We have a consumer culture re: sex. People aren't satisfied with one pair of shoes that "works", they want a closet full of shoes, they want spares, they want one for when they're feeling one way, another for when they're feeling another way. And when you're bored with a pair of shoes? Just chuck them!

I'd rather be alone forever than be polyamorous.

In my day we called it free love. Our parents called it promiscuous (when they weren't calling it by nastier names) and said we were all going to hell.

Seriously I have been single for years! And if I hear that word polycule one more time I might puke. I guess some would say that I'm jealous. But I'm not. I just want to be loved. I've never been in love. And everyone I meet doesn't know what they want and they are just playing the field or don't want to be tied down to just one person right now. Poly is the new black.

We're all polyamorous on one level or another. How many people do you know who have only had one sexual partner? Human beings, or most of them, are not meant to be monogamous.

Yes, I know I'm referring to the human race as "them". There's a reason for that.

some of us heroes are out there breaking in all the new shoes so they are loose and comfortable and then we toss 'em for you to pick up.

poly partners is different than having one relationship. it's not comparable, having many partners is in someways easier because there is different expectations, it can be a lot looser with less commitment. I can't speak for all relationships but it is a totally different ball game. so don't compare yourself, when your looking for one partner and they have more than one. I find poly is easier to hunt for multiple partners, than when I am hunting for one...go figure...

What species are you?

It's awesome that we all different....
I could see myself in love and living with two men when I am older and the kids are gone.

This post makes no sense. Polyamorous being in love and relationship with more than one person at a time. That is not the same as free love in the 60's where it is about casual sex. Free love.......freedom. Being locked in a polyamorous where you may be the one who has to share....... I would much rather wait and having a loving man all to myself for a truly rewarding relationship. No sharing with someone else.......yuck.
