Considering the God Squad thinks the only reason any of us are agnostic/atheist is so we can do whatever we want without consequences and turn this planet into one giant hedonistic party, would you ever be part of a polyamorous relationship?
Your survey is not exhaustive (adjusts glasses). Jokes!
I try to never say "never". I think it's highly doubtful that I would ever find myself in such a situation, but hey, you never know.
What other people do is none of my business. As long as everyone is of legal age and gives their informed consent, no one should have anything to say.
What was it that John Lennon said about bombs dropping and making love in the streets? Love more than one person at one time? Share the risks and rewards I say.
I was with a guy who was into this sort of relationship. Except, at the time I didn't know it. I found out by a friend that he was screwing another girl, and I knew he didn't like to use condoms so I had MAJOR problems with this. If you're going to screw different people let them know because ain't nobody trying to share diseases and shit. I also find it disrespectful to not tell the person, sooo. Never again though. I'm just too territorial for all that mess.
Fully poly for just over 4 years now. Would, could, should never go back. It was a natural for me and also the ladies that I have been with since. I have only one partner at the moment that I live with and have basically the whole time. She is also very poly and would have it no other way. We are very secure with each other and would never be apart for more than a day or two. Never been so happy or so much in love.
From my inexperienced perspective: I don't think polyamory should be entered into lightly, but I think it could be a positive experience for the right people with a positive attitude and honest communication. Relationships have become a one-size-fits-all endeavor, where one person is expected to satisfy every role for another: partner, lover, confidant, best friend, cohabitant, co-parent, intellectual equal, activity partner, moral support, and on and on. I think emotionally healthy, self-aware people with a solid foundation to their relationship can decide for themselves whether an open relationship is right for them, whether there's value in it either as a simple thrill of novelty or as a long-term arrangement with other, secondary partner's. It's probably not for most people/relationships, though, and I'm afraid a lot of people turn to polyamory because there's something fundamentally broken in the primary relationship — and adding volatility isn't likely to fix anything. I figure it can work only when a couple is honest with themselves and each other about their motivations and needs, and to have a solid underlying foundation that doesn't threaten the stability of the primary relationship when other people are added to the dynamic.
Yes. I would even prefer polyamory. On the whole, poly people seem to work harder to communicate and keep one another happy in my experience. Plus, finding another asexual person is difficult and I don't expect a person who needs and wants sex to go without just because they aren't getting it from me.
I wouldn't do it. But it is one of those times I can't see myself there... I would never be in a situation where that kind of relationship could work. I respect and I don't mind at all people doing it.
It's weird how I have this situation. In my last two previous relationship, I was being used and it was expensive. So, I put it out to the universe, I want to be in total control of my next relationship. And it happened... I got into a relationship with a submissive. She told me, she has to be monogamous and I get to do whatever I want. Ok, great! But I noticed she tried to subtly manipulate/control me into monogamous relationship. I would have to order her to find me another girl and I know she would do it, but I'm not ready for that level of drama in my life.
