Anyone out there??

Nope. Everyone is in here.

I mean poly people

Did you bring crackers?

Is it safe to assume you are 'polygamous pansexual '?
No judgement in my asking.
But I believe there are mostly 'heterosexual monogamist' here.
Myself i'm ' hetro-sapiousexual monogamist '

Welcome.

OMG........ cracked me up! I brought some though!

Thank you...for putting this out here. ((((Sassy))))

Saves time.. I like to get to the point...

So that's why I have so many sapiosexuals jamming my inbox.

Hey... I don't know how many of myself, I can have to love You !

Sorry I focus on 1 person at a time

Actually, I was hoping I was 'Sappy' enough for IamwhoIam1.

Sheik!

I think this goes back to knowing thyself well. I know that it works for some and works well. I can't remember the stat's on this, I do remember it is very low.
Me personally I do know myself very well and this wouldn't work out for me or my partner.

Ya..so there!

So there...

That's Partners isn't it.

YLD, you've made my day. Bless you.

This entire subject is so very rare and polarizing that I can vividly imagine being declared a heretic and burned at the proverbial stake.

It's such a near-unique and misunderstood mindset. I've never been possessive. And, with very few exceptions, have seldom had anyone in my life that understood how that can be.

From the earliest time I can remember considering it, the idea/institution of 'monoamory' (might be my own word; someone else can check Funk & Wagnall's if they'd like) seemed to me to be the equivalent of slavery.

I hope you don't go away soon, YLD. I hope other Minglers will weigh in, pro and con. And I really hope the responses in this thread don't devolve into prejudice and idiocy. If nothing else, it'll be a glimpse into a subset of the relationship equation that seldom gets illuminated.

I'm in complete agreement with Sassy's generous gesture: Welcome, YouLuckyDuck.

I never expected to have the opportunity to discuss this here.

open relationship= permission to cheat.

Weighed in.
