I’m just rewatching naked attraction with the poly couple, and I can’t help but think what a lovely situation that must be. Sitting here thinking I’d be happy with either a two Male one female or two female one male situation and how it could just work!
I have my own views, but why do you think it’s so frowned upon in western civilisation? Is it just religion and learned behaviour? Or is there more to it? |

I don't do religion, but obviously those that do, have their own parameters. Let them get on with it, whatever floats someone else's boat usually has absolutely nothing at all to how they want to be perceived in everyday life, just like the rest of us really. |

I dont do religion either, but it’s factor that drips through the everyday perception of everyday people in everyday life.

Honestly a poly relationship is such a dream for me! Youd rarely be lonely as one partner would probably be home the same time as you, youd have so much more financial stability as a triad...theres just so many pluses to it.
I think it takes a certain kind of person to thrive in this kind of relationship, and anyone that doesn't just sees it as wrong or cheating?
It's the same bias as homophobic people, they hate what they cant understand or are too ignorant to understand. |

And the extra person would add an extra dynamic! As well as the potential to take some of the ‘strain’ of a relationship that inevitably comes.
I just can’t see a downside as long as everyone is happy? |

I think that poly is a totally acceptable concept but it does come with considerable issues. Mostly we have, in the west, a preconceived idea regarding relationships that being that two is enough. Now I personally don't agree with this and feel that love doesn't hold much regard for numbers. So if it works for you then that's cool with me....  VT x |

So many pluses you say? There are obviously so many minuses as well along the way.
I was offered a relationship on this scale from a lady off here who came to stop with me for 4 nights, I had to turn it down as I couldn't be doing with her for a fifth night, let alone some random bloke who I had never met   |

I couldn’t agree more. It’s certainly a western conception that it’s “man and wife” etc. Look of some other cultures, several wives etc. But I don’t seee the issue with several “husbands” in the same respect, that’s just male dominance when it comes down to it.
I was involved in a duck relationshio once and the only reason I’m still not was the disparity in the equality of it all |

Equity is the key. The question is how do you achieve it? Do you have a democratic system or do you have a head person who makes the final decisions? |

Yeah, but poly isn’t about “some random bloke” it’s about people who know each other and get along and have a shared relationship. |

I believe many of the world religions in there originality have there own versions of polyramous, if open relationships are now more accepted I believe polgramojs is just a more stable version of that, that’s my two pence |

We’ve watched all of You Me Her and my main view is that yeah it can work, but I’d wonder if it was different if t was like the scenario in the programme where a couple who have been together for years introduce a girl into their relationship, vs 3 people meeting more or less at the same time.
Things like ‘in jokes’ or experiences the first 2 people shared etc I’d worry would be something that brings the original people close but leaves the third a bit left out.
Not sure I could share feelings with someone else but more than happy to share the physical side.

I think we've had such long term indoctrination to expecting just a couples relationship that for too many people it's too big a contrast to have a poly relationship. In more recent years, we've had this fairytale romance centred on 2 people wanting this as a dream come true, that children grow up with massive pressure to get this after leaving school and getting to adulthood. Religion has definitely Hi been part of the driving force for many years and it worked well to constrain and control people. |

Sounds good in theory. But it's hard enough to tread a fair and balanced path with two people in a relationship. A third makes it hugely more difficult to balance. |

I guess I'd have to try it to see if it works! I can see the attractions. Whether religious or not the legal norm of a heterosexual couple in the UK is derived from biblical teaching. Although the UK has broadened this to homosexual couples now ... so perhaps never say never?! |

I can see how it can work but i dont think it would be for me. I cant imagine loving all equally. However people with more than one child love them equally so im sure it could work in a relationship |

The idea of a poly lifestyle really resonates with me. I have so much respect for people who live this way. To be able to find one person that you connect with is difficult enough, but to form multiple connections I find just beautiful! The key is always openness and honesty and compromise I think.

My view is that there’s no way I could share a woman full time with another woman , man , tv , ts or gender fluid person . I wouldn’t want a sexual relationship with anyone other than a woman . So since I know I wouldn’t want to share , it wouldn’t work for me at all . |

"We live in a society conditioned towards monogamy, it's good to see polyamory slowly becoming more accepted, but there's still a long way to go
I'm not a big believer in monogamy"
I agree, I don't believe human beings are designed to be monogamous. And I also believe that applied societal rules are wrong. When it comes to relationships we should be free to live how we wish. |

It appeals when I’m feeling really horny. However, when I’ve got PMT the thought of a multiple murder taking place isn’t a good one.
Far easier and less messy to just arrange a meet I think

It certainly isn’t a lifestyle for everyone. Happenstance and changing situations can unwittingly reprogram the mindset. I doubt if it often happens from conscious rational decision making |

Having lived in Polygamous societies in the Middle East, I’ve learnt that because it’s socially acceptable and cultural it’s still difficult for those women. I do wonder how it works in conventional societies though? Do all 3 accept social invitations? Where do they spend their Christmases? Can there really be equity? Just some thoughts .....

I watched about a series and a half of that, but it got annoying after a while (binge watching) with the big dramas being instantly forgotten. It was also a bit fast paced for me (she moved in after a week!) |
