Thinking about the other thread about std's: Maca and I were discussing and some thoughts seemed worthy of sharing. Relationships require some hoop jumping. If someone is unwilling to navigate the hoops to accomplish std testing, including cost, honest discussion of risk, finding a dr...

Hey guys, I'm workign on a project for school. I have to find two research articles that SOMEHOW address my topic (doesn't have to be exact). My topic is that I believe that the more personal involvement a person has with people who are in an alternative relationship (LGBT/Poly/BDSM etc) the...

Several posters have commented that they found this blog post very enlightening and helpful in seeing a broader picture, understanding people who are not like them etc. So I figured I would share it, in it's own thread for more people to reference and comment on. I find it helpful in...

Very awesome!! Too bad we can't say so to the announcement. ;)

No, no I'm not off my rant. The reality is that relationships criss cross.

Ok-I have a friend (not me THANK YOU GOD) who is struggling. She can't orgasm during intercourse-and believes it means she's "broken". Completely can't believe that a large majority of women can't. She orgasms fine with toys. But, her husband is jealous and angry about her using them. (I...

I have some questions/thoughts but it didn't seem appropriate to continue addressing in someone's lifestories/blog thread. I considered a pm. But, I think this is a useful topic if it's addressed correctly and something we could all benefit from hearing/reading/discussing. I hope no offense is...

There’s a lot of people who are against “airing dirty laundry." These people think it's best to keep personal issues within the bounds of the people directly involved. This is a great theory, if you don’t dig too deep. But as soon you as you dig under the surface, it becomes glaringly obvious...

Thanks, Sneacail and Marksbabygirl, in particular. I know you are aware of the ridiculous series of events that occurred over the holidays, when I'm at my lowest anyway. I had to make my blog private, password only, for now, because of the stalker business. I don't want to get into all of that...

I created a poly group in our town. Its going well. I created it in order to allow for us to socialize with other polys without infringing on the existing group, because the lady Maca considered dating-and it blew up into a dramatic nightmare-is part of the original group. I created an event...

I've been running across a repeating theme. Maca has this "need" to find someone else because he feels "left out". I find this ULTRA unattractive. To clarify, I don't find it unattractive when he dates other women. In fact, I immensely enjoyed watching he and E when they were being...

Suggestions? HISTORY: My SO met a girl. Boundaries were broken (thats been addressed). She got pissy when he stepped back to address the broken boundaries (she didn't know that is what he was doing). She talked smack about me, unaware I would hear/see it. He and I address the issues in our...

There seems to be quite the conflict between those who feel that its unacceptable to be expected to work together with metamours when creating new relationships and those who feel that its absolutely necessary that new metamours work together with existing metamours when creating a new...

I'm not sure how to word the scrambled thoughts I'm struggling through at the moment. But, I wanted to come here and get some feedback and thoughts and different viewpoints to expand my perspective in order to come to some sort of conclusion in my mind-because it won't stop spinning this rubix...

I know this is somewhat off topic from Poly. But, not completely. I am having all sorts of medical issues that cause problems with my sex life. I can't find anything resolute regarding coconut oil. But, I know it helps with yeast (internal and external) which would be great. Doctor...

I'm not having a crisis. Just acknowledging Maca's frustration (unspoken at the moment, previous quite loudly complained about). He works 40-60 hours a week as a rule of thumb. It's an hour drive each way. So that alone knocks out 50-70 hours a week. Sleep, He generally goes to bed about...

Here's a question for everyone. Details: You have relationship issues (poly-dynamic). You're not interested in a FB. You're a very sexual creature, very high sex-drive. You don't mind masturbating-but it doesn't alleviate the physical or mental sense of "NEEDING" sex. How do you get your...

Hey-I know there's a few of you on here that are in New York (though I don't know off hand WHERE in New York). GG and my 11 year old are going to be visiting New York in September. They arrive September 3rd and return home the 17th. I'm having a HELL OF A TIME finding ANY PLACE for...

I've noticed in several places, people are talking about how to get to each others personal blogs. Maybe we could just add a list of links in one spot. ;) Mine is http://lovingradiance.wordpress.com What's yours?

http://www.lovemore.com/blog/?p=914 I thought this blog post did a great job of deciphering what Poly is, without any disrespect or negativity to other forms of non-monogamy. Since it comes up so often around here, I thought I'd share the link. ;)
