What is your recommended list, Kevin? I would be interested in seeing how it compares with my impressions. And to see if I have missed reading anything on your list.

The book, Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma and Consensual Nonmonogamy, by Jessica Fern happened to show up in my Amazon list of suggested books - not surprisingly as I've ordered the Kindle versions of a couple dozen or so poly-related books from them, but it's been a couple of years since I've...

By the time my wife, Becky, and her first poly boyfriend (Ben) broke up a couple of years ago, I had become comfortable enough with the idea of her having sex with other men to offer her the opportunity to fulfill her long time fantasy of an MFM threesome. We had opened up our mono marriage so...

There is also a significant poly presence in Spokane as well, if you are in that part of the state.

Interesting tidbit of info in the introductory pic (showing 3 glasses in as toast) - "Just 0.5 per cent of people identify as being in non-monogamous relationships" The statistics I've seen repeatedly in a lot of reading on the subject of CNM is that the number is in the 6-8% range, with up to...

You might find the article that I wrote sometime back on poly friendly churches helpful as well. https://polyamory.com/threads/poly-friendly-churches.93095/

Yes, Kevin said it well in his reply. The public fantasy perception of poly - fostered by the mass media - is the FMF triad or V, when in reality this is among the rarest of poly configurations. Believing this perception, the adventurous couple that wants to add some spice to their marriage...

Welcome! Sounds like a happy poly family. :) Do your partners have other partners as well?

I had read this really informative article back when it was posted - and enjoyed reviewing it. Great resource for the forum. Thanks for posting! Al

Hi Mistresssapiosexual, I haven't been active on this forum lately (mostly due to pandemic-related logistic issues), but I did write a "brief essay" on poly-friendly churches and posted it here sometime back. (I believe that I saw your "like" by it so you are probably familiar with it.)...

A belated thank you to the Admin and all the new moderators!

This article seems to be making the rounds lately - my long distance partner just posted it to the poly FB group that she moderates - and I noticed it linked on three other poly FB groups that I monitor as well. So thought I would share it here as well. While it might be of particular interest...

Another Poly PSA: Multiamory's most recent podcast is an interview with Tristan Taormino, author of the highly regarded poly text: Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships. https://www.multiamory.com/podcast/301-solo-polyamory-with-tristan-taormino

Yeah - going political is a somewhat of a shift in Minx's podcast, although there have been plenty of political comments in previous episodes. Regardless, she does state that the podcast will remain poly-focused, albeit with more political comment. Polyamory Weekly goes back fifteen years and...

Just a PSA for fans of the Polyamory Weekly podcast - After an 8 month hiatus, Cunning Minx has posted a new podcast - aptly entitled "Where the fuck have we been?". https://polyweekly.libsyn.com/588-where-the-f-ck-have-we-been

Congrats on the successful conversation! Now that you've reached this point, do you hope to act on some of those crushes? Of course that would require another conversation that might be somewhat more difficult, but I do think you laid a solid foundation with this first conversation. Thanks...

Hi 3908 - and a somewhat belated welcome to the Forum! In general, in AA-modeled 12 Step Groups (AA, NA, OA, etc), being poly would be a non-factor ("an outside issue" - see previous posts in this thread) just as sexual orientation or gender identification is irrelevant. It certainly would not...

Hi Makaylakay - and welcome to the Forum! I very much relate to your situation, as my wife approached me a few years ago about opening our mono marriage so she could explore her resurgent feelings for an old college boyfriend. Ultimately, I agreed - and now have pretty much a "solidly poly...

You have coffee with your wife and her boyfriend before they leave together for a day trip - and then you leave right after them to go spend the morning with your girlfriend. (Last Friday. :) )
