Blogger looking to experiment with Polyamory.

[Rman]

Polyamory simply means having multiple intimate relationships at the same time. I’m not going to dive too deep into explaining the details at this time. If you want to learn more about it, you can Google polyamory and find some good sites devoted to the topic.

In practice, polyamorous relationships can get complicated because you’re dealing with multiple partners. I believe I have a good shot of making this work. I’m a pretty conscious guy, and since I don’t have a job, I have a lot more free time than most people. Plus I love challenges.

I guess the main challenge would be finding other partners who are open to this sort of thing. Obviously it’s not very mainstream. But neither is raw food, juice feasting, being happily jobless, experimenting with polyphasic sleep, or many of other things I’ve done.

What appeals to me about polyamory is that it’s a way for people to learn to share love and connection without trying to possess each other. It feels a lot more free and open to me than a closed marriage situation.

Is this just about having sex with other people? No, if that was all I wanted, I could just go pick up some tourist women on the Strip.

The truth is that I love connecting with Erin physically and emotionally, and I want to enjoy that kind of connection with other women too. I can use self-discipline to try to deny those feelings, but that would require turning my back on the principle of Love, which is a big no-no. In this case I have to follow my heart.

He actually convinced his wife to go along.

"Honey, I just had a great idea!"

One of my best friends did this. His live-in GF was bisexual and brought home chicks all the time. Sometimes he got to join in. But he had multiple serious and casual relationships with other women as well, all with her full knowledge. The guy had a good time, all the time, as per Spinal Tap.

...until she went on a coke binge, drained his bank account, fled the country and made Interpol's 'wanted' list. I'm being completely serious.

... Ok

One of my favorite bloggers (and quite a popular one at that) is a polyamorist.

I've been reading the blog so long that it seems old hat to me, but inevitably someone finds out about it for the first time every couple months and freaks out in the comments.

So I see you condone his lifestyle.  Have fun in HELL then.

This reminded me of a Jimmy Carr skit where he encountered two fuck friends in the audience.

One significant relationship is enough work--I don't need any more than that!

That Steve Car bit is excellent. Man, who is dumb enough to tell a comedian to "Move along"?

CONGRATULATIONS. THE MONSTER HAS NOTICED YOU.
