Hi,

I'm a bit paranoid and would rather not share my name, so you can just call me Azure. I'm a twenty-something lesbian/homoflexible trans woman (very open, out and proud on both counts), and have lately been questioning my own perceived preference for monogamy. The more I question it, the more I seem to realize I might not really care for monogamy at all.

I'm currently not seeing anyone, and I've only ever previously been in mono relationships, but I've been questioning my own feelings regarding monogamy and polyamory for months now, and I find that the more I learn, the more I find myself relating to and identifying with the idea of polyamory. I feel like I might actually be more naturally inclined to pursue poly and be happy in poly relationships, but I have doubts still and am trying to reconcile those doubts and make sense of all these confusing feelings.

So...hi. Here's hoping I can work through this confusion and figure myself and my inclinations out a bit better. This forum seemed like a good place to try and do just that, so if anyone has any insight for a confused possibly-poly girl trying to figure herself out, It'd be much appreciated.
 
Greetings Azure,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

Only you can decide whether poly is right for you, but I can point you to some good sources of information:

And of course, this site right here is an excellent place to find not only information but also feedback and answers to your questions. So, dig right in, see what we have and what calls to you.

It's great to have you with us. Poly isn't something people are generally told about, so hearing about it can be quite a shock to your world. Chances are poly is indeed right for you, but it's just all so new right now you need to spend some time and think it over. I can appreciate that.

Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

Notes:

There's a *lot* of good info in Golden Nuggets. Have a look!

Please read through the guidelines if you haven't already.

Please contact the mods if you do (or if you see any spam), and you can block the person if you want.

If you have any questions about the board itself, please private-message a mod and they'll do their best to help.

Welcome aboard!
 
Re:

Azure,

Knowing your poly is kind of like knowing you're gay/bi. You don't have to be in poly relationships, or any relationship at all, to know you're poly any more than you have to have sex with someone of your own gender to know you're gay/bi.

In short, you're on the right track! Explore! Ask questions. Discuss. Before long, you'll figure out exactly what you want.
