Hi from London, UK

I'm a 40-something gay man living in London, UK.

I was in a happy sexually open relationship for nearly 4 years, which ended because my partner died suddenly.

After nearly 11 years as a single man (with a few brief flings over the years), I've become increasingly fascinated by the idea of polyamory. If I'm honest, I think part of the attraction is the possibility of sexual/romantic love without being someone's primary partner.

At this stage, I'm very much at the finding-out stage about polyamory which is why I've joined this group.
 
Greetings CheckedShirtMatt,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

There's been some talk lately here about whether anyone would *want* to be a secondary partner, so you are already part of that discussion! ;) I hope you'll find out whatever you need to about poly while you're here. Don't hesitate to ask any questions.

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.

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

Welcome aboard!
 
Thanks for the welcome, Kevin T.

I've only been a member of this forum about 12 hours and already I've learnt so much.

Having read a bit of the Solopoly blog, I think that label applies to me. I'd like to be romantically/sexually involved with one or possibly more guys, but I don't think I'm looking to be on the relationship escalator (today's new phrase:)) towards cohabitation and possibly marriage.

So, perhaps being a secondary (perhaps to more than one guy) might be the way forward.

I've certainly got a lot of food for thought now.
