thank you rick. thank you so much. x

apologies for the tangent there, i could talk about tea for weeks if i let myself ;) x

the thing about milk comes from the days when tea was drunk from fine china cups, having been brewed from loose leaves in a pot. the china was so fragile that if you poured boiling-hot or just-boiled water into them without milk already in the cup they would crack or shatter with painful...

you mean secret affairs i presume? as in cheating? because over here we talk about (love) affairs without necessarily meaning that at all. x

gardening, reading, cooking, writing, dancing, learning and teaching practical feminist self-defence, making mosaics, talking and listening, having sex (alone or with specially selected others), swimming, cycling, watching movies, listening to music, trying new things, walking, flirting...

i just hope that attitude will ensure that you are never tempted to tell others that their practises are "not poly", and that you will stick you the concept "whats yours is yours" as you say - what others describe as poly is true for them its just not how you practise poly yourself. a valid and...

perhaps you just answered my question? if so full respect for your honesty. x

no worries mono. but do you think this only based on a perceived tactical advantage or also because you yourself disapprove of "promiscuous" behaviour? i am genuinely intrigued. x

the fact that you are not bisexual and that he is not "interested in you" (which i hope only means in the sexual sense?) does not, to me, tell me anything about the possibility of love between you two. that's because i value platonic love, ie love between friends/non-sexual love at least as...

redpepper and mono, i'd also like to ask - is it that you don't think or want certain behaviours to be part of poly because you don't yourselves approve of those behaviours, or only because you think it is the best tactic to protect your family? is it both? or just the second? x

although of course it doesn't have to be either or. as i said i believe the best way to protect one's family and loved ones from prejudice and untrue allegations is also what is best for the community. however if actions you take in the belief that they will protect your family (mistaken in my...

mono, as i have stated elsewhere on this forum, i have parental responsibility for my niece so this is not just theory for me either. excluding some people from the poly community, or tightening up definitions of polyamory, is not going to protect anyone from inaccurate accusations. if someone...

that is interesting. it is certainly the situation here in the UK but i had understood from others than it wasn't in the US. do you know what a US citizen would be able to do should an individual social worker not adhere to that standard? perhaps the folk on this board who seem to believe...
