I agree. Sometimes telling people things through text is the best way that they can do it. I think it means that they're afraid of losing their partner, which would mean that they do care about their partner. But it also means that fear is involved, and fear can be the root of things like...

How would you say it's more restrictive? Ok. I like the idea you have above, that the charts fit different needs. I think that there should be a poly map out there that mentions sex workers, if only because you can certainly form relationships with them; perhaps generally business ones, but it...

That answered my question, thanks :-)

I hope it's ok to make a thread where poly people can post a link to a preview of a favourite movie of theirs and maybe talk about it a bit? I know there are threads about poly movies, or movies that would have been better with a poly ending, but just wanted a thread for poly people's favourite...

It's the name I go by in the physical world.

Ok. True.. which is why I did couch my point with a "not sure" in it... Alright. Alright. Sorry about that. It's hard to know where people are coming from when you've only had limited time to interact with them. I like creating discussions that have the potential of helping people in...

Ok. I just met one that identified as poly, which is probably why I brought this up in this poly forum to begin with.

:-) Ok... Ah. I may not be interested in that either. Not really sure what that would entail. I think you (or someone else) agreed that a romantic relationship can develop between a client and a sex worker, but that the transaction should then be called something else. However, I don't...

I told my family I was poly soon after I decided that I was; so about 16 years ago. Admittedly, my approach isn't something that most people would follow. I'm just the type of person who likes talking about what's on my mind. This doesn't always work out so well though -.-

Personally, I think that if sex is involved, it can definitely be thought of as a relationship to some, which is why I think Franklin included it in his Poly Map. We don't all have to agree on this, however. I think that most relationships do go 2 ways (unless you count people who have a crush...

Indeed. I wouldn't be surprised if the equivalent of sacred temple sex workers exist somewhere even today, but I haven't seen evidence of this. Anyway, I think a question really has to be asked here; why do people (and by people, I mean mostly men) pay for sex workers? Yes, that's what I'm...

I'd never heard of it before either, but apparently it's well established; just google "jilling off", you'll see it's even got its own entry in the urban dictionary ;-).

Not everyone agrees with your stance there, as the Poly Map clearly includes this. That is true. However, I'm talking about the sex workers themselves, not who they're with. I think that when it comes to sex, it may not always be so easy to call it simply a service. There was a play in...

Hm. Why do you think this should happen? Personally, I admit that I kind of like it having its own category, if only because sex work is so maligned in our society. I think it deserves to be discussed, and burying it in other categories won't really do that. I recently researched and discussed...

Yeah, a sex worker generally isn't going to ask if the person is cheating on someone I think. Yeah, finding out about poly early on is the best way to prevent cheating I think, laugh :-). True. In all honesty, I don't think there's anything wrong with it per se; I think that a lot of people...

This is one of those hot button topics, to be sure. Hiring a sex worker doesn't mean that you have to be cheating on anyone, although I have heard from someone who has been in the business that a lot of people do hire them for that purpose. I certainly don't think that cheating is a good thing...

Ok... I take it he hasn't been so responsive to you or someone else in the past?

Which version of it :-)? Laugh :-)

Oh, I see. I think you're saying that she may have liked those song lyrics that I put up in a response to her, which is cool. And as to um.. the F thing, I think I get you.. I admit that I've never done something like that to a woman, but I'm willing to learn if a partner would want it. I miss...

Makes sense. I still think we should edit his chart. As the old saying goes, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Ofcourse, by we I'm hoping someone other then me because I'm lazy ;-).
