Like you its always appealed to me. I've always wanted to be part of a ménage a trois with a bi couple or two bi fems.
Sharing and adoring two or three lovers all at the same time mmmmmm. For me the emotional dimension enhances the sex xxx jim |

"I would like to explore the poly lifestyle but no idea how to get started.... "
You go out with one person...
...then you go out with another. That's pretty much how you get started. |

it's not easy finding one long term partner, finding more than one is where all parties get on is extremely difficult, did it once with 3 of us for just short of a year but never found that balance since. |

I think poly life is a difficult one.. We love to play with, share and indulge with other hot females and most become really really close, but even though it sounds like the dream ideal for any man to have two hotties by his side I can honestly say I could never love another woman like I love my wife!! I think the adventures we have together are amazing, but mostly because they are "our" adventures .. |

I don't rely get it...
I have several "friends", we go out together, party together, fuck each other, shoot the breeze....
But at no stage has anyone felt the need to create an "official" relationship...
Fair play to those who can... But contrary (spelling?) to popular belief...
Love is a very destructive emotion and as a man of logic, I can't see any in that equation.

We're open to expanding our family and community emotionally, spiritually, and sexually... but its not really a "lifestyle" in our eyes... just something that may or may not happen if we're open to it. For us, perhaps the nicest way of envisaging it happening is that we'd swing a bit, make some "close" friends... then start holidaying together, before investigating living near each other and setting up something of a mini-community. We kinda live this way anyway... have pretty much an open door policy... enjoy organising parties... and have forged some strong friendships and some fleeting but fun friendships along the way. We just haven't opened it up sexually before. Looking back we've had a few "doh" moments when we've realised that different people were trying to suggest having sex with us but we just didn't pick it up on the radar... we were soo naive 
Anyway peace and love to all you hippy free lovers. Great to find you here... a while back it seemed like we were the only ones on here with this mindset so its nice not to feel that were the freaks  |

Have you looked up Relationship Anarchy? Sounds like what you're doing. It's the kind of poly my partners and I practice. |

"It's not for everyone, but go for it OP. I recommend reading Opening Up: a guide to creating and sustaining open relationships, by Tristan Taormino as a good place to start.  "

I've said this before, but...
I don't read books... Or articles anymore, I spend my life reading technical crap and I hate books now....
So I rely on smart, knowledgeable, people like yourself, to explain concepts to me.
I might of overstated the above a little though, one girl has gone to Oz for a year and I might not see people from one week/month to the next.
We more enjoy each other's company and trust each other and now and then just enjoy each other...
Not really just fuck each other when we please... It's much more just friends.
That's really badly explained. |

Grow some feathers and a beak and eat shit loads of cuttlefish, would imagine it gets a bit mundane stuck in a cage most of the time though, unless you're in the wild I guess. Still, live an let live, I'd rather be a tiger personally, or a llama |

I'm not going to explain things to you that are written in seven bullet points if you google for them. What a waste of my time. |

The relationship side of things certainly interests me. I would love to have the emotional connection a poly relationship has.
Swinging is ok for non strings fun but to me something is missing...... And I am not after the marriage thingy!!!
Just a deep connection with fellow peeps. Mean while happy fabbing!!!  |

I tried unsuccessfully to grow cauliflower. The bugs would annihilate them every time. Once I got the poly tunnel things got so much better. I recommend the poly life style! |

Try 'meet up' - it's a website with several groups that allow curious members to learn about poly and explore in a safe environment (you won't be leapt upon at the first meeting) |

It's not something we could do. But that's not knocking people who do, everyone has the right to live their life as they choose as long as it's legal and No one gets hurt.Or they are forced into it.
Then fine.
Viva la difference. |

I sort of have, quite a long time ago. I regularly used to sleep/ go out with a couple both together and individualy. To be honest I was a bit of a spare part at times. As it was very much them as a couple with me as a bit of a play thing. |

I was actually very close to being part of a poly relationship. But then after 4 months of regular living and playing together, the outside person started to get too emotionally attached too quick, jealous and slightly controlling. Clean break |

I want to live in my poly as I think sharing a home helps

Personally i like celebrating a dumb card manufacturers holiday
I only celebrate it with one person though as i only have one partner as i don't get the poly thingy, swinging with others is fine but not into relationships with anyone other than my lovely hubby

"I like the idea of married woman or man having a long term rel with a boyfriend and girlfriend that they don't live with. Anyone any experience of this?"
I don't have a marriage contract, but I live with one partner and have a long term relationship with another that I don't live with. |

Hi Bibunny, hope this thread's been helpful! If you're much of a reader I'd definitely recommend The Ethical Slut which covers some of the behavioural stuff to consider, but most importantly I'd recommend talking honestly with your current partner about what you both would feel comfortable with *and* with any potential partners what level of intensity they want from a relationship. For some people a committed relationship is spending one night a week at your house is a committed relationship, while for others that's casual - and the anxiety that results from misinterpreting each other's behaviour can be a real pitfall. Also I'd definitely encourage you to get along to some poly meetups on kink websites etc., not to scope out new partners but to talk to other poly people about the day-to-day experience of it all. Best of luck! |

For what it's worth, feel free to PM us and either myself or Mrs V would be happy to answer anything specifically. We've been poly for about nine months now, so we've got pretty fresh memories of how it all started. |
