on in my relationships lately. MonkeyMan and I have been fighting off a cold all week; RacingSnail and I continue to talk over email about the future, and flirt over text messages in the present. I read a bunch of fiction from the library that was okay but not amazing (the latest...

Welcome, Gemma! I guess one thing to think about in wondering 'where is this all going' is where each of the three of you wants it to go. Are those ideas congruent? Conflicting? How do your guys feel; have you talked much about the future with either of them? I hear you about how relationships...
