Poly Party Weekend!!! →
We’re excited to announce that our website for Poly Party Weekend 2012 is now live! A couple of years ago one of our team members, Mai Li, helped brainstorm a global event for community building and fundraising. That event (Poly House Party Weekend) had 16 parties on the same weekend in the U.S. and Canada and raised money for Loving More Nonprofit. This year we’ve opened up our...

We want to create a world where everyone can be open about their relationship choices - without worrying about losing jobs and losing children. We want to show the world that polyamorous people are normal, stable, healthy, friendly, contributing members of society. And we’re cute too!
After presenting this idea at a poly potluck, many people volunteered to have their pictures taken and...

See when I was in Junior Kindergarten, I had two boyfriends, but I mostly loved one. I had first been with Brandon, but then me and his best friend (Jake? Josh? John?) also had this cute love/hate thing going on.

But i’ve realized that monogamous relationships just don’t work for me. I have to be with a partner that also feels open and feels comfortable exploring sexuality and reaching out for their needs.

chopperhugs:
first of all, let’s remember that scripture does, as ian points out, include many, many examples of polygamous relationships. in fact, polygamy is treated as more socially and religiously acceptable than homosexuality in the first testament! however, such scriptural examples are obviously biased…

Polycule: Just so we're clear, →
polycule:
I’m not one for belittling arguments or petty insults with someone I disagree with. I much prefer thought-out and well-informed discussions, because that’s the only way either person will ever understand the other. If at any point I come off mean or belittling, please call me out on it.
So.
It’s…

tarahmichelle:
The most valuable lesson I am learning from my poly relationship is that its ok to be happy without feeling guilty. It is not selfish or wrong to have three lovers, especially when a majority of my time is spent coming up with different ways to make each individual feel adored and special. I keep…

melancholyguy:
I love how we are able to evolve and change in our non-monogamy. Our relationship just grows closer, and adapts to the people moving in and out of our lives. I was chatting with new poly gal today and she gave me a quote after talking about a recent second guy that couldn’t handle the poly life…
