I'm over in the Manchester area.

Welcome Barb, good to see another Granite Stater here! :)

Thanks for the clarification, redpepper. I think I read the tone of your intial post as being a little more harsh than what you had probably intended. With written communication, sometimes tone is lost. You're probably right, that there are other deeper questions to ask than just the...

There are poly-friendly therapists. http://www.polychromatic.com/pfp/ That tends to be the go-to list. Oftentimes, kink-friendly professionals are also poly friendly. There's a list of those here. http://www.ncsfreedom.org/index.php?option=com_keyword&id=270 But of course, that doesn't...

This brings up a good point in my mind. As a culture, I think oftentimes open, direct communication isn't something that's valued as an asset. To a degree, we've been conditioned to communicate indirectly, and not make waves for fear of upsetting someone, and sadly, I think this is often most...

My rule also is if someone asks, I won't lie. I'm out online... anyone who knows how to use google and can read could probaby eventually figure out that I'm poly if they were so inclined to dig for it. The username I use here is the same that I use everywhere, even in professional contexts (I do...

I also wanted to reiterate that there's nothing cowardly about writing an email vs. talking to them in person. It isn't the means of communication that matters. What matters is your that needs are being heard and taken into consideration. The BDSM element probably adds a layer of complication...

Thanks for pointing out the other thread. After reading it, my thoughts and suggestions aren't substantially changed because of the contents of that additional thread of information, except for maybe to suggest that part of the arrangement and boundaries account for the fact that she's been...

I think this statement could be taken one of two ways... so, I wanted to clarify what you mean... I noticed a few people are taking this to mean that you yourself are monogamous and trying to make yourself fit into a polyamorous mold to make the others in your relationship happy... and they...

Redpepper, I'm really confused by your response to this. It seems like she's asking a really heartfelt question here. What are you trying to get at with this response? I've been in a similar situation in the past. Choking used to really bother me. If someone tried to do it to me, I'd tweak. If...

For those of you who are currently in polyamorous relationships, how "out" are you to other people that you have more than one partner? Do you tell everybody? Only on a need to know basis? What's your criteria for sharing that sort of information?

I've often toyed around with the thought of building something as well, Keith... The web developer in me cringes horribly when I try to visit a lot of the poly-themed dating sites, but alas... paying projects have taken over my life. On a the technical side of things, were you considering...

Welcome to the site, Stephanie! :)

I suppose it's somewhat ironic that I actually tripped across one this evening: http://www.polyamory.org.uk/. Looks new.

I'm in New Hampshire. Faerie Camp Destiny in Vermont is the sanctuary that's nearest to me, and the rumor that I've heard is it's the camp that seems to have the most female and trans Faeries, which I think is pretty nifty. :)

That's a good point, JRiverMartin.... while nonmonogamy seems to be fairly common among the gay male communty, it isn't necessarily polyamory. I'm fairly familiar with the Radical Faerie outlook on things, I went to a gathering at the sanctuary closest to me last fall, and probably will go to...

Hi there everyone! I'm Nikkiana. I'm a 25 year old bisexual female in a vee with two wonderful straight men. I make websites for rockstars for a living. I digital scrapbook and I knit. Looking forward to meeting all of you!

In my observations of the overall poly community, I've personally noticed two large factions... One being among people in relationships which are mixed gender and the other being relationships that contain gay men only... and the two groups don't often mix. On the mixed gender side, I've often...
