I am not strictly speaking a follower of Buddha myself, though I see much positive in the Buddha's message to humankind, as I see much positive in many other religions gifts to humankind. Let us say I am born into Jewish culture but consider myself religiously multicultural in many ways, and am...

Hi, I'm a medical career woman at home right now with my first child. I'm way out in NY suburbs, but would enjoy chatting with other poly women on a friends basis. Your post in response to one of the threads I am on seemed really appropriate, meaning that from where I'm coming from, I felt...

Hi Hi Just seeking a just friends situation for now as my husband and I are having our own internal drama and would not be fair to us or anyone else to involve anyone romantically. However, we are serious about making friends with other people who are into poly (and who are mature enough not...

Hi welcome.

I don't exactly want to turn into the avatar police or the thought police or anything on this site, and it is an over 18 site so even the grosser ones are probably legal. Its a personal taste thing, unless I am really into someone, I just don't want to be seeing that side of them.

How would others handle it, if it is claimed by someone that spouse has other sig others, but is denying it, despite already having agreed upon boundaries that all other relatonships be honestly discussed? I am not claiming to be in such a situation, but am interested in how folks would...

Hi, I don't know how others feel about this, and I am aware this is an adult site, however, find it very distasteful to see people post avatars of themselves in what it would be understated and polite to call a "boudoire shot".:(

Hi, My husband and I are both new to the poly thing ourselves and for now are looking more for chat with potential friends. And anyone who loves the Princess Bride has lots of potential to be a really cool friend in my book. Are you in NY area by any chance?

additional comment And in addition, monogamy also was a custom of pagan Rome, and may have been adopted by originally Roman pagans who chose to become Christians

Best bet is to ask local poly people about which local religious people are most open to poly marriage ceremonies - can vary from place to place.

Have always liked UU. You can be anything else and still attend :) Very open minded people.

Hi, I actually do not see any Biblical restriction on polygamy. In fact, the original interpretation was that you could have as many wives (and in a modern day and age of egalitarianism, husbands) as you can financially and emotionally take care of. In Ashkenazi Jewery there was a cherem...

My husband (who likely will be logging in separately as nllpoly or something close to that), and I are more ready at this point to begin meeting other people. We have settled the swing vs. poly issue in favor of poly, and we are becoming adjusted to having a new baby in the house, our first...

Hi, I have read that thread - but am quite confident that my husband will not violate my boundaries in such a way. We have a very egalitarian marriage, and if we can't agree on something we table it for a while, and the thinking time usually brings us to a solution (either one of us finds that...

Quote: Personally we prefer this approach to rigid 'rules'. Although we have a 'desire' that we both know each other's partners in advance to just get second opinions if you will, we also acknowledge that we know & trust each other well enough to let things develop as they naturally will which...

:) What particularly are you looking for help with and maybe I can amend my comments to offer better advice! :) Maybe I should give you more of the background story! Neither my husband or I had much sexual experience before we married. The previous experiences that I did have were...

I have not been posting until now, but have been reading quite a few threads and seeing much wisdom in them. While both my husband and I are open to the idea of some form of open marriage, I think what we would each want from an open marriage is very different. My husband is more looking to...

Hi I'm living on the East Coast, and a married, female medical professional who identifies as bi-curious. My husband and I started out as a mono relationship, and in the past month or so, he approached me about opening up the marriage. Being a big science fiction and fantasy reading nerd from...
