    Post-poly world

    I am not even sure where to start this. I am in love with the romantic idea of poly. I was pretty successful as solo poly for a time. It was probably the best of times and worst of times for me. And i don't mean that figuratively. Being poly held the happiest times of my life but also the most...

    Books and Poly

    So I've been writing a reverse harem / why choose fantasy novel. Beacause...why not. But I was thinking the next one I wanted to write was on polymory in a more urban fantasy style. So, if youre reading an urban fantasy with polyamory, how would you all want to be represented? And what tropes to...

    New Board Space Idea

    Anyone think the board could use a blog space for "Used to be poly?" I mean myself and a few others fall into this category, and I was wondering what other opinions on this might be.

    Boundaries vs Walls

    So I'm doing a lot of therapy. And I can't figure out how to determine when I am setting a healthy boundary in a relationship in poly, or a wall? For example... The current guy I have been talking to online (we haven't met in person) continually brings his other metamour into the situations...

    Female Self Confidence

    So I do a lot more lurking on boards and writing in my own journal than participating. But I came across something really awesome recently online that pertained to a) women, b) self image, and c) sexual empowerment. And since we talk a lot about gender, identities etc. I thought I shared what I...

    Siblings

    So, I am wondering what the view is on Incest and polyamory? Such as perhaps, a V shape with a siblings. For example, my mother dated both my uncle and dad before marrying my dad. My brother and I aren't sure who our dad is, biologically we very well may be half siblings /cousins? Where does...

    Pondering about the meanings of different concepts in relationships

    I wrote a thread a little while back about meeting metamours, and I was thinking a lot about my assumptions in relationships and life, and why I have them. Also was reading again more than two, and these forums which made me question a lot of things again. My questions I am pondering and wanted...
