I’ve seen this come up time and time again. Especially related to how soooo many folks in polyamorous relationships don’t want to commit, are just looking to have fun, don’t want a “serious” relationship..and I keep hearing this word… Lazy. I thought I’d drop it here, for posterity’s sake. And to engage a bit of …
I am not a mathematical person. I cannot tell you if 1+1=2, mathematically speaking. I know there are arguments, apparently both ways, where some say one plus one equals two– and some say it does not. Don’t ask me for the mathematical proof, please. I am, however, a relationship person. In relationships, 1+1=X. I would …
I’m eating bananas Foster French toast with a friend, and she just cannot grasp that my master (well, to her, he’s my “partner”) is with another woman… and I’m OKAY with it. I do not even bother explaining I’m actually turned on. She needs me to be gentle. After all, it’s only breakfast. I know …

“Social media isn’t real, anyway,” my friend shrugs. It’s true. It rarely speaks to our realities. Nobody wants to hear that kind of thing, at least not in that context. Time and place, as with everything. I do not spill it all on social media. These people are not my therapist. It’s unfair of me …
I found this comment by an insightful stranger very telling and deserving of thought every definition I looked up on the internet and books said ‘multiple romantic relationships’, every poly person I spoke with did not use the word ‘romantic’. They used emotional, intimate, affectionate, loving … but not one of them (and there were …

Being polyamorous is really no different than any other life. Especially if you have a few life skills already under your belt. Which…it might …
I love old movies. Raising Arizona is one of my favorite movies of all time. I apologize if I’m slightly spoiling this, but since it was released in 1987, well, I’ll put that on you :). There’s a scene in the movie where the main character tells Nathan Arizona that he and his wife are …

As I lie here in your arms, I stop thinking, worrying The moment could last million upon millions of years If it lasted an eternity, I would be happy I want nothing but the peace within this moment My breath matches your breath, an extension of your self My mind is blank I am empty, …
I’m walking around, and I overhear the words floating in a conversation, “They’re confused.” In my head, I know I’m supposed to vehemently deny such ignorance. “No, they’re not! You’re confused!” Except they rarely are, if I am quite honest. Misogynists, racists, idiots. Somehow, they’re never confused. No matter how long, rambling, and nonsensical their …
“What is wrong with me,” the sister queries through her tears as she confesses to cheating on her fiancé with a bartender. “Nothing is wrong with you,” Alma reassures her, “You’re human. You’re not perfect.” I appreciate the sentiment, but I think she deserves a little better than that. If I could, I’d say this …
