Did this on another site, and for the same reason. There are some who have honest questions about polyamorus, and its subsequent forms. I will answer as best I can, and should, in most cases, be able to point you towards answers for what I don't know. This thread is so that we don't thread jack others with this topic.
Nothing to ask but I have seen a good number of poly women and have had a few great threesomes. I'm all for it!
Dated a professional ballet dancer for awhile. Turns out the world of ballet is basically one big orgy! Men with men, women with women, men and women, her first threesome was in ballet camp. And it makes sense when you think about it. They are all extremely fit physically and engage in highly sensual performances. They tend to be passionate and work very closely and intimately. She told me that ballet dancers come in two basic types: Sluts and princesses. LOL!
No, I have no interest in men, But when I was sixteen I had sex with my boss's wife while he watched LOL! They were in their 30s and he apparently just liked watching other "men" have sex with his wife. And she couldn't get enough. My boss eventually started pressuring me to stop by after school and help take care of her because he couldn't keep up. I ran into one woman on a hookup site who was looking for two men to have their first homosexual experience while she watched. LOL!!! At first it threw me and I certainly wasn't interested, but after thinking about it it made sense. How many men wouldn't like watching two women have their first lesbian experience? In my last threesome, the one young lady had never been with another woman. In fact I arranged it because she was dying to be with another woman but never had the nerve to ask. It was a fantastic evening. We ALL had an amazing time.
Since I am not sure whether this was directed at me or HWGA, I'll answer, which is no. While I have a husband, we are not sexually attracted to each other. I don't have any sexual attraction for men. Closest I get is being able to look at men like John Barrowman and see why women and gay men are sexually attracted to him. With that said, open and poly are two different things. Open usually refers to sexual relationships, while poly is romantic or emotional relationship. While sexual does typically come with emotional, it doesn't always.
So you are really just very close friends? I knew the difference between poly and open but never thought about poly men who are in sexless relationships. So you don't have sex with anyone?
Some people want to claim that all it is. But just as you can be sexually attracted to a person without being romantically attracted, so too is the opposite true. And women. Poly is actually quite attractive,n puns intended, for those who are asexual as well. They can have a partner who can fulfill their emotional needs, and that partner can have another partner who can fulfill their sexual needs. It's also been a boon for people with vastly different sex drives. I have sex with both my wives. My husband only has sex with with the wife that is legally his, and the wife that is legally mine only has sex with me. We are all frequently starkers around the house when none of the (all now adult) kids are around.
Polygamy isn't legal. Do you mean women you see as wives, or you aren't really married to your husband?
Polyamory, or ethical non-monogamy, is having more than one emotionally intimate relationship at the same time. One of the key parts of it is knowledge and communication. Now the only thing your partners need to know about each other, is their existence and what sexual safety (if sex is involved) is being taken. Anything more is up to those involved. By contrast, an open relationship is one where sex occurs outside the primary relationship, but it's not an emotional relationship. It also falls under ethical non-monogamy insofar as your partners should know of each other. Polyamory may or may not include marriage among some or all the partners. Configurations can vary greatly between groupings and chains, and depending on who is involve with who and how.
I was married for over 25 years but have been seeing sugar babies for 7 years now. To whom are you legally married requires that I wait and see where you are going? Um, okay.
Thanks for the explanation. Spontaneous reaction: Can one really be romantically attatched to more than one person at once? When ever romantic obsession has hit me, it has always been with only one woman at the time.
Usually this next question works best on those still married, but..... When you were, if suddenly the government decided that they would no longer legally recognize marriage and there was no legal benefits, would you still have been calling that woman your wife, and still.be claiming to be in a marriage?
Did I? I did a search and didn't see it. So I thought it was the other one. Wasn't trying to duplicate it.
You don't have to talk to me like I'm 5. The answer is you consider them wives or whatever. That isn't complicated.
Yes it's possible, and with most people. We see this when people have affairs in which they reach that point of not knowing who they love more and want to stay with. What most people can't do is handle more than one relationship at a time; naturally monogamous people. A lot of monogamous people, when starting to feel that romantic feeling towards someone other than their SO either stifle the feelings or separate themselves from the new attraction.
