Polyamorous Open Love

Here is a place for people who are would like multiple sexual or romantic relationships at the same time, with the consent of all partners involved.

Solo polyamory: Flipping these words around, polyamory is, broadly speaking, one approach to engaging in (or being open to having) ethically nonexclusive relationships involving sex, romance, or deep emotional intimacy. What distinguishes solo poly people is that we generally do not have intimate relationships which involve (or are heading toward) primary-style merging of life infrastructure or identity along the lines of the standard social relationship escalator. For instance, we generally don’t share a home or finances with any intimate partners. Similarly, solo poly people generally don’t identify very strongly as part of a couple (or triad etc.); we prefer to operate and present ourselves as individuals.


Although there is no standard form for polyamorous relationships, following are some examples of possible guidelines to which they might subscribe:
Honest and open relationships only. The only participate in intimate relationships which are both fully honest (that is, all major partners and metamours know about each other, and the nature/extent of those connections) and sexually and romantically non exclusive.
Metamour relationships. Everyone in a relationship network affects each other, directly and indirectly. What and who might affect, so we can all take each other into consideration and more realistically grasp the context of overlapping relationships.
Don’t do hierarchy. Only full respect and consideration as a human being.
No defaults or assumed obligations.  Partners does not entitled to each other’s time, attention, affection, sex, etc. Our relationship does not oblige us in any ways aside from mutual honesty, respect and consideration.
Safer sex.
Constructive communication  to communicate calmly, directly, clearly, constructively and as promptly as possible with partners (and, if necessary, metamours) regarding key questions, concerns, boundaries or issues involving our relationship or relationship network. It’s OK, and healthy, to express strong feelings; but it’s not OK for us to interact in a blaming, accusatory, condescending, entitled, manipulative or abusive way.
My view
Not everyone is emotionally suited for a polyamorous lifestyle. In order for polyamorous relationships to work, a great deal of communication is required and it is imperative that each person involved is aware of and in agreement with the specific terms of that relationship.
