I'm 'polyamorous'. That means that I have or desire multiple open and
honest romantic/sexual relationships. 'Polyamory' is not the
same thing as cheating or swinging; 'cheating' is a form of failed
monogamy, and swinging focuses more on sex while polyamory focuses more
on relationships.
My partner and I practice what's known as 'primary/secondary'
polyamory. We consider ourselves married (we had an Outlaw Wedding
2/22/1998) and our secondary partners are good friends. For more
information, see the following resources:
- The newsgroup alt.polyamory is my
primary on-line home. You don't even need to be poly; several of the
regulars are monogamous.
- The primary Web site for poly people is at
www.polyamory.org.
It's maintained by my primary partner,
Stef.
