I think there definitely is a stigma. The guy I dated who was 11 years younger was interested in me, but weirded out by the age difference. He didn't really want people to know about it. He mentioned not wanting to tell his parents about me because of it, because he thought they would freak out...

I agree with that part. And the facts are that marriage predates religion (including Roman Catholicism) and that in most cases around the world, the word is used by people who are not Roman Catholic to mean something other than the Roman Catholic union. Now are you saying that marriage should...

Chidlfree too (the "free" implies "by choice" to me, otherwise it would be "childless") but I'm most definitely into the "family" kind of poly, not solopoly at all. I think there is a whole variety of poly people, I'm not sure I could tell what most of us want though.

I think Aladdin's choice is dependent on Djinn's. What I mean is that if Djinn agreed to use barriers with Aladdin anymore, then he would have a choice to reduce is other partners to make it bareback again. However, since she's refusing that, it's kind of irrelevant if Aladdin would be willing...

True. I meant "you" as in "Mal and you" since you seem to agree on that part, but it's true he would have been the one discussing it with her.

I think you need to have a clear talk to understand what you all consider safer sex. I agree with you that to me, safer sex means with barriers. I don't have safer sex with my husband because we've both been tested negative. However I understand the concept of thinking "safer sex" would include...

Let's see... My largest age gap with someone older was 17 years, my largest age gap with someone younger was 11 years. The longest relationship with an age gap was 5 years with my ex-husband, who was 8 years older than me. The smallest age gap I've ever had was 1 year (with him being older. I've...

I'm a bit surprised about the debate. I am non-hierarchical with at least one committed relationship, so I took the test. I found the requirement clear: if at least one of your relationships is committed, you don't need to be legally married. If you're legally married, you don't need any of your...

Some notes/comments about the questionnaire: My husband and I are polyamorous but neither of us has another partner right now. This wasn't a configuration option. "How old were you when you married or committed to your spouse or primary partner? (Enter YY) If you prefer not to answer, please...

Ah, thanks. Most customs I know have it on the left hand (the rationalization being "that's the side of the heart" but I think it's probably more random than that) so I wasn't sure which of Norway or Turkey had it on the right hand. Good to know about Norway!

It seems to me it's more honest to break up with your partner rather than do something you know is a dealbreaker. The option is that they stay and are miserable, or break up and you can say they broke up, not you. Either way, it seems like a pretty insensitive and even cowardly thing to do. I...

Do you have two left hands? :P

Well, cheating can be rooted in things such as insecurity or thrill for the forbidden. In such cases, you'll probably have a recurring pattern of cheating until the underlying issue is addressed. In other cases, cheating is a one-time kind of thing and not a chronic thing. I don't think I would...

Judging by the list, California is potentially more permissive, with no minimum if there is both parental consent and judicial approval (both also being conditions for 13/14-18 year olds to marry in New Hampshire). I think the judicial part is important. While parents could force their kids to...

It's "amoureux", not "amoreux". It's also "amoureuse" for females, incidentally. And in France, the word for polyamory (aside from polyamour) is "lutinage", with "lutin(e)" as the name for the person. Still not sure what you mean by "I was going to do polyamoreux" but I thought I'd correct the...

About the marriage visa... I don't know which country you are from, but here in the US I went through the process of a marriage visa. They check a lot of things. You have to declare if you have children with other people for instance and prove that you are not longer in a relationship with them...

Why is transgender listed as a sexual orientation? That makes no sense to me.

I think it's one of those things where technically it's the law but it hasn't been enforced it forever. I mean divorce laws has been changed in France so that adultery isn't automatic grounds for divorce anymore (it's just an aggravating factor that's taken into account among other things. For...

I believe the choice is a) single b) married and just here for friends so while "married" would apply, "married and just here for friends" doesn't.

My guess is text-to-speech. Could also be a form of dyslexia though.
