Are there any other polyamorous people here?

I identify as poly and am quite well known in the London poly scene but also enjoy less emotional entanglements.

I thought polyamory was when you all lived together as a family unit rather than have different partners? Or is that something else?

For me to commit myself to ONE person would be extremely reaching. I know that NOW.

That's why I don't date because I'm not up for cheating either.

No its where you marry someone but continue to see others and can be in a non sexual way not necessarily sexual

I think if you're tightly woven into the fabric of the family it's called polyester. Could be wrong, though.

My understanding is simply that polyamory means a person is open to multiple loving relationships at the same time.

This is my take on poly too, who dictated that we could only love/have emotional feelings for just one person?!?

throughout human history all forms of relationships have been practiced. But our current culture (based on the Abrahamic religions) promotes monogamy as the only way.

I know I am not monogamous, nor is my wife. I fully understand that I cannot be everything to her nor she to me. So we have other relationships with everyone's full knowledge. I also have a girlfriend, she has a fiance (I introduced them) he has another partner etc.

I had never heard of Polyamory until recently & i agree it's quite naive to think that one person can fully satisfy another in all aspects of life.

There are a number of theories as to why monogamy evolved in humans, and most don't have anything to do with religion.

Polyamory might be a good choice for some, but to suggest that it's a more realistic choice than monogamy is nonsense, and I'm sure there are plenty of examples of failed polyamorous relationships.

Wasn't Polyamory a kids story telling programme from the 1970's?

Even HRH the Prince of Wales appeared on it.

Is this why you're on here as a single guy?

My wife is on here too. We attend clubs together but tend not to play "as a couple". Hence we don't have a couples account but each have our own. We are very open and happy for each if us to go off to a room with another person/people.

my gf isn't on here but her fiance is. We all know about each other, in fact I need to crack on organising his stag party

Monogamy is perfectly valid. I hope it is increasingly realised that other relationship dynamics are too. I don't think anyone is saying that people practicing polyamory are more evolved or necessarily better.

Personally I don't have any issue with people who live a poly life. If it works for them, then that's great. But one poster suggested that monogamy is naive, implying that poly is somehow a smarter choice. This I do take issue with.

I do know a lot of people who struggled with physical and emotional attractions to multiple people, feeling there was something wrong with them, until they heard about polyamory.

A poly relationship is attractive to me, I'm just unsure I could cope with the varied dynamics and demands of multiple people. I think it would have to be something to try and experiment with, to really know.

Same here; no type of relationship is better than another

"I thought polyamory was when you all lived together as a family unit rather than have different partners? Or is that something else? "

You are right Evie but they don't have to live under one roof.

It's sort of an open relationship but more involved than a one night stand or quickie that your partner knows about.

Polyamorous relationships are honest and each knows about the others.

It can be all under one roof but doesn't have to be.

Children born into these relationships are unkindly known as Batistes
