    How "out" are you as poly, really? And why?

    I guess I'd qualify as single/solo for the time being. I ended a secondary-type relationship a few months ago that had been going on for a little over a year. Other than that there are two other women that, while we acknowledge that we love each other, the relationships have not yet become...

    Tats & Piercings?

    I might as well tell everyone. I... am polyamorous. I know this comes as quite a shock. I'll give everyone a moment to calm down. Hmm... the infinity symbol is a Möbius Strip. I've never noticed that before. It's not a wedding or engagement ring, but the finger choice is deliberate. I'm...

    How do you find poly people??????

    Well, you signed up here, so... you found us! Although, I don't know how many people are here looking for dates though. There's a section for it, at the bottom of the main page, so I would assume some are. I'm not opposed to the idea of meeting people from this site and dating them, but it's...

    Tats & Piercings?

    I just got this one a few hours ago. It has a meaning, but I'm not sure I want to tell you guys. I'm still kind of new here and I'm not sure if it's something I want to reveal about myself yet. You guys might not be cool with it. I have two other tats, but I'm somewhat anonymous here and...

    Polyamory: Married and Dating - Premier July 12th

    Yeah, more variety would be nice, but I can see how that's difficult to accomplish, due to the "keep it entertaining" and "everyone has to sign a release" aspects. The live-in model works best with that kind of thing. For the time being, I'm single, and therefore do not live with anyone I'm...

    Polyamory: Married and Dating - Premier July 12th

    It's not so much that is matters which is the wife and which is the girlfriend, but it does make a bit of a difference. I missed the first episode. Watching the second episode, I was thinking the blond was the wife, and I was thinking "fucking unicorn hunters..." then I remembered at the...

    Children and Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    Polyamory has only recently come to the attention of the scientific community, and there aren't a ton of studies at this point about how children are affected. The few that have been done show similar findings to those done on children raised by homosexual couples (of which there is a...

    Should I say something?

    I don't know if pointing this out would would ruin unicorns for this woman. It may be kind of like if a dog lover had a license plate that said "dogging" or "dogger." Pointing out what that means probably wouldn't ruin someone's love of dogs, but they may want to rephrase their license plate...

    Should I say something?

    I've always heard it with the word "stupid" in there somewhere. However, pointing out stupidity in others is generally considered impolite, so I thank you both for not doing so. Also, over-thinking things is hard-wired into my personality. I can't not do it.

    Should I say something?

    Very rarely do my actions have a single motivation behind them. It is my primary motivation though, probably about 90% of it, more or less. But yeah, if she is poly I'd like to know. Like I said, while I'm attracted to her, I don't think we'd be compatible, but I barely know her so I can't be...

    Should I say something?

    I started a new job on Monday, and today during my lunch break, a car in the parking lot caught my attention. The license plate... I need to be careful here... is a variant spelling of the word "unicorn" that is not immediately obvious and had several stickers with the word "love" and hearts...

    Cheating vs. Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    I think the only dispute here is that I initially was only taking cheating into account when I brought the subject up, whereas others were thinking of the situation as a whole, which I did not consider at first. I was thinking more along the lines of "can I think of a situation in which...

    is there such a thing as too much sex?

    I meant it's true from a statistical standpoint, which is why I said it's meaningless when talking about individuals. It's a misapplication of statistics. Let's say that someone invented some sort of scanner that could quantify and measure one's sex drive. (I'll also name the sex drive unit...

    is there such a thing as too much sex?

    This makes as much sense to me as if someone said "I didn't need to eat for two years because I was doing a lot of cooking." Yeah, the two are related, but doing one doesn't satisfy the need for the other. However... ...apparently, you understand this now.

    is there such a thing as too much sex?

    Society really needs to get over the whole "men and women are completely different in every way" crap that has been going on since the beginning of recorded history. There are differences, but really not all that many. Most of it comes from gender roles. Men and women act differently because...

    Cheating vs. Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    Yeah, this was kind of a tangent. As it does relate to the subject, when I brought up abuse originally, I wasn't taking other ethical concerns into account. I can't come up with a hypothetical situation involving a victim of abuse in which other ethical concerns aren't present. So, even if...

    Cheating vs. Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    From the way that's worded, I take it you're out of the situation. I'm glad to hear that, and I know exactly what you're talking about; I've lived it. My father was extremely psychologically abusive, and my first girlfriend was emotionally abusive and later became physically abusive. When I...

    Cheating vs. Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    When I find out that abuse is going on in a relationship, my primary concern is helping the victim get out of the situation. Usually, the thought of becoming romantically involved with the person doesn't even cross my mind. When it does, I do my best to set those feelings aside at least until...

    Cheating vs. Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    The concept of cheating being okay sometimes has been mentioned a few times in this thread, mostly to do with terminal or prolonged illness. I thought of something else that I would consider "justifiable cheating." I meant to mention it in my first post in this thread, but couldn't think of a...

    Cheating vs. Polyamory: Merged Threads, General Discussion

    Yeah, that paragraph says a lot about me, doesn't it? I tend to be attracted to women that are extremely emotionally unstable, who in turn attract other extremely emotionally unstable people, which is probably the source of that kind of thing rather than it being random chance. I seem to be...
