I love hugs :D My family was typically very affectionate growing up, so I'm used to hugs and kisses. I wouldn't say I hug everyone, but there are few friends that I don't hug now and then. Holding hands, touching, hugs, etc. with my guys is very important to me. More intimate touching is...

I'm on Fetlife, same user name as on here ;)

Here's my two cents. As someone who hasn't really done the casual sex thing, I can only share what about it appeals to me and what doesn't. I'm far too self-conscious to just hook up with a total stranger. It may be exciting and fun, but I think I need that trust and connection. I do like the...

Why are YOU poly? Sometimes this question is asked in such a way that we may feel defensive, perhaps by people who are judging it before they fully understand. In other instances, this question may be asked by a spouse or friend who truly wants to understand. I'm interested in hearing...

Two of our very best friends are the parents of 5 year old twins. Our friends know all about our 'quad' and are the most amazing support anyone could ask for. They haven't really explained any of our dynamic to their kids, it's not something that they need to know. They just know our...

Oh... the timing of this thread is so apt right now... *sigh* As much as I love NRE, it sure does make for some complicated situations. I can be very impulsive which can make NRE feel like some wild animal I have to contain. I would hazard a guess that perhaps once a relationship enters into...

It took some effort, but I was able to find a psychologist that was familiar and supportive of poly stuff. When I was searching, I tended to avoid any overly 'Christian' focused therapists. Ones that addressed sexuality, relationships, gay & lesbian issues, seemed the most promising when I...

The best suggestion I can give is not to worry too much about 'potential reactions' and all the 'what ifs'. You've decided what you want your relationships to look like, be as confident and sure as you can be and explain that you aren't looking for a debate or looking for advice from those you...

In my case, it was a desire on my husbands and my part to learn and grow sexually. We both had no previous sexual experiences before each other so we thought it would be fun/interesting to 'date' other people. We established boundaries and expectations and then just went to dating sites to...

My two cents :P I can't say I was overly pleased with the documentary. Although it was cool to see a doc focus on some of the positive aspects of poly stuffs, the family they focused on (Quad with a man and 3 women) really rubbed me the wrong way. I know, I know, 'my poly' is not 'their poly'...

I'm still feeling alot of NRE with my BF of almost 10 months, but he recently moved much, much closer to us (as in downstairs in his own suite) so I'm feeling NRE all over again ;)

*sigh* Mono, I can only hope that one day my family will want to at least talk about my relationships. I'm experiencing so much growth and happiness, and they just don't want to hear it. They've said they 'don't want to talk about them until I'm done with them'. I'm learning the futility of...

All moved in! *biggest smile ever* Not quite unpacked though :P Just have the old place to clean up but we have a week to do that. We had a lovely weekend, got to be together (just the 2 of us) for most of it. I know I've been happy at other points in my life before, this particular...

My hubby sees his GF about 3 - 4 times a week, sometimes just briefly for coffee or dinner or something and 1 - 2 of those days are overnight visits. I see my BF almost everyday, even if only for a few minutes. We both work in the same area so he often swings by my store just to say hello :)...

LOL! I know!! I'm actually just heading over to his place now to help him pack some more stuff. It's definitely alot easier to have the last 2 weeks of the month to move stuff and take time to clean and not have to rush. Looks like he's aiming for May 22 to be his actual move in date. I'm...

I would have to agree with southerndreams - it really depends on what the 'omission' is. Do I need to inform my husband and boyfriend of which one has a larger penis or can last longer? I don't see a benefit of giving either of them that information, unless either one wanted specifically to...

Welcome! Love your profile pic btw :)

Hello & welcome to the forums! :)

Welcome to the forums! I'm also from Western Canada :) I hope you find some insight here into your poly journey, I've found this site to be invaluable in my own. Peace.

Oh my... My personal favourite in the article was not the article itself but the lovely racism thread started at the bottom... because that really gave some nice credibility to this piece of 'journalism'. I also laughed out loud at one of the comments saying something about being supportive...
