Topic: Polyamourous

	On Being Poly
		Often in a polyamourous relationship, the participants are committed to everyone within the relationship, and not just one person.
		Expenses are also significantly reduced in a polyamourous household, as they are in any situation when multiple adults occupy the same house.
		Any polyamourous venture should be undertaken in complete trust on the part of both parties, no matter how relatively small an undertaking it might be.

		So a polyamourous person is one who is inclined, capable and desirous of having multiple sexual/love partners at once.
		A form of non-exclusive sexual monogamy in which two primary partners agree to have casual sex with other couples or singles as long as there is no emotional involvement (usually practiced by straight couples).
		As a Polyamourous person having spoken with other poly friends, I have come to realize that these are two important features most people who embark down the poly path have to deal with.

	Poly People I Can Do Without
		I have written about what poly means to me and there has been plenty of discussion on what polyamory means to various members of the community.
		They call themselves "polyamourous" as an attempt to legitimize ego-centric behavior, or because they can't trust themselves to be honest or faithful.
		I'm tired of people claiming to be polyamourous when all they really want is a "guilt-free" opportunity to get their rocks off with whomever is available when they're horny, without regard to the consequences to the other person, OR their other partner(s).

	Gayety: Polyamourous Legality (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The chances of any court making a value judgement that Harvey and Stewart are in a de-facto relationship is close to nil, for many reasons too boring to list.
		However, knowing a few parties living in co-habitating polyamourous families, I am fascinated with the idea that such relationships can exist in a legal sense outside of Utah or the Netherlands:
		Cases such as D v McA [1986] also make it clear that a person may be in a de facto relationship notwithstanding that they are married to another or engaging in a sexual or other close relationship with another.

		They discuss what has been going on in each other's lives, which inevitably leads to "Are you seeing anyone?" The lanky hippie girl responds, in all seriousness, with a lament on how difficult it is to maintain a "Polyamourous Relationship" for more than 2 years.
		I was all ears.) She threw the term "Polyamourous Relationship" around as if she were an anthropologist living with a strange new breed of monkey or something, as if this relationship she was having was all a part of her grad school thesis.
		The other woman just sat there nodding, furiously attempting to seem nonjudgmental and real cool about the polyamourous thing, as if she has lots of friends who have group sex and she was very familiar with the trials and tribulations of having multiple partners.

		But what if one’s polyamourousness serves as a response (appropriate or otherwise) to the prior existence of diminishment in a monogamous relationship?
		Could one’s embrace of the polyamourous lifestyle be an effective antidote to preexisting diminishment, or might it only, inevitably foster further diminishizationishness?

		Others I know have intimate lives that revolve around disciplinary roles, such as those portrayed in "The Secretary." What matters most to me, is that they care for each other and can talk about something other than themselves or their sexuality if we share a meal.
		So, I must suggest that the ideal Christian relationship is something closer to what we see in convents and monasteries.
		It is also interesting, to me, that if one were to add sex to this model it more closely resembles polyamourous relationships than traditional heterosexual ones.

		Everett not only depicts her closest friends—which include famous lesbian porn producers and life partners Jackie and Shar and erotic photographer Phyllis Christopher—questioning her need to process about being in love with love, but attempting an intervention of sorts about her need to get it all on camera.
		As Phyllis explains to the camera “She wants to videotape the ten minutes that we have to talk because she’s polyamourous, and then she wonders why our relationship is falling apart.”
		In a telling scene, Karen sincerely asks Phyllis if she would like to go to therapy together to try to iron out their friendship, and Phyllis says she will, only to be asked a seemingly-scripted question about what she hopes therapy will accomplish.

	Fetish Alliance - Pamphlet 3: Polyamorous Considerations
		A Polyamourous person is one who has, seeks to have or is inclined to have multiple relationships with more than one partner in sexual and/or romantic ways at the same time.
		Each partner within a polyamourous relationship gets to set their own parameters about what is appropriate "poly" behavior for themselves.
		Most partnerships are formed when two or more parties agree on what the parameters for their involvements will be.

		I guess he hasn't been totally open with me. He told me about her but didn't tell me the full story and he kept us apart because he was scared of losing one of us.
		To be in a happy polyamourous relationship you have to be able to trust that the others are not doing things behind your back that would hurt you.
		Once one party lies then I think that you are on a hiding to nothing.

		It does not seem to us that it is the place of religious, or governmental bodies for that matter, to determine a "proper" form of Individuals relationships with each other.
		People are all different, some people are naturally polyamourous, some naturally monogamous, and some are of other orientations (probably unidentified, partially due to the difficulty in obtaining rational discussion of these issues).
		Most difficulties seem to arise when people, intentionally or nonintentionally misidentify themselves, such as when someone who actually is of a monogamous orientation, enters into a relationship which is defined as polyamourous, or vice versa and then finds out that they are unable to maintain such relationship.

	Adrian's Adultery Site - are you ready for extramarital affairs?
		After some time on the net it became obvious to me that there was an abundance of resources for people who were single, gay, lesbian, sadists, masochists, swinging couples, polyamourous etc. and very little for married men and women seeking a conventional 'affair'.
		It is not for swinging couples, gay men, men looking for prostitutes, lesbians or the polyamourous - there are other web resources for these people (and good luck to them).

		Perhaps nothing would change between my partner and I. Until recently, I was being actively polyamourous, while she chose to remain polyamourous in ethics while being monogamous in reality.

		Back in the long ago days when some places accepted polyamourous marriage, I think the women were opressed, so men made the decisions and women kinda did what they were told.
		I've also heard that there were some matriarchial societies where the opposite occured.

	Polyamoury and Society in Huxley's Brave New World and Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land
		Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and the second half of Robert A. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land both address superficially utopic societies which promote polyamourous relationships--those that involve having more than one sexual or emotional partner.
		The two novels approach these relationships from different angles and deal with their advantages and disadvantages in very distinct ways.
		It becomes clear, then, that neither Huxley nor Heinlein is advocating nor condemning polyamourous lifestyles.

		That’s the “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Questioning, Intersexed, and Polyamourous” community, in case you’re wondering—or the Queer Alphabet, as some call it.
		Awkward as it is, the value we place on inclusion keeps us busy adding letters, while Dunn’s politics seem intent on closing the big tent down.

		A polyamourous relationship is a nice idea, in theory: if you love her, let her go, and all that jazz.
		San Francisco-based filmmaker Karen Everett, perhaps best known for Framing Lesbian Fashion (1996), has made an assortment of non-fiction films about lesbian sex, lifestyle, and relationships.
		However, this confessional and extremely intimate autobiographical piece, which centers on Everett’s own polyamourous love life, her failed past relationships, and her ideas about how to create a workable future with her lover Erin, is hands down, her most self-revealing.
