As I've dated more, I've thought a lot about sexual and emotional attraction.I'm beginning to learn how they work for me and I find it interesting how it is so different for different people. For instance, I find myself emotionally attracted to a preponderance of folks but sexually attracted to...

I tend to be a fairly passive person. I don't like to rock the boat, especially in relationships. It often ends up with me being a doormat even when the other person isn't trying to put me in that position. I have an extremely hard time expressing wants and even needs. In poly, where open...

Break-ups seem to be rough no matter how you do them and sometimes they can be pretty devastating. I'm curious to hear how people view break-ups. Is there a way that you typically do it? Ie, remain friends, remain civil, cut off contact, move across the country? Do you think there's a right or...

When I was little, I had a dream about this house. It was big and yellow with hardwood floors. There were lots of windows and it was always a place of calm and beauty. As I've gotten older, I feel like I've missed the mark in terms of what I always wanted out of life. I'm currently working...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7HKmu3eMEk This is an older clip, but I found it really interesting to hear the opinions of the people involved. It interviews a polyandrous family in India.

In our (Western?) society, we tend to see emotion and logic as opposing forces. Often times the dichotomy is present in terms of gender characteristics, i.e., women are emotional and irrational, while men are logical and rational. Personally, I find that to be a bunch of hogwash. I am a woman...

I did a thread search but didn't find much. So hopefully, I didn't miss some amazing thread with awesome advice. Summary - O has decided to break up with me. I did not want the relationship to end and am feeling pretty depressed about the whole thing. Basically he doesn't feel like he can be...

So, I had a busy weekend. I went to a local club (it was fetish night) with O and A and two friends. It was less kinky than I expected but they did have a vac bed and a bondage demo. This random guy kissed me which I didn't really appreciate. He was a dom and he recognized my sub-ness but...

A month or so ago, my SO said that he needed to cool things down physically because he felt like it was getting very hard to for him to play within the boundaries that his wife is comfortable. I personally, was not having that problem, but I understood that he needed to feel more comfortable. He...

I'm curious. What does everyone think about a threesome being some one's first sexual experience. How would you feel if it was your first time? And, how would you feel if you were involved in a threesome where one individual had never had sex?

I started out in my first poly relationship (current) feeling totally unsure of the rules. Eventually, I felt like I understood what we were doing but now I feel just as uncertain as I did in the beginning. For those that don't know I'm an arm in a FMF vee with O (my SO) and his wife A. We've...

I am currently dating Owen. I am in a FMF V. I am free to date others. Tonight, I took advantage of that, as a guy that I know from my university, Oscar, asked me out to a movie. It turned out that Owen and Opal and their friends had been planning on going to the same movie theater, so I had...

I'm new around here, although I've been reading for awhile. I recently began a poly relationship which also happens to be my first relationship in general. Things are going pretty well, I'd say but I thought of something I'd like to ask. I'm dating a guy we'll call O and he is recently married...
