Shit Poly People Say

[briannastarfish]

Most of the things these people are saying are about sex. It's clear these people are less about having relationships with multiple people, and more about having sex with multiple people. I thought that was the stereotype poly people were trying to break, and that's why a lot of poly people say "We're not swingers".

[briannastarfish]

15) "I'm jealous." THEEEEEEEEN WHY ARE YOU POLY IF YOU ARE JEALOUS? If you're capable of being jealous, this is not a thing for you.

I can relate to the part about not being able to list several partners on facebook. But what I've listed are foreign concepts to me. I couldn't stand being in a relationship with anyone who actually acted like this, or said any of this to me.

[briannastarfish]

13) "I'm not jealous, I'm envious." You can only be envious of something you don't have. That's what envy means. That's also what jealousy means.

14) "I'm not jealous, I'm frustrated." With what? Somebody else's behaviour? Somebody else's activities? Somebody else's enjoyment?

Continued....

[briannastarfish]

9) "I'm fine if you sleep with her, I might just be triggered if you kiss her." Another foreign concept to me. What a shame that you might be triggered by someone else's happiness.

10) "I'm really working on my conpersion right now." What is conpersion?

11) "I've been going through this heterosexual phase recently." I don't even see what this has to do with polyamoury. It's totally off-topic.

12) "I'm not dissing monogamy." Shouldn't we be dissing it? Monogamy is awful.

[briannastarfish]

5) "I'm not ready to talk to you while I'm in the middle of my process?" What is a process?

6) "I'm so polysaturated right now." What's polysaturated?

7) "Safe sex contract." Contract? Talk about overthinking it.

8) "What are my boundaries for tonight?" Again with the whole boundaries thing and asking for permission.

@briannastarfish 5) Sometimes one's initial reaction to a situation is not the truest one because of a lack of understanding of that situation. The time and thoughts that go into getting to a final outcome is the process.

6) Polysaturated = having no more time for extra partners, having enough/too many partners already

(cont.)

[superkate999]

@briannastarfish

7) Safer sex/fluid bonding is complicated. In order to feel relatively safe that you're not gonna catch an STI from your partner's goings on, it can help to understand exactly what is/isn't likely to happen, and that you are informed if you are put at risk. That level of neurosis really works for some people, but I realize it's not for everybody.

8) Again, refer to my respect and consideration rant.

[briannastarfish]

4) "I think you're great, but my girlfriend said no." Sorry to dwell on this point, but your girlfriend doesn't have a right to say no. She can only say no for herself. If one of my partners said they were going to go out and have sex with a disease-ridden prostitute, for example, I'd have every right to advise against it and never have sex with him again, but I have no right to say no, because its his life.

Continued...

[superkate999]

@briannastarfish To repeat myself also, this is not so much of a right as a concession made (willingly) out of respect. Poly doesn't necessarily equate to emotional anarchy every time. Some people like to take the hopes/needs/desires of their partners into account when having a long-term relationship.

[briannastarfish]

3) "Valentines day". Who gives a flying cunt about Valentine's Day? The thought of even trying to ATTEMPT Valentine's Day, let alone even acknowledging it as a holiday worth celebrating, didn't even cross mine or my partners' minds. It's a holiday CELEBRATING monogamy. "Will you be mine?", "Be my valentine" etc etc.

Continued...

[superkate999]

@briannastarfish Well, it is obvious that you don't appreciate Valentine's Day, but as financial retail data suggests, millions of people do. Go figure.

[briannastarfish]

2) "My husband said we could have sex, but you have to get me home by midnight." Why should anybody have the right to set boundaries on another person, especially in a polyamorous relationship? People shouldn't have to ask permission to do something in your life. You might have a responsibility to inform someone, but you don't have a responsibility to ask for permission.

Continued...

[superkate999]

@briannastarfish In some poly relationships, people care about a current partner and they are willing to make concessions in their behavior in order to make the comfort of that partner a consideration. It's not out of duty, it's out of not being an asshole.

[briannastarfish]

I have some questions and comments:

1) Why say "I don't believe in labels" and then follow up immediately with "I'm a people-sexual, I'm a love-sexual, I'm a mutant-sexual"?

[superkate999]

@briannastarfish Because it's funny, duh.

[rumtussle]

Ouch! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! How many of these lines were taken by following me around for a couple of years and repeating stuff I say verbatim!!

[SlashJunky]

This is great, but would've been better if the editing didn't have so much dead air.

[PatrickCinderflame]

/facepalm...

[bbwa1969]

"I'm in a polyfidelitous, non-intersecting V-Triad. What's so hard to understand about that?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[ErikratKhandnalie]

@bbwa1969 I lold so hard at that...... because I *am* in a polyfideliyous non-intersecting v-triad!!! Hahahahaha!

[bbwa1969]

@ErikratKhandnalie And more power to you, mate! It's just not something I've ever heard someone say. ;-) I'm guessing that means the person has two partners who don't interact on an intimate level, who are exclusive to their own partners. I was also in that exact situation - until Valentine's day, when one of them left me. :'( Now It's just the one partner and I. I think I will keep it that way for a while.

[retsilagnilooc]

Jeepers, what a sexy group of people!

That Silas particularly, phwoarr!

[myrrhlarsen]

I like the part where the woman refers to monogamy as a fetish.

[soozzip]

"FB sucks! They won't let me list my financee because he's already married. I feel like I'm in Nazi Germany!" - *brilliant* satire. Dovetails so well with the First World Problems meme.

[DarkStarAndia]

That was great!

Hahahaha 'This will be easier if I draw you a diagram'

That's a problem with English, nothing else :3

Ha!It's awesome for us to be able to laugh at ourselves. Maybe not the best piece of advertizement, but still fun as humor.

And, moments of *hilarious!* "This will be easier if I draw you a diagram.".....hehehe. Truth.
