You may be a poly if you go out on a 20 mile Saturday morning bike ride with your wife's boy friend - and then take the kiddo out for the afternoon, so your wife and her boyfriend can have the house to themselves for a few hours. But you're not complaining, because you have a date with your...

Hi Focusedone - and welcome to the Forum! Kudos on the amount of thought you have put into this already - realizing the folly of the unicorn configuration in poly early on is much to your credit (different matter for swingers, where a unicorn may be just a one night deal with fun for all, but...

Updated Estimate of Number of Non-Monogamous People in US Surprising results from recent research From Psychology Today - By Elizabeth Sheff, PhD (Author of The Polyamorists Next Door) Posted May 27, 2019...

SEASONEDpolyAgain wrote: Well stated - this would reflect my understanding as well. The orientation discussion has been ongoing here on many threads. Since almost everyone is capable of having romantic attraction and/or feelings for more than one individual at any given time, it seems to...

I found this to be a fairly interesting article on the subject that matches some of my own observations. The following quote by sex therapist and non-monogamy expert Gina Senarighi was pertinent: Why Do We Think Polyamory Is Only for the Rich, White and Privileged? by Isabaelle Kohn...

Happy Mother's Day! My wife, Becky, and I were out early yesterday, Mother's Day, on the way to meet up with her younger sister and her Mom for a Mother's Day lunch and get together. My wife was driving, so I sent both of my other partners each a "Happy Mother's Day!" text. Both immediately...

Seconded! - Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships by Tristan Taormino The author starts by introducing the larger sphere of consensual non-monogamy, and then placing polyamory within that realm, and then goes on to discuss poly in more details, and cover the basics...

Hi Brian, and welcome to the Forum! It is quite encouraging to see a main stream marriage and family therapist taking the time to do this research - kudos! We do have a number of experienced poly folks who regularly participate in this Forum - and who practice varying relationship styles...

Just a brief note to second WhatHappened - Perfectly said. I would wager that there are very few adults who have not experienced romantic feelings (or at least strong attractions) for more than one person at the same time at some point in their adult life. It first happened to me when I was...

An interesting, and probably accurate, assessment - definitely so in certain geographic areas, perhaps a little less so in others. More so in the Bible Belt and Midwest - less so on the West Coast.

Alan M. of the "Polyamory in the News" blog covered this interesting essay by Robert McGarey, M.A. (who founded and runs the Human Potential Center in Austin, Texas). https://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com/2019/04/how-polyamory-changed-world.html

Kevin, I don't read the journals very often - just a matter of time, or lack thereof. Lots of other interests, responsibilities, and obligations - as with most of us I'm certain. But I did want to comment on your observation of declining forum activity over the last few years. I have...

My wife's boyfriend has spent the night in our guest room at least a dozen times when he was in town on business (he lives 4 hour away, but recently has been working in our area for few days at a time). We're all pretty much kitchen table poly now - literally. We've all had numerous meals...
