It's so weird to me, yes, disturbing at times, that I have thoughts of wanting to be with another woman
sexually, even though I have a lovely lady of 7 years. You know, and I have described this to my lady, being with a different woman sexually is just nice! Different smell, different taste, different sounds, different personalities, something NEW! To me that's so exciting! It's not that I wanna ditch my lady for another woman, it would be nice to change things up a bit ya know? I believe my lady is on the same boat I am with this so that's why we had thought about polyamory.
Hi and welcome. You seem to be a bit confused about what polyamory is. That's okay. Most people are when they first start exploring it.
Love does not equal sex. So, if you just want sex with someone new, and aren't interested in actually loving someone else, you don't want poly
amory. You want casual sex, swinging, an open marriage.
And remember, a new person won't be new forever. If you date a person for a while, say, a year or more, she becomes familiar, and the excitement of the new (which, if it's an actual dating relationship, we call "new relationship energy" or NRE) wears off, and then you're back to square one.
Also, another thing about trying to openly date another woman, when you're a married man, is that most women out there will not want to date you, even casually. Most women won't believe your wife actually consents to you having sex with other women. Oddly, in our culture, women would prefer to date a man who is cheating on his wife secretly, rather than one who is doing it with the consent of his wife!
I highly suggest you read the book
Opening Up to learn about the different forms of ethical non-monogamy, and how to practice them. So far, you're just fantasizing, which is barely relevant to real life dating.
