FabSwingers.com forum: Would you date poly?

By (user no longer on site) OP

Are you poly? Would you date someone that is poly?

I’d love to hear thoughts on this.

My thoughts: I think I wouldn’t get involved with anyone that’s not poly anymore but I’d love to hear perspectives from the other side. I think mono/ poly relationships are really difficult and I’m guilty of being not the easiest partner to a mono person in the past.

I tend to have poly fwb's and mono fb as they find it hard, that I can have deep emotional romantic feelings, for more than one man at the same time.

Saying that I don't think I'd ever change from being solo poly, I'm not looking for any nesting partners and don't wish to share family life with them

Yep, I'm poly. I also like the naming because it's reminded me to get in touch with Lacey about an outfit for something!

Would I date someone who is? Well I'm actively looking to not date date anyone currently. Happy going on dates, really enjoying that. So yes, poly, mono doesn't really affect that as long as they can accept I am.

I've felt more desired, respected and accepted for all of me right now by someone who is monogamous than I have done previously at times with poly folk. I think sometimes poly folk can fall into the belief that there's one true way of being poly at times. Like the angry rants on reddit.

In the future? Who knows. I'm open to it. I'm rather enjoying being a bit footloose, rediscovering me and exploring things that are so... intoxicating to really think about if I'd seriously date again.

Tl;dr? Possibly.

I would, I love the freedom but people seem to think poly means you can just fuck when you want.

It’s not the case, dating poly is more like dating normally but not exclusive to one person, the sex can happen and the sex cannot happen. It’s not a rubber stamp to just get your hole.

Precisely!

I find being poly helps because you don’t look to a single partner to deal with your emotional needs, or feel threatened if a partner seeks someone else for theirs. I think that keeps relationships from failing, It’s actually perfect.

Yes they do. I guess it depends on the dynamic and what you have in place - it's more individualistic. If someone had said being open and honest about meeting others but weren't? Most would say that's cheating.

I think poly can be wonderful. An utter shitstorm sometimes. But when it works, and because of that friendship that's cemented, you've got a friend for a life. As long as you're not a total dick.

Of course. Poly is complicated like you said. But so is monogamy.

As the cheaters constantly tell us on here- it’s not always that straightforward apparently.

In answer to the OP, I’m more inclined to date poly people as feel they’d accept my need to be me more readily. However, sometimes poly people say they’re good communicators but then quite simply aren’t - and I wouldn’t rule out a monogamous person who accepted me and communicated well just because they didn’t want to see anyone else but were fine with me doing so. Managing people’s expectations / feelings is an art, and not one that everyone possesses.

So i love the theory.. Both spreading light +joy.. knowing we are each others no. 1..but in reality I'd be jealous of the emotional connection i think? I guess it depends on the set up too - if we all lived together and bedswapped I'd probably be cool.... Then I think about the chore devision and bump back down to earth

My only real knowledge /observation of poly is that sister wife tv program.. Sometimes they seem happy, sometimes they don't. I was thinking he is living his best night, but then he is the one bed hopping, never having time to himself always 'catching up'

So in conclusion... No idea

We are polyam-mono with a dynamic that can comfortably be called Relationship Anarchy. You do not need to be exclusively one or the other, or even one specific type of polyamory.

Miss is currently -by choice for reasons- mono, Mr is actively polyam at this point. It is something that works us and literally saved our relationship. Do the google for the book "More Than Two by By Franklin Veaux & Eve Rickert".

At the moment, no. I don't have much free time where I'm able to meet up, and they would have to consider their other partners before organising something with me.

That would probably leave a small window for us to meet, and I want more commitment from a boyfriend than I do from a sex only partner.

Lots of people claim they are poly but have no idea what they are talking about.

Some use ENM as an excuse to avoid labelling themselves as cheaters.

As for would I date poly? Or would I date mono if I were poly? It all depends on the person, the situation and how they handle themselves.

Jealousy is not fun to be around, and can quickly turn something bright into something dark.

Been poly for years now.

It's not without it's pitfalls and there are lots of different flavours Triads, Quads, Open Relationships etc.

I like the fact that there's no pressure to have to carve yourself up to fit all of my partners needs (eg my partner hates the cinema, girlfriend loves it).

Also, the wife and I have different kinks so don't feel obliged to play together.

As sex doesn't equal love, it leaves the door open for NSA fun. But also means that if there is a spark it's not the end of the world.

Can be hard to judge whether I should message some bods who don't want to speak to attached/married bods as I am and also not.

Hmm... In some ways, maybe. I don't know.

I mean, it's easy to think of the upsides, a FFM poly relationship sounds like heaven. But would I be as happy with another male being brought into that sort of context. Probably not.

If I'm understanding the terms correctly the distinction between a poly relationship and an open one is that in poly the parties are all theoretically faithful to each other, albeit there are more than 2 as distinct from open where noone is faithful and it's a free for all so to speak?

Never been in either so wouldn't be able to speak from experience.

Maybe a poly with another male could work. I'm imagining how I would feel if Lucy wanted to do something non-sexual with one of our male playmates and I'm cool with that. Who knows. Probably never going to be a thing anyway as polys are far too public.

Poly is an umbrella term that covers lots of different ENM relationship styles.

You do get triads, quads etc where everyone is dating everyone else.

However, you just as often have people who have a nesting partner (someone they build a home and family with) and they have play partners they date with.

My nesting partner and I have twins with additional needs so getting childcare is mental. So the fact we are poly means we actually get to have fun. But we don't date each other's partners

My nesting partner has a girlfriend who has just moved to the US. They don't see each other very often and their gf is ace but doesn't make the relationship less valid

Similarly, we have a friend who is addicted to New Relationship Energy. Has a nesting partner by goes through play partners at a rate of knots

Interesting, thanks for the clarification

I think I could potentially be open to a triad or maybe a quad at a push. But I'm not sure I'd want it to be fully open if we were going down that road.

In a strange twist, I don't actually know if id be a swinger in that context, at least not very often. As in a non-open Triad/quad situation presumably you would need to get everyone involved and the scheduling would be absolutely impossible

Ironically, people assume poly is all about sex, it's mostly about diary management.

Most triads and quads I have seen live together, share the same huge bed etc.

It's not without it's pitfalls and there are lots of different flavours Triads, Quads, Open Relationships etc.

I like the fact that there's no pressure to have to carve yourself up to fit all of my partners needs (eg my partner hates the cinema, girlfriend loves it).

Also, the wife and I have different kinks so don't feel obliged to play together.

As sex doesn't equal love, it leaves the door open for NSA fun. But also means that if there is a spark it's not the end of the world.

Can be hard to judge whether I should message some bods who don't want to speak to attached/married bods as I am and also not.

Quin"

I would - I wouldn't see a man who is cheating on his partner but have met men in open relationships. Just be upfront.

I personally couldn't do it, I applaud those that can, sex is sex but emotionally no I need that security, there's parts I'm not comfortable sharing.

Swinging we enjoy because we do it together meeting separately doesn't interest me in the slightest dating or sex.

Ironically, people assume poly is all about sex, it's mostly about diary management.

Most triads and quads I have seen live together, share the same huge bed etc.

Handy book is 'The Ethical Slut' by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy.

I can't lie, that sounds amazing. I did used to know a triad though I don't know if I ever heard them use that term. Used to go to kink clubs with them back when I was into that sort of thing. They seemed to make it work for a good long while.

Then as I understand it things fell apart for entirely unrelated reasons.

I know one triad that is one of the most solid relationships I have ever seen. They have been together over 20-years.

I have seen others break and that's been messy because the law recognises the rights of couples but if you have a 3rd that's not on the paperwork they can be left seriously out in the cold.

Although when my nesting partner's gf's marriage imploded during COVID we were there to back them up. They lost their house but because we were bubbling they were able to move in with us while they sorted out their credit and sorted a new flat.

Also meant my partner had help on the allotment, as gardening is not my thing.

Love this post . I am so interested in poly. Need to learn more about it and what flavours appeal. I have struggled to find people that match my level of honesty in the past but I don't know if that is a reason to pursue poly or not

I love the idea of emotional intimacy with more than one person and feel quite comfortable with that idea for any partners too.

I would be hesitant about dating mono if I were poly because in my previous experience peoples insecurities come out more when the shiny period at the beginning of a relationship dies down so unless they were very very secure and really understood poly I could foresee problems. But I might be being unfair. (After all I am learning so why couldn't others). I would also be hesitant to date poly if I decided that I wanted a serious relationship and was mono. I would need much more from that partner than may be fair.

I am soaking up all the poly second hand experiences I can at the moment and will see where that journey takes me. And if my diary management could handle it.

Can't see me going back to total sexual mono now though . Swinging, other ENM seems too much my thing.

I wasn't looking for a poly relationship (any relationship actually) but one found me. Am I poly or mono? I'm not currently sure. I am very new to everything and discovering what will work for myself and my partner. In the end I find honest, open conversations and a desire for your partner to feel loved and seen as much as you are is what will make things work in any relationship

I prefer not to use the term “poly”, but I am very definitely ethically non-monogamous. Have been for decades – since before I even knew it had a name.

I would not become involved with a monogamous person. Far too much stress and bullshit to deal with. Nobody can be anybody’s everything.

Having tried it before, I don't think it's for me... That said, the better half wants a girlfriend as well and I'm OK with that, but for myself, for the time being I'm not interested in having an emotional relationship with anyone else. I may change my mind in future regarding myself but I am more than happy for her to have a girlfriend too regardless.

Sure, there may be complications at first, but it's nothing we can't get through.

See what the future holds!

I think poly relationships take a fair amount of work on your own emotions as well as those of partners. It can be really good to analyse how you relate to others.

I think you can't expect people who have never thought about anything other than a mono relationship to have worked through how they would deal with it. For this reason, the switch from mono to poly is a transition rather than a flip in my experience.

Friendships are a great example of how we already are capable of many of the things required for poly. We have lots of different friends that we love in different ways for different things they bring to our lives and don’t ask one friend to be everything in our lives. We don’t own our friends and don’t require them to do everything for or with us.

Wouldn't have a problem with it at all. As a previous poster mentioned from Hardy and Easton's "The Ethical Slut", there is a lot of overlap with the dynamics of friend's networks and poly relationships. I'd posit that a lot of people are in deep and meaningful relationships with their friends, loving and respectful relationships at that. For some of them, they're probably in polyamorous relationships with said friends, but they haven't cottoned on yet.

For me the terms Friends and Poly are fairly interchangeable.

I tend to love friends and well: why sex is separated as the 'benefit', I find a little peculiar, when people say FWB.

Not all loving relationships are primarily sexual and that can fluctuate over time too.

It's just my little idiosyncracy, probably.

Sometimes it is easier in the sense you don't have to be somebody's "everything" if they are poly too.

But if you are their only partner then yes it can be hard giving them enough quality time, when you've another partner, work, and have a house and family to run!

A poly date years ago defined poly as "being friends with my exes"

like mentioned already. I'm technically poly and when I date I'd see anyone compatible, some poly people certainly aren't.

Also idk if anyone's experienced this - possibly my fault/I encourage it - but some poly folk chat on and on (and on and on!) about their other relationships and partners. Like sure I actively want to know your lovescape and who is important to you! I don't necessarily need to hear about the dating life of your secondary partner's partner though... how about you&I concentrate on getting to know each other first?

It's not being thick. Some shortened words can be easily confused. The OP is meaning Polyamory which is defined as: the practice of engaging in multiple romantic (and typically sexual) relationships, with the consent of all the people involved

I’m a relationship anarchist - swinging fits really well into this for me cos we can talk about what we do and don’t want from a relationship and not just assume that a relationship means we have to move in together and wear crap underwear. Currently polysaturated, though. My male partners are both monogamish, but are both very relieved when I leave because they like their own space.
