Those who read my old blog before the Great Blog Devastation of 2016 might remember me using the term "PolyBorg Collective" to refer to the kitchen table sort of poly, where people are friends with and socialize with their metamours and everyone's one big happy group.
A conversation with a friend about Robert Heinlein's books, and some reading I've done that mentioned one of his books, led me to wonder, though... In some of Heinlein's fiction, polyamory is presented as one big happy group. Everyone in a grouping is romantically and/or sexually, or at least platonic-friendshiply, involved with one another. They hang out, some of them have more than one partner in common, etc. They don't all cohabitate, but they're all welcome in each other's homes.
How common is that kind of thing in real life? Is anyone here involved in that type of configuration? Would you be, if the opportunity presented?
This is me wondering about things and trying to learn "human"...
