SEEKER2020 here.

Just realized I failed to introduce myself before starting a thread on the other section.

I'm a divorced male in my late-30s. I came to this forum mostly for support due to the recent break up of an important relationship after we gave Poly a try. You can read the story here http://www.polyamory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70806

I also came to this forum to find additional wisdom as I continue learning more about myself as a sexual being. As of now I wouldn't say that I am a fully fledged non-monogamist or Poly (or whatever the label might be), but I do have a staunch sense of curiosity about human behavior. Based on my experiences with divorce and unfulfilling periods of serial monogamy, I am at a place in my life in which I am seriously questioning and scrutinizing everything I "knew" about human sexuality and monogamy.

At times I feel that I might more "monogamish" than Poly- using Dan Savage's term. But I think there might be an overlap between the two, so I remain open to learning more about the subtle differences

Thanks to those of you who already provided support in the thread I linked above. That support has helped me tremendously as I grieve the loss of a relationship.
 
Greetings seeker2020,
Welcome to the forum -- now it's official! Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

Nice Heisenberg avatar, by the way. :cool:

Hope you find Polyamory.com to be a useful tool in exploring your own sexual and relationship preferences/inclinations. The site covers a wide range of subject material so you should be able to find just about whatever you're looking for. If you can't find it already posted, just post the thought/question/concern yourself; you'll probably get a lot of responses. Plus we have search, tag search, and advanced search. All useful tools.

Again my sympathies on your recent breakup, and I hope you'll find some healing here as well. And way to call it on those book choices! (Sex at Dawn and Opening Up.) I think they'll both help you a lot in your journey of self-exploration.

Thanks for joining us, and hope we'll have many more conversations over time.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)
