Where did you discover the concept of polyamory? I'm curious, because I see so many different and interesting stories, and I like to look for themes. As a teenager reading Heinlein I always thought the group marriages sounded like so much fun, that I thought it would be cool to have one in a...

I find that an interesting idea. The white, young, middle class being the "generic" polyamorist. The young part makes sense ... as my generation is much more accustomed to the idea of different lifestyles than previous ones ... though I would think that pretty much anybody who came of age during...

I figured I should update my story if I'm going to be posting; I've been reading a lot again. Mostly due to the fact that I've had time to. When I last was reading a lot on here, it was because I needed to. The relationship with our boyfriend was supposed to have a 6 month expiration date, and...

Just gotta say I love all the Heinlein references. I think Heinlein was where I first got the idea that being poly was a thing, and potentially a very good thing.

Its a literary reference, from Heinlein's novel "Friday". She's a kick-ass spy that starts out in an unhappy group marriage and ends up in a happy group marriage at the end of the novel. I used it as a gamer profile account for Facebook, which I now use when I want to post about things that...

The schema and the myth and the reason most people think that monogamy is "correct" is because it is dominant, and it is dominant for a reason. Millions of years of evolutionary biology made humans a 'mostly monogamous' species, along with a lot of birds and a few other mammals. It is a system...

We've gotten to the point that labels don't matter anymore to us, or to most of the people that care about us. Also, another reason it doesn't come up much. Kinda complicated to explain to people, and this is working so why question it? Sometimes one is who one is and one loves who one loves...

Just wanted to say hi and say that I'm with you on this part. I'm the opposite of single being a mom who is part of a committed "v", but between working full time, graduate school (last semester of my Master's), my son, husband, and partner all needed my time sometimes it gets crazy...

Sorry I should have clarified that my husband is mostly gay. He was openly gay when we met and only did men, then we met and fell in love and our sex life is much like a normal straight couple except for being open, and now being a poly. He's a confusing but awesome guy, and it created some...

Hi everybody, The screenname is a reference to one of my favorite Heinlein books, the main character was in a group marriage and though I've always been fascinated by the idea never expected to find myself in a poly situation, mostly because its hard enough to find the time and energy for a...
