    What the heck is love?

    Sounds interesting, thanks for sharing this. One thing a lot of people don't realize though is just because something is natural or intended to be a certain way doesn't make it the most optimal. Our knowledge of diseases now means if you were to have orgies like that with the wide diversity now...

    How much do babies change things?

    Well you better hope to get any sex stuff you want before the pregnancy, otherwise add another 3-6 months on after the birth. :D If you were more than an Aunt figure you have to consider what the child would call you. It seems an issue for me, what do you call the co parent? It seems many...

    poly or swinging

    Yeah, a big city obviously has more potential for these New-Age type concepts, I think. If even like 0.1% of people are swingers, then you're going to have a few thousand in New York, vs say 1 or 2 in a small town. And when you have a few thousand people doing something, that kind of message can...

    poly or swinging

    Is it swinging, or just being single and having sexual intercourse that people accept? I thought swinging was when you have a partner and there is an agreement one or both can have sex with others. In this scenario, while many people are aware this exists, thanks to decades of culture, it's...

    poly or swinging

    Sorry, the bolded bit made me laugh a bit. "Fairly well accepted"? Perhaps you have a different definition of that compared to what is in my mind. People in western society these days are docile creatures, for the most part. Most won't get violent and start a mob over such things, or really...

    Coming out

    If you're relatively young, you can still get away with the "she/he is my room mate," at least from my experience. In this economy, people seem to more easily accept the fact you need to get someone in to help pay the rent/mortgage. We'll have a large family get-together for me and the first gf...

    Is America really ready for poly?

    That's an interesting thing you've got going there. Do you ever feel like dressing up like a pimp just for fun to annoy people? Big fur suit, big hat.... It's the kind of thing I'd do. haha! Yah until the female(s) of a FFM triad come along I have a guess a lot of other females likely think...

    Spreading the love around: does love lessen with more partners?

    Well one side (the unthinking side) certainly will believe whatever they want, depending upon the wind and how much radiation is in the air perhaps. But it's like I said, when I see writing which is highly manipulative, open to interpretation and designed to hit the note with emotional people...

    Spreading the love around: does love lessen with more partners?

    I'm not quite sure why you're on the "defend poly" crusade. I am poly, so I think you are likely confusing what I am criticizing here. If you don't want to believe that many "monogamous people" love the idea of polyamory simply because it means they can have more sex, then you can be of that...

    Spreading the love around: does love lessen with more partners?

    Not really sure how this proves your point. I wasn't talking about reoccuring sexual activities with one person, but having sex over and over again with anyone. Sex isn't some one off need for most people, it's something that needs to happen again and again. Having the odd random encounter can...

    Spreading the love around: does love lessen with more partners?

    Agree with these. Sexual activities need to reoccur to be rewarding, generally speaking. You may have some good memories, but they pale in comparison to the act of having sex with NRE. As such, the sex is the driver for a lot of people, yet they usually say otherwise, because then it's not...

    Spreading the love around: does love lessen with more partners?

    I'm along the lines of Ariakas, that I believe love is equal. However, love isn't the only part, or even the biggest part of a personal relationship. Okay, my assumption was a little wrong. Sorry about that. But I still don't believe you can find a replacement for what you are missing simply...

    Spreading the love around: does love lessen with more partners?

    Perhaps it's finding people that they find attractive. If they have spent many years finding the right partner, they will, of course, be upset if they have no alternative, or lesser alternatives. Your conclusion that all lovers are equal is quite politically correct, but doesn't have much...

    Spreading the love around: does love lessen with more partners?

    Well, we are very similar, then. Not that I have written a date-a-base before, but I have written similar things. ;) Being able to tear away the emotional things and think logically probably makes us able to see reality a bit easier than some. Though it may appear "cold" to those people. You...

    Spreading the love around: does love lessen with more partners?

    Yes, NRE is great. I look back on the NRE I had with my first girlfriend with fond eyes. However, to me, there is more to life than having that NRE feeling over and over again. The benefits I get from having 2 permanent lovers far outweighs anything I could get from 1 permanent and many...

    Why and how did you get into poly?

    "Relationship cold feet" is usually related to knowing inside yourself this person isn't the best person for you. They may be the best person you've found so far but yeah, there is a knowing that someone is just "fucking right" for you, if I can use the swears. And that can happen with more than...

    How much do babies change things?

    Babies don't change a thing, provided everyone involved wants them. Like any difference in a relationship, but perhaps amplified on steroids when it comes to a living human.

    Is America really ready for poly?

    Yeah, I have a whole lot of that. Regardless of what the girls say in our triad, it's always the male, the brainwasher, living the life of a king with his minions. Most people are stupid. If they don't want to listen or believe what you are saying, then what's the point of talking to them? They...

    Spreading the love around: does love lessen with more partners?

    If there is a time limit on love, then how would you know you have infinite love? You haven't been able to reach the point of saturation yet due to time constraints. As I said though, when I think of one of my girlfriends, and trying to remember everything I know about them for even 5-10 people...

    Is America really ready for poly?

    Once you realize the reasons why we are monogamous are 99% down to social programming, it makes you look at all the other programming we have received. Too many people think their values are their own, when in fact they are merely what they were raised with. The thing that makes me giggle is...
