I've been thinking a lot about my view of polyamory. While I'm not monogamous by orientation, I also don't want completely open polyamory. Open polyamory seems like it often involves a lot of relationships in flux, always being defined and redefined (or not defined at all!). As a somewhat...

I posted here last year, and y'all gave me the most centering, useful advice I could possibly have asked for. Thank you! :) (All those situations have, as most things do in the end, turned out well in their own ways.) This may be the happiest post I've ever made on this site, so yay! :) I...

I just need to complain. My heart hurts. When I thought I was monogamous by orientation, people I dated whom I really liked were often open to being in relationships with me. Now, I think I want a poly or non-prescriptive mono (mono but open to poly) life in my future. Most of the people I...

Victorian Rotating Triple Locket: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/jewelry/ee4e/?cpg=40632010 I saw this and instantly thought how lovely this would be for a quad or for a triad or V who have a child. :) And the description is poly-friendly, too! (And generally non-normative!)...

That is, if I am close with someone who is in a monogamous or monogamous-by-default relationship, someone who does not identify as poly (but may not be mono) should I distance myself romantically? Should I avoid allowing a crush to develop? Someone I know (albeit someone I find often has the...

I'm falling for someone. She has a boyfriend, and I've discussed my feelings for her with him. She knows about my feelings, too. He isn't sure how he feels about polyamory, and neither is she, but the three of us are all close friends, and they are both open to the idea, at least. They're both...

Recently I posted about someone I thought was a friend - but it turned out she was something different in addition to that. A week ago I realized I'm biromantic (in addition to bisexual). I had thought I was heteroromantic, but last Saturday I realized, almost out of nowhere, that I'm halfway...

Normally I'd post this question elsewhere, but I'm asking here because I expect I'd get many monogamy-centric responses elsewhere, and I want responses that more accurately reflect my worldview. I have strong feelings for a close friend. She was the first girl I slept with and I love her very...

I'm a second year at a top university in MA, Libertarian, open-minded, happy, busy, loving, and very sexual. I'm new to poly and am trying to take it slowly. I love singing, science, and warmth. Last year I took a year off university and met my partner at home, A. We've always been open...

I searched for this topic but didn't find it - I know there are similar topics but none of the ones I read seemed to hit on it. Please point me to it if there is one! :) So... here's a summary of my situation, and I'll be happy to give more information if anything is unclear. ABOUT ME I'm 21...
