There Can Be Only One: Poly Myths 1 (Syndicated)

by A PolyGlot | Jan 28 2012

There is a pervasive idea that poly living breaks down the emotional bonds between pre-existing couples, as they are distracted by the new love interests in their lives. There's a corresponding idea that poly makes it difficult for people who are single to build the 'exclusive couple bond' with their new poly partner that we all, apparently, need desperately in our lives. When a couple has a child, both parents bond with the baby *as they should do*. Should either parent feel that they...

What are Poly Myths? (Syndicated)

by A PolyGlot | Jan 27 2012

I've been meaning to write a series of posts about poly myths for a long time, but just haven't got around to it. However, recently I read a blog post that condensed the majority of negative poly myths into a few brief sentences, quoted as expert opinion. Needless to say, this expert was clearly not an expert on poly relationships. Cue much steaming at the ears and a lengthy response from me in the comments section. I'm reposting those thoughts here, in an expanded and...

Rings and Conversation – Polyamory, Flirting, & Wedding Rings (Syndicated)

by Life on the Swingset | Jan 17 2012

It occurred to me today - well, many times, but I only dwelled enough on the subject to write about it today - that the wedding ring, which once was the universal sign for "don't even try to flirt with me" has lost that aspect of its meaning in my life. How many people do we know who are happily married and also romantically available? I am on that list.

What is Love? – Considering Feelings Amongst Swingers (Syndicated)

by Life on the Swingset | Jan 11 2012

I tend to fall in love fast. Not necessarily hard, but definitely fast. I knew this about myself, but had honestly forgotten until Anne and I got into the lifestyle. After all, we had been happily dating/married for nine or so years before getting into the lifestyle, I was not actively seeking another life partner. I still wouldn’t say I am. Anne initially said she was interested in exploring polyamory if she found someone she had feelings for. I have stated before that polyamory freaks me out...

Why is this so much to ask? -OR- I am NOT a unicorn! (Syndicated)

by Life on the Swingset | Jan 03 2012

The prompt for this post was a misunderstanding between myself and a local member of the sex-positive community. He posted a status update on a social networking site stating that he was "seek[ing] bisexual, poly switch. Must be decisive, consistent and not fear commitment." I re-posted his statement on my Twitter account, thinking to myself, "Wow. That actually sounds a whole lot like what I'm looking for." I was surprised to see words that I found so very apt coming out of someone else's...
