Have you ever been in a polyamorous relationship? Would you consider anything unconventional?

Supposedly, there is a lot of polyamory going on in Seattle.

What are your thoughts?

Nope. I'm serial monogamous.

Frankly, I think it's a fancy term that people are using to hide the fact that they really are swingers and not having real "relationships".
I think it's *play relationship* which helps rationalize when it's really about sex.

Only if you're having sex with everyone you're dating...

I don't even date more than one person at a time.

Hi Antlered Chamataka,

I agree. I am more of a harem kind of guy. Its a good place to start the negotiating in any case. If your love interest has any kind of Madonna in the middle, surrounded by dancing beefsteak polyandry in mind you always have that Sultan chip on the table. Other wise if you start out with monogamy she might make you meet in the middle for an occasional pool boy. I started the bidding at a hundred but my wife whittled me down to one. I still call her my harem though
