    Boundaries

    Personally on the KTP to separate parallel spectrum, I am agnostic. Anything from cohabitating to not knowing more than a nickname and emergency contact number is on the table. I know that I prefer NOT to know sexual details and very personal info that only the person they apply to has the...

    Re-entering the poly world with an ex

    How exciting! I have a few former lovers that I wouldn't mind connecting with again...and a few potentials that didn't come at the right time or place that I would give another go. (I wouldn't call them "ex"s because we didn't break-up, we just ... didn't go on.) I do think that it good to...

    Literally saving the world with poly

    I have to say that I agree with the consensus, but it was a fun thought! :devilish: If I manage to find the threads I'm talking about then I will Post and Link as you suggest. I've been reading everything posted on this site since I joined in 2012 AND have gone back and read most of the Blogs...

    Well, not ALL of them, more of a "Best of..." :p

    Help with insecurity

    From subsequent posts it seems as though your experience in the past was you having platonic dates with other women. Correct? If they have a date than involves a hotel room and sleep over, I would assume that sex is going to happen. Why would talking about divorce strategy make this better...

    Literally saving the world with poly

    If you simply must know, he did give it away later in that same post(#25) (bold is mine): I'm just sorry that I won't have the opportunity to see his reaction to my scathing roast that I was preparing...it was REALLY good too! Guess I will just have to wait for the next one...

    Oh fuck… (where did the time go?)

    Oh my, yes! I have been noticing this more and more (as I get older and older >grin<). I always meant to retire early, and I will - but now part of the draw is to see if I can slow down time just a bit! I also think that, aside from my own aging, the acceleration of information accessibility...

    Fun and Frolic With Long-Term Love

    I started my first blog here over 11 years ago. I don't write much anymore but I do stop in fairly frequently to check in on how folks are doing. I enjoy reading about your plans and projects. You have so much energy! My domestic life proceeds at a MUCH slower pace - it took me 10 years to...

    The Notebook of JaneQSmythe

    I unsubscribed from all of my dating apps - I was ignoring them because they seemed like more work than fun. I am still open to meeting people in real life but I am not up for the work of trying to establish a relationship with a stranger. Still hooking up with MrClean on a regular basis...

    New to ENM

    I was confused by what you meant by "casual" - it meant; it means, to me, no promises, no expectations - but you expected them them to be "emotionally available" which means different things, apparently, if you are mono, poly, or open. For you, did "casual" mean that if they were casual with...

    Platonic Polyamory: Exploring a Unique Relationship Style

    OK, I've read the post 3 times and I still have questions. Platonic = no sexual intimacy. But where, really, is the line between physical and sexual intimacy? The above statement implies that "non-platonic" activities are desired on the part of at least one participant, which would make it...

    Hello

    Hello and welcome! I have been playing Genshin Impact since shortly after its initial release in 2020. My interest came from the open-world RPG side, I don't know much about anime (I am more of a science fiction girl). Good to have you on board!

    Bisexual, ENM woman - where r they?

    We are here! I used to have some good luck on OKCupid, but they changed how things work and it is harder to navigate now. I have texted with a few women on HER (mentioned above). I have a profile on #open and Feeld as well but there are a lot of unicorn hunters (Straight-M/Bi-F looking to...

    How Do I Edit My Profile?

    You can get to your "About" section by clicking on your name in the forums...but I don't know how many members even look there. I only know people by what they post in the forums...

    Living monogamously and missing my "ex"

    You don't have to answer any of these questions, but I am curious as to how the answers would affect my interpretation. Are the kids you have with Wife from the first time you were married or this second go round? How long were you with her the first time? How long have you been with her this...

    Need advice on how to help my partner in our Mono-Poly relationship

    I don't know that there is anything that YOU (the HSV neg partner? - have you been tested? ever had symptoms?) can do to help your partner feel less stigamitized (other than NOT stimatizing them). HSV continues to garner a lot more attention than it is probably worth given that the vast...

    Fun and Frolic With Long-Term Love

    I sometimes find myself in this weird dissociative place....I thougt we were all adults, neogotiating our wants/needs, using logic and smarts to head-off problems.... and then BAMMM! Junior High School hormones slam into play....WTF?!?! we are in our 40-50s? Most of us have taken further...

    Closed parts of the forum.

    I'm mixed, How hard is it, really? to neutralize your posts down to "plausbile deniability" - SO many of the stories here could be re-hashes of scenes we have seen before. If no one is trying to actually DOX our participtants? Personally, I wouldn't trust ANY reassurances that our postings...

    Polyamory films and books

    Keep them coming! (I'm more interested in books than movies - we had a list around here before with a lot of this included.)
