Hi Everyone,
I am a divorced man in my early 50s. I have a very diverse life experience and have always been curious about different people and different cultures. I guess I've started reeling that into more of an interest in diverse lifestyles. I came about the latter more by life circumstance rather than initial interest. I never would have considered a poly lifestyle once upon a time, and might have been against it. How things have changed.
I come from a conservative upbringing with life expectations that were so lofty, a total crash and burn was waiting for me. I've lost much, more than once, and more than one way. I've chosen to see what rock bottom would look like. It's from that depth that I have risen back. I wouldn't say I'm different now. I am much more open minded and patient version of a similar me. I have the personality to weather just about anything life throws at me, and find a way to thrive. I think a lot of that is I know the choices I want to make and don't feel bad about it. This is how I am arriving into the polyamory world. Maybe it won't be for me, but I want to figure that out.
Post divorce, I really needed to explore my sexuality. I waited until marriage to have sex, but the partner I chose was bad in many ways. That person made me feel dirty and perverted for simply wanting to love and be close to her emotionally and physically. I allowed myself to explore sexual relationships that I never would have. It was freeing. However, I also knew I needed the emotional connection. I learned what I needed and now I am hoping to find relationships where sharing this kind of love and connection without the traditional boundaries is accepted. This is why I'm here.
