Recently a close friend and I got into an awkward situation that made us both feel unsafe and uncomfortable (around platonic cuddling and non-sexual physical intimacy). After we had talked it through, I decided that our friendship needed some clearly defined boundaries in order to survive, move...

Ok, where is the link for survey? Send it to me directly and we will take it.

Not really, I'm not even sure why I started posting on this thread. Probably because I am an English teacher and think its fascinating how people use and interact with language, how important it becomes that certain words are used and others are avoided, what it all means to them. Always...

Great, then we're all in agreement and I can go back to drinking. Happy Easter!

In the end, do any of us have a right to tell someone they can or cannot use a certain word to describe their life? And, if we do have that right, who gave it to us? As an English teacher, I have spent hours, days, weeks, and years explaining to students the subjectivity of language. So its all...

Damn that Wikipedia! We better update their information, then, because they are misleading a whole lot of people. I mean, according to them, we have symbols, special terms, values, even a few parades under the belt.

Well, my point is, we're debating why people use a certain word? Why? What's the larger, demonstrated impact that the word has on your life or world? Words only mean what we make them mean, anyways, so...shrug...guess I was looking to deep into it.

Just thought of a really critical question: what's happened in your life to make this such a hot button for you? Your gripes about semantics are great for debate but is that really what you're asking, is that really what's eating at you? Just seems you're really frustrated over...um...words? I'm...

I think using the term "lifestyle" or "culture" is fine, at least for me. I mean, why not? We use those words to describe everything else in society. I have friends that talk about the "Bohemian lifestyle" or the "vegetarian lifestyle" or the "gay culture" or "Black culture" or "liberal...

I worked at an abuse shelter as a security guard, my mother was a counselor at the same shelter, and I saw and heard things that, even while I'm writing this response, made me want to vomit scorpions. Unicorn, I wish you the best.

Good morning! I'm on OkCupid as Hades37 and my wife is on there as Persephone_47. Please feel free to favorite one or both of us.

Ok, I am on there as Hades37...PLove is going to be Persephone47...for anyone who wants to be in our Favorites list!

But, wait, how do you get around the issue of the OKC profile being set up for just a man or woman? I mean, we're a couple looking to connect with people, not just me or her...:confused:

Cool. Thanks for the answers. We will check out OKC today. And good job on the spontaneous word creation BlackUnicorn! LOL:D

Hey, has anyone ever used this site? What's it like? Is it lame? It would be nice to meet some real live people that are polyamorous. I mean, this forum is awesome but meeting live people would be awesomer (is that a word? No? But I was an English teacher so I can say it IS a word and you just...

Although it may sound selfish, I have a really easy time of letting people go who consistently cause me pain - no matter who they are. Family, friends, lovers, children - whoever. My theory is that, if you're causing me pain, even if I love you with all my heart, then I have to get away from you...

Thanks for posting but I watch this and find myself really annoyed by some of the questions, comments, and gasps of horrified exasperation from the audience. Granted, all to be expected and it IS a talk show but...meh.

Think we could find a woman looking for a couple on there?

While my wife is all for it and very interested, the other woman (former GF turned Object of Our Collective Desire) seems really confused. She will call or come over and hang out, be really engaged, and then be "busy" for days at a time. Granted, we know she has a daughter, is a single mother...

Just have to say that I love your Posts. Very insightful and intelligent, and you write with a certain flare that I find really enjoyable. Thanks and keep posting - please!
