Your reaction is a common one and exactly why it's so scary to talk about for people who have an STD. It opens you up for more reinforcement that you are untouchable just when you have gotten the courage up to stop believing that.

I feel the love always from you RP, but perhaps less exclamation points next time. :)

Thank you, darling :) . I really am struggling with how to do this, as I have not had to have this discussion with a potential partner since my partner discussed it with me at the start of our relationship. I have actually directed one potential to this site in the past, and writing on here...

Let's not veer off a good thread here... These facts, which are pretty much the same in the US, depending on which study you consult- (1 out of 4, one out of 5), are really scary, added tot he fact that 90% of people don't know(or don't say!) they have it, and condoms can be ineffective for...

that's you, C!!

We're getting shit done. :) Look at that nice definition.

I'm all for the live chat feature just as long as you can easily turn it on or off. :) The chatroom for seasoned members... (hahaha)......may be a slippery slope. (HAHAHA) Would I be allowed in? I have enough posts for "senior"status but have never been in a polyamourous relationship per se. I...

Like philosophy Shit, how did I miss this thread before!? I been writing papers. YES to human beings being at a turning point in evolution. I only have to look at my own life as a woman as opposed to the blink of an eye of 100 years ago to see the compounded miasma of technology and culture...

Welcome There is something very sweet and vulnerable about your post. You seem to be trying to take it all in stride. I applaud you for your wish to understand these people in your life. I think it's safe to say that anyone, when first dealing with the concepts of poly, has a hard time...

I agree with the BigGuy. Once she has shown you that she respects your concerns/boundaries/feelings and needs, and this experience shows itself a good one for all involved, you may not feel the need for reassurance quite as much.

**hug**

Glad you are reaching out Hello, welcome to the boards. I am feeling your situation, as just a year ago I was in a similar situation- lack of open communication between my husband and I, and me emotionally involved with another man and completely at a loss as to how to be fulfilled and not...

I am definitely feeling your shyness, but moreso, I'm detecting (as much as one can from text disembodied from the whole person) that you may be projecting your own feelings onto others in because this is so new too you. There seems to be a few internal conflicts going on here. As to when the...

Perhaps you should hold off laying it all out on the table with people that you've just met. IMO, it's not necessary to explain in a bar what your worldview is upon meeting someone you find attractive. If there is a connection, and you take some time to establish the connection, and you feel...

Dressing up as a lion (awesome home-made costume from last year) and attending at least one houseparty, maybe going out to see a show if I'm feeling froggy. I will win cash for my costume this year!

Sorry to hear about your trouble Riunin, You've been given some solid advice and hard questions to ask yourself by the other members here. I just have a couple of things to add that may or may not help. First thing is, I think it's hard for anyone to wrap their minds around polyamory when...

Stuck in my head At first I thought this analogy was a strange one.. people aren't fish, I thought. I don't want to ignore people, because I hate to be ignored, I thought. But SC, I think I get it now. The trotline image has come to the surface in my mind many times as I continue to get more...

Hey RP, how goes it today. I hope you're wrapped in love and understanding as you deal with your day. Hugs to you.

Hey man, I hope your birthday celebration was great. I have been thinking about you and RP and hoping the kinks are getting worked out with your current issues- sounds really painful but you are both so brave! Strange for me to feel this way, maybe, but I care about what happens with you all...

RP, don't you dare post anything until 4. :) Naked birthday time is sacred, seriously.
