These seem to be solid, workable definitions, Kevin, and reflective of Zell's original definition. (Since Morning Glory Zell first coined the word in 1990, it seems to me that has to be the starting point). Zell's definition: I do like that you include the phrase "inclined to" in your...

I haven't read a "Bible based - Bible commentary" type book in many years, although I read many in my youth. While I do self identify as Gnostic Christian, and do find some passages in the Bible to be inspired, for the most part, I do not recognize it to be "authoritative" in any way. So...

There was an excellent discussion a couple of years back on this this thread, in which many different definitions from around the web were quoted - along with lots of debate about what the best definition was. http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91215 Most of these reflected the...

Good topic, Polyamy. And lots of great thoughtful responses. To some degree, I think that this is an issue of semantics, although not entirely. Galagirl makes an excellent point about the importance of how we label things. We use the various terms that we have coined in poly to describe...

Jane wrote: Yeah - lots of "outside the box" / nonconformist thinkers in general in the poly community. Lots of overlap with the kink community. Lots of sexual diversity in general. Lots of overlap with the pagan/wicca community - and off the beaten path spirituality in general - I'm...

Not bad, Vinsanity - that was good for a chuckle. :) With apologies to the OP. Al

Really good - and so poly-appropriate.

Despite all the rhetoric, this was the primary point of my post. :) Al

First, apologies for getting off on a bit of a tangent on LadyLove's intro thread. And, Mags, you make good points - the whole idea of "ownership" does underlie the issue that most mono men have with "sharing" their wives - but, then again, the women have their's also - say, "hands off my man...

And there you have a different slant. :) And one that I agree with in principle. However, I was addressing the OP as someone who has been happily married for 15 years - and is just now approaching her reticent husband about opening up her marriage. And, our lofty poly principles not...

Interesting observation that I had not considered - but true in my experience. The women who have squirted on me during cunnilingus were all multi-orgasmic - limited though that sample might be in relation to a "scientific sample". :) Female orgasm discussion - sure, some guys are undoubtedly...

First, if your marriage is like most, you married with the idea that you would be monogamous, and there is by virtue of that understanding in your marriage, a contract for monogamy (so to speak) - and he is under no obligation to alter that contract. But, of course, it can be renegotiated, or...
