You're welcome! :)

Welcome Newbipoly! Its great to have you with us! From my observation and experience, poly can kind of spring on us suddenly and then in a way it does not.... As I look back over my lifetime I realize poly tendencies were always there, but I just didn't label them or investigate how I felt. In...

Hi EndlessLove! Thank you for being here and thank you as well for sharing your intro with us. I very much relate to your feeling of "coming home". It was the same for me when I finally understood that I was poly. Its a great relief to know you are with like-minded and like-hearted people who...

Hi Bluebird! Thank you for being here and sharing so much with us. I want to address what you've talked about in mis-matched sex drives. I would suggest you not think in terms of this being a deficit within you! Each of us is unique and we each have different desires, different drives. You are...

Hi Masharona, Thank you so much for sharing with us! I sure resonated with you as I read your intro. I'm a 49 year old straight man. I too was married, (18 years for me) and my wife and I tried several poly situations during the marriage. Like you, I felt poly was the most authentic and it just...

Yes! Each person is unique, and therefore their desires will be unique, as well. Communication, and lots of it, with partner(s) usually will iron out the differences, especially when done with a lot of love and compassion for each other.

Yes, I understand Kevin. This is my take: For those of us that are ready to Be independent, free-thinking, soverneign individuals, there is simply NO room in our lives for the control that religion, society and culture places on us. Dan

It completely depends on the people involved. Everyone has different desires, and there is no way you can generalize. For some people three times per week is infrequent.

You're welcome Kevin! Yes, I totally agree with you and I feel very blessed each day for the way in which I was raised. Yes, I bet it was tough for you being raised LDS. I had a friend that was raised LDS as well and he too told me horror stories. Thank you I am having a good time. I'm...

Thank you Jane! Its good to be here. I, too, was raised in a household that very much encouraged independent thinking and questioning things like "societal programming" and the roles of authority figures and contained a lot of love. My parents paid us a LOT of attention while allowing each of...

I can empathize, SweetSensations. In my marriage, the drought was not as severe as yours, but I used to practically beg my wife to make love every three weeks or so, because I knew it was the only way possible that it would happen. If left to my own desire, I like to make love about six times a...

I agree, Magdlyn. I've experienced being looked at as very strange for having a strong sex drive. Sex drives come in all sizes, and each of us must find a way to address the drive in ways that are sensitive to ourselves and others, but nevertheless addressed. If the sex drive is not addressed...

Thank you for the response Kevin! Okay, I will go ahead and give a little background on myself. I'm a straight guy. I was married for 18 years to a wonderful Bi lady. We have raised two lovely teenagers together. Been divorced now for four years. It was ten years into our marriage before I...

Hi Everyone, What a wonderful place you have here! I just wanted to say Thank You for the sheer quality of information available and even more importantly, the quality of the loving support I see here. I understand how much time and effort goes into assisting each other with the many challenges...
