it's delightful It's challenging, it's great, it makes me feel good. Eventually, I know for sure, this is the way I want to share, to love and to live. We are true friends.

I'm still trying to find out, what Polyamory is. May be the message is, that friendship, compassion, respect and mutual affection are more meaningful than sex. Making love is sacred, it's a blending of matter and spirit. Casual sex that very likely leads to broken relationships earlier or later...

I have had lots of problems with that, too. In some case(s), I even thought of discarding me being poly, but I can't and I don't want to be untrue to myself and others. Right now, I don't feel that I need anyone, life is exciting and fulfilling enough. Of course, I would appreciate if I met...

Some of the realizations that came from this thread I used for my new blog: http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19259

Polyamory for me is the best option, because the monogamous, romantic relationship that lasts for a lifetime is outdated in my eyes. It is not very likely, that this romantic exclusive dream-love will become true in a relationship and if we suppose, that it will become true, we put lots of...

@ Castalia: I think you're really quite clear how you see yourself being polyamorous. Then it is up to others, if they see it in a similar way. You have no control about that. We shouldn't try to convince anyone. But just asking and telling your attitude and your wishes is alright, in my...

@Luna393 Talking of assumptions: I tried to make a date with the lady I had spent the night with and made a fool out of myself. She had said before, that she wanted to meet me by chance another time, and not plan anything, and I didn't quite take this for granted. Her lifestyle is rather "free...

I'm not in a relationship now, but every time I get close to someone, it is a big problem for me to address the subject of polyamory. You're certainly not the only one with that fear to talk out freely. It feels good to hear that I'm not the only one. Now I feel more easy about it. And your...

She said that the sexual aspect made a big difference. She could live with me loving other women, but only in a platonic way. The sexual part of it is exactly the big taboo for the majority.

My ex-gf also said, on different occasions, she would be alright with polyamory, except the sexual part of it. She was not that straight with her own concept, but a poly relationship was not possible with her, because of her being extremely jealous when other women approached me. Yes, I would...

Did you talk with your husband about your ambitions? Is he ok with it? Very well said; that gets to the point. My experiences with friends who say they want to live monogamously is that they mean it. However, every situation is different. I really don't want to give you any advice. For sure, it...

To talk openly/ we got to care about everyone involved I think another important point is patience. Usually, especially when love and sexuality is involved, we want it know, we don't want to miss a chance. Friendships and love relationships for may be even a lifetime are, may they be intimate...

When more than two people are involved... Now again I'm in a situation where I might get inbetween two persons, who are in a relationship. I think, non monogamy is quite common, even in relationships, but polyamory is still quite rare. This friend, she told me, she was kind of persuaded into...

relationships Last weekend again there was the situation, that the woman from a couple I am friend with, flirtet with me. She and here boy friend were really arguing heavily, very complicated situation. It was so clear to me, this time, there was no way I would invite her, without consulting...

It was a good decision to become polyamorous, but more precisly, I'd say, I'm on my way to it. In sommer I had an affair with a former girl friend, which was very nice and there was still the bond from our former relationship. Eventually, she wanted a steady/ mono relationship (which I don't...

in the meantime Now some time has gone by and I still see Johanna once in a while and we always have a nice chat. She just wants to have a monogamous relationship with me, I'm pretty sure. She tries to make me jelaous from time to time with some other guy(s). But you can't prove, that something...

Wilhelm Reich Very recommended reading: "The emotional plague" by Wilhelm Reich:http://anarchy.org.au/?page_id=9 (also very interesting regarding polyamory) Here an addition to my first text: Definition of the medical establishment: to be healthy means to be able to do wage work, to...

Your freedom is my freedom I wanted to stay in touch with her. We planned to meet about 5 times, and each time she didn't show up. On the phone she made it clear that she was irritated, and wasn't really interested in having contact with me, if I didn't agree to try and have steady mono...

How to turn a monogamous relationship into an poly relationship or a friendship? I wasn't on this page for quite a while. After what has happened in the meantime, I clearly answer "don't." It doesn't work, if not all persons involved are interested in a polyamorous relationship. Apart from...
