How do you guys feel about polyamory? (younger, children, sex)

[monumentus]

Yeah when I said my relationship is uncommon I was specifically referring to the culture in which the majority of us live on this forum. The type of things "common" in other parts of the world likely seem normal to many of them too - but to me personally and subjectively would be horrific. Arranged marriages would certainly not be for me I must say - to randomly pluck an example.

How do you get medical insurance for both of your women?

Perhaps it works different in the country I am in - but they have their own. Medical insurance is different in Europe I think

Step one: Pose an opinion question in a thread, a la : "How do you guys feel about..."

Step two: Proceed to get irritated and offended when people post "how they feel about..."

Seems like a great use of time.

Relationships are never perfect, have ups and downs and no one ever will totally fulfill us, but being committed to that person, is what love is really about.

That person or those PEOPLE - given what this thread is about. There is nothing in romantic commitment that demands it be focused on one person.

I like the concept of being able to love more than one person romantically and allowing your partner to also seek love from others. I'm not sure if I could do it, but I find the concept interesting.

Is anyone here in a poly relationship? What are the main challenges?

I am very new to this concept; However i did a research for the meaning of the word. I found that it basically means to have multiple sexual partners. In your instance, I am assuming that you want to share sexual encounter with multiple partners.
There are risk involve with such promiscuous behavior such as:

• sexual transmitted diseases (STDs) &STI
• Emotional attachment. One party may develop strong emotional feelings and if you are already involve in an existing relationship this may cause conflict.

so that my opinion on the matter. Personally I wouldn't even consider such thing.

Wish I had known the word polyamory when I had two girl friends that knew each other and they wanted me to make a decision. I could have bought more time enjoying doing them both had I known the word.
