    A request: state your gender and sexual preference/orientation

    I don't really relate to gender that much. I'm biologically female, think of myself as more male, so I guess I'm transgendered, but I'm not transitioning. And I'm pansexual. So, yeah, no gender / all genders for me! Relationship status: I'm engaged to a guy who's living overseas right now...

    mono-poly spectrum?

    I guess I'm about a 4? I'm more poly overall, but it also depends on the situation, and the person / people. Every relationship is a different experience. It doesn't come naturally to me to be completely monogamous for years at a time, but I can do it if there are other aspects of the...

    The public side of things

    Lately, I've been pondering the question, "Under what circumstances would it be a good idea to let other people know that I'm poly?" I'd rather not have to tell people. It's just not my style to talk about the personal side of my life with people who aren't lovers or potential lovers. But if...

    Openly Engaged

    My boyfriend recently proposed to me. I said yes. And we had a good conversation about what commitment meant to us. The conversation was really good. I had been wondering if maybe we weren't entirely on the same page because he's more mono-inclined and I'm more poly-inclined. It turns out...

    If others give reason to think spouse has honesty problem?

    I've been in this situation with my boyfriend, starting when I met him, 2 years ago. He's always claimed to be very monogamous, but he's very flirtatious and affectionate with women in public, and he tends to have a reputation for being a "ladies man". This was a source of some strife between...

    Love -- finite or infinite?

    The way I experience it is that the amount of love (and the type of love) I can feel for each person I know varies depending on the individual, and is subject to change over time. I experience a large gray area between platonic love and romantic love. Actually, every romance feels like it's...

    Is masturbation sex?

    I agree with the above.

    DIY Hair?

    I like to cut my own hair. I also cut other people's hair. I used to dye my hair, but now I get it dyed professionally. Anyway, I've done the bleach + color thing before (red, purple, variations on that theme). It's pretty straight-forward, but especially if you have dark hair naturally...

    Facebook: new "open relationship" status?

    Yet another reason why I don't like disclosing my relationship status on Facebook.

    Poly and cheating - oh dear!

    I guess I'm a bit different from a lot of people, but . . . I, personally, wouldn't get that upset if someone cheated once, especially if they were honest and apologetic about it. I'm not one to end something over a single episode of cheating. Everyone makes serious mistakes from time to...

    Curious

    I'm taking some time to figure some things out about myself while I'm in a very long-distance mono relationship. We really care about each other, but we currently live on opposite sides of the world and are not sure when or if we'll get to live in the same country together again. I'm sticking...
