    Why and how did you get into poly?

    I "knew" at a pretty young age but had no reference points. It was all friends with benefits, relationships with out major commitments etc. It wasn't until two years ago that I began to do some serious self reflection and realized that being in a strictly monogamous relationship wasn't joyful...

    confused/upset you name it..

    They sound very confused about what poly is about. Perhaps they lean more toward the swinger side of the lifestyle and aren't the best couple to be testing the waters with? If you feel uncomfortable you have every right to put the brakes on it. Talking is great but when a person or couple...

    her him me him her questions

    Crushy... :) We had the 'talk' it went far better than any of my fears or personal insecurities imagined. While he wasn't thrilled about it all, he understood my hesitation to tell him. We had a long discussion about boundaries, what we are comfortable with now, and where we are having...

    her him me him her questions

    I know, it's the only way to a happy ending. Regardless of how it actually turns out, even if he backtracks, is furious and full of jealousy. Guess I'm afraid of dealing with those things. Fear shouldn't create a barrier to truth. He says he trusts me. I suppose it's time to give him a reason...

    Hello, Thanks for letting me be a part of this group.

    My husband is far less comfortable with a poly life than I am. In fact most of the men I've met on this journey are less comfortable from the get go. Maybe it's where we live (NYC) maybe not. But women are at least as equally into exploring what it means to be polyamourous as men. Just my 2cents

    Why are there not more older people

    There are like minds and ages out there. I'm 43 (yes probably a baby to you two but to others here I'm gettin' up there). I'm also finding that in many situations age begins to become less important. My partners had been between 13 years younger than me and up to 10 years older. The people you...

    Old and new, baby steps.

    Nice to meet you :) Agreed its difficult to figure out where the starting point is. We have been attending sex parties for a few years but find that while super fun they don't fulfill a more fundamental desire we have. Friendships, connections & possibly emotional feeling along with all that...

    Old and new, baby steps.

    It could be. We have a lot of respect for one another's privacy and wouldnt nessarily think it strange to both have accts here without knowing about the others. I did tell him yesterday that I signed up here but it was in the midst of discussing the body of research I'm doing about polyamory...

    Old and new, baby steps.

    answers :) Q1. Not sure if my partner is here. It's something I would wholeheartedly encourage but the question hasn't come up. Sometimes we research independently. My guess... not yet. He's less of an online person than I. Q2. I have only one primary partner currently. In the past couple of...

    Old and new, baby steps.

    Hello. I'm a poly-bi-sexual woman experiencing a rebirth of my poly-self. I have been in a 15+ year monogamous relationship with my current partner (who is also Dad to our amazing son.) Most of life before this current relationship was rife with conflict due to the fact that I could never...
