    Polyamorous vs Swingers

    If it's important to you that people don't think you're sexual, make sure to insist on that point. But I agree with others. We should definitely be supportive of each other because we face similar challenges, in the same way as someone gay and someone trans face similar challenges. And while...

    Polyamorous vs Swingers

    The way I saw it used, monosexual meant gay or straight, polysexual was anything else.

    Pregnant Lesbian Thouple...

    Another article said that two of them got legally married during their ceremony, while they had no such paperwork with the third one. I have no clue which of the three are legally married or how they made that decision.

    Puzzled???

    I'm curious why you think that. Sure, it might be impractical for the other couple to move in your current place, just like it might be impractical for you and your husband to move into their current place. But you could all get a new place together, for instance. That definitely happens so I'm...

    Thoughts on being his secret?

    I wouldn't want to be kept secret, especially from other partners. I want to be able to be openly affectionate or at least not have to watch my words to make sure I don't accidentally let it slip I saw him the other day, and he said he was in a meeting, or whatever drama results from lying and...

    Why and how did you get into poly?

    I have three brothers and my parents were together the whole time I was growing up (they broke up when I was already in my 20s and had been poly for a while). While I don't believe I was neglected or anything like that, I can see how growing up in a situation that required sharing and learning...

    Why and how did you get into poly?

    I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you need to be dissatisfied with your relationship to want another one? This isn't assumed for other things. "I'm gonna get another cat!" "Oh, you must hate your current one!". Or "I'm hoping to become friends with so-and-so" "Oh, I thought your...

    Polyamory in television shows

    Is that a third season? I heard a lot about it when they were making a second one, but there wasn't as much hype this time around. How is it? Which families come back, if any? Are there new ones being introduced?

    The transgendered in the Poly Community.

    I did once meet a guy who only dated women with long hair. It would never have worked though: I had long hair at the time but I like switching haircuts too much, and I wouldn't have liked feeling forced to keep it long for someone else. It does seem weird to me to have such a strong preference...

    The transgendered in the Poly Community.

    ... and that body is transgender. Also, I don't see why, people someone finds the fact that you're trans attractive, it would prevent them for loving you specifically, out of all the trans people, because you're smart, funny, your personalities match, etc. It's not like they necessarily settle...

    The transgendered in the Poly Community.

    We'll have to ask the OP directly, but it's possible that by "unicorn" he only meant "I've had no luck with them". I agree that it first read as tokenism. I'm still not 100% sure I understand why it's wrong, as people have fetishes, and I don't think having them is wrong in itself, and I don't...

    Flirting with Monos

    Oh, relationships can and do evolve, certainly, and I don't believe in the concept of "the One" to begin with. But I personally have no interest in casual sex. For me to be willing to have sex with someone, I need to trust them enough that they are at the very least a good friend. So, need to...

    The transgendered in the Poly Community.

    Looks like you didn't notice my post earlier. He's not looking for cis males. The word was "mates". As in, partners. As in "I'm looking for trans women, but also for cis women. I just didn't specify it because it wasn't relevant" which puts a damper on your theory that it's about checking boxes...

    The transgendered in the Poly Community.

    Honestly... I failed to see the difference with people looking for partners who follow a certain physical description. For instance, people who are looking for petite white women. Or for a guy who's at least a certain height. Or for a specific eye colour. Now, I realise being trans is...

    Flirting with Monos

    Honestly... I think there definitely are guys who write down "looking for the one" in their profiles but are (also) looking for casual sex. They just think it looks bad if they say so. And then they see you're open and they're like "score! She'll have sex with me!" because they assume, somehow...

    Flirting with Monos

    Well, in my case, I would mention being polyamorous before the first date. So if the other person is polyamorous as well, here is their chance. I would definitely think it was untentional if they didn't let me know at that point "oh, me too" and then during the first date were all "okay, there...

    Flirting with Monos

    It might not be a deal breaker for me, but it would definitely put a damper on the whole thing, even though I tent to prefer people who have partners, because I wouldn't trust them to be honest with me during the relationship if they were hiding something like that.

    Nasty anti blog

    Exactly. I think if someone becomes important enough in your child's life, then they should be able to stay in their life (unless they're dangerous), even if they aren't part of yours much anymore.

    Poly messages on dating sites

    Yeah, I wish there was the option to pick both. You can be married and available, and to some people it makes a difference whether you're married or not, so it's good to be able to say so. I like the thing they added on the right better, where you can say you are, for instance, strictly...

    Consent

    I think it's not clear cut. Many crimes, an outside observer would be able to tell. With rape, an outside observer isn't that useful. Could be consensual BDSM play, and look like rape. Could be rape, and look consensual because you didn't see the part where one person threatened the other. I...
