New to site, not new to poly

[jackanddiane]

Greetings all.

Husband and wife (Jack and Diane) both professionals coming up on 50. Married 25 years. Poly since 2008. Most experiences have been brief encounters with a woman joining us for a threesome.

Our support group is limited to a few close friends (and each other) and we are looking forward to chatting with other poly folks, maybe even learning about educational or social opportunities for those of us in the Midwest.

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

It is great to have someone here who has experience in poly. And you will get many opportunities to chat with other poly folks, just look around and see what threads call to you. As for social opportunities, you may have a poly group (or two) in your area, try googling "polyamory" with the name of your state or nearest major city. There are educational opportunities too, such as poly conventions, check our Meetings and Events board for starters.

Looking forward to your future posts.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"

Hi... Jack? Please read through our Guidelines. We ask that you use different accounts for each partner in a dyad. Polyamory is not couple-centric. You each deserve your own voice. If you insist on sharing an account, please sign the name of who wrote as the end- Jack OR Diane. Thanks!

Most experiences have been brief encounters with a woman joining us for a threesome.

If you have had brief experiences of threeway sex, you probably did not actually practice polyamory. The amory part means love. It sounds like you experienced casual physical and short relationships.

Most polyamorous couples date as individuals. Your "relationships" when trying to force triads can be short if you are couple-centric. Jack wants one thing from another partner. Diane has other qualities she'd like. And the "unicorn" (hot bi babe, HBB), might have stronger feelings, or more attraction, for one or the other of you.

Our support group is limited to a few close friends (and each other) and we are looking forward to chatting with other poly folks, maybe even learning about educational or social opportunities for those of us in the Midwest.

Educational opportunities: read the book Opening Up.

And read the article So Someone Called you a Unicorn Hunter? right away.
