New and Intrigued

[Stinkyjoedavolla]

I am a male in my mid 30s up until recently I thought my options to be happy as far as relationships with the opposite sex were limited to either being alone or eventually havin a monogamaous LTR and Marriage. I thought polyamory was just for swingers and "Freaks". For years I have struggled with monogamous LTRs. I felt like it was more of a chore and something I'm supposed to do. I feel like I am trying to squeeze a square cog in a round hole when it comes to monogamy. I think I fall into the realm of having good female friends that have sex once in a while without the entitlement.

I have read a few posts on here and this seem like a cool non judgmental community and thanks for having me.

Greetings Stinkyjoedavolla,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

Polyamory is not well-known and there are many myths surrounding it. You've done the right thing in coming here, people can share their knowledge and experiences with you, and help you decide what flavor of poly is best for you.

Nice to have you here, and I hope you enjoy your stay.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"
