Sorry if I misinterpreted what you were saying originally. This was sort of my coming-out statement, so I was a little sensitive about it. I'll just avoid using the words "casual sex" in my postings here from now on. Evidently, it has a specific meaning to people on this site. I am also noticing...

Ah, the shortcomings of the written word. It amazes me how I can sometimes mean to say something, say what I'm thinking, then have it interpreted entirely differently. The words that said it all for me evidently said something entirely different to everyone else. Oh well, I'll let you know when...

Interesting concept. I've never thought of that but there may be some truth to it. To some degree I've always been more comfortable conversing with other women when I'm in a relationship, but I figured it had more to do with my not trying to get anywhere with them.

[IMG] I thought you might enjoy this picture. I thought it was very artistic. I don't know how classic it actually is, but the black & white makes it appear cassic. Is that you with the red hair?

You sound really nice, upbeat and positive! I welcome you and hope you find the friendships and experiences you are looking for. Best Wishes! Snow

I have absolutely no advice but I do welcome both of you! Best wishes! Snow

Hi there Melski! I'm new here too. I'm pretty certain I've had poly tendencies most of my life, but I'm just getting around to exploring them seriously (I'm 55). Unfortunately, most of the women I've dated have been fairly conservative, so exploration was never an option in these...

Hi there VeronicaE! I'm new here too. I have a girlfriend who recently agreed to have an open relationship. I've been waiting years to find someone open to exploring this with me so I'm very excited. I'm also very nervous as I want her to enjoy this too, and of course, I don't want to loose...

Hey, so there is someone else here from DC!

Depends on the classic movie. Looks like you are though. Was the profile photo inspired by a certain movie?

Agreed 100%. There isn't much in life that restores emotional balance like sex with someone you love and trust, be it a close friend or your life partner.

I'm happy for you that your casual sex has turned into more!

Good morning, River! I had plenty of casual sex when I was young. Looking back, I think it was based primarily on hormones and physical attraction. I think I was literally "in heat" due to my testosterone levels at that time. Knowing that, I don't think casual sex is either brave or...

Gets a little complicated for me, as I'm new to this, but there are definitely some good concepts in here for me. I particularly agree with this statement: "That's why I said friends with benefits were different, because you love your friends." When I was coming of age, I wanted to be able...

I have to assume it sounded that way to someone. One thing I've learned about communication is you can send one message and people can receive a completely different meaning.

Thanks for sharing this. Like yours, there is nothing casual about any of my sexual activities anymore. It's been so long ago, I really can't remember when the last time was that I had truly casual sex. I also feel like being able to share your sexual feelings with someone is like kissing and...

Very nice profile picture!

I saw that signature too. They may have been the ones that gave me my abrupt introduction to this site.

Actually, I got that from the first response to the first thread I posted. The comment I received seemed judgmental, and to me it felt like I was being accused of only looking for casual sex and what I was looking for wasn't considered poly. I almost didn't come back to this site. I can't...

I've actually seen that map before. How complicated! Some people are really detailed when it comes to categorizing things. I appreciate your comments. I find it hard to not get involved/develop feelings with my partners and haven't had any real interest in what might be called casual sex for...
