    Vincent Kartheiser from Mad Men discusses non-monogamy

    Awesome, incredible interview! I didn`t know him, but now I do. Thanks for posting. :) I really enjoy the part where he talks about Jon Hamm, and how he (Vince) is not bothered by pretty women. He seems to be at peace within his league. I also enjoyed the part about female biology, and the...

    sometimes, we have to accept that we cannot help some times

    That is an interest question. What I try to do is, if someone tells me about his or her problem without asking for help, I empathize. Nowadays, I really follow pretty strictly the only-help-or-give-advice-when-asked rule. If someone simply tells me about their problems, I`ll likely be fishing...

    sometimes, we have to accept that we cannot help some times

    I find it conceited to assume that we are helping someone, when the recepient does not ask for help. I often see this co-dependent dynamic, whereby the 'saver' gets the moral high-ground, and the 'saved' gets the all the attention and mooching. In fact, that pretty much describes the longest...

    is there such a thing as too much sex?

    As a single person too, I feel this pressure. What with going days without cumming before a hook up, and whatnot. Lately I`ve been feeling a lot like cuddling without hurry, but every time I hook up I feel like I'm in a goddamn porno set. Which I love, but this lifestyle has me feeling some sort...

    I wish you luck. Let me know if you find people who are both attractive and emotionally stable out there. Seems almost unfair to the competition. :D

    Facebook "partner" option

    My FB option stays single regardless. I`ve never been pressured, but I`ve been through a lot of people since I joined Face and never have I touched the relationship option. Don`t want to be in anyone`s Facebook either, that`d be a huge turn off and red flag to me. The interwebz (along with...

    Learning from mistakes vs. Moving on from the past

    I`m sorry, I know your question is another, but I don`t see how spending 3 days with no physical contact and then going for coffee could be anything BUT awkward. Especially, in a drawn out date. I`ve been on two awkward dates that I remember. The first one, I actually cut short. I told my date...

    Cuddle Parties?

    Likewise. In the words of Saul Bellow, "Potato love." :D

    Another judgy thread: Opening up marriages

    Maybe. But, in Woody Allen`s words, "whatever works." I abhor the idea that a relationship is a bank account with carefully detailed pluses and minuses in blue and red ink, and that the balance between the two columns must never exceed zero, unless you pay interest on the debt. Things are...

    Another judgy thread: Opening up marriages

    These seem to be excellent questions, which I have argued about in this forum. I`m afraid my answers are unpopular here, so I`ll wait and see if others chip in. In my case, if I understand the questions correctly, the threatening gender for a female partner would be male (unless he were bi). I...

    "Dear Mr. and Mrs. UH, I'm not sure how to say this, but..."

    Sure. Personally, I try to give advice only when asked. Sometimes, I`d rather keep my feelings to myself even if asked. That is my attempted MO beyond board statements of purpose. I guess, were I to post in it, I would specifically ask what I was looking for. As I did in the one thread I...

    Serial Monogamy

    lol! Me too, but not really. :o I have never linked serial monogamy to the length of a relationship, only to boundaries. Doing so would give the nod to the length=depth of feeling equation, a view that I`m very much qualmish about.

    "Dear Mr. and Mrs. UH, I'm not sure how to say this, but..."

    I meant specific experiences and feelings related to the thread topic. Not in journal form.

    Another judgy thread: Opening up marriages

    I`ll agree that the convincing thing is annoying. That being said, it`s not like it`s a level playing-field out there. I`ve been trying the poly-from-the-bat home run for about 6 years now, with no success. Prior to that, I lived with someone. I remember sleepwalking through that relationship...

    "Dear Mr. and Mrs. UH, I'm not sure how to say this, but..."

    IMO, when you`re asked. Really? I thought it was to share different experiences.

    Cheating vs. Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    qft. As though intellectual persuasion ever convinced anyone to fuck anyone else. I wish it did...or do I? :p Either we`re in the same league or we aren`t. Full stop.

    Cheating vs. Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    Fair enough. I would agree. Of course, women were also rescued out of sinking ships and burning buildings before men. Nor did they have to burrow through granite to make the New York City subway grid. Inferiority seems to have its advantages.
