I know many polyamoric people and they all say, it is hard in the beginning, it is complicated, but once you get through it, very rewarding.

I had a second partner one year ago and it failed miserably, but it did deepen my relationship with my primairy even further.

This topic is pretty old maybe you are not interested in it anymore.

I am still interested in all my videos. I think conversations are ongoing. Thanks for this personal example of polyamory. I think by just having conversations about ways that people love and live will create acceptance and tolerance of different ways of life. Thanks again. :)

i guess its fine if thats how you wanna roll.but i love my girlfriend.like more than anything.i couldnt even think about being with anyone except her.niether of us are religious.but i mean.if thats how other ppl wanna do it and if there comfortable i guess it could work.

[QTALKPDX]

I know what you mean. I'm with my partner (check out the response vid, that's her, before we got together) and I couldn't imagine being with someone else. But I do think that polyamory is plausible and works for some people. Thanks for your input!

[QTALKPDX]

Well, she is pretty fabulous.

Ironically, there was one religion born in the USA that was polyamory (Mormonism). We can see how well that worked out for them. I think that the sociological culture in America has changed (although slowly) as to our view of alternative relationships (such as homosexual relationships). However, I will agree that religion does place certain pressures over what a relationship should be defined as.

Is it right? Is it wrong?

If people are happy, that means it's right. =D

It isn't for everyone, just like same-sex or opposite-sex relationships aren't for everyone. It's just a preference that, if done correctly, can lead to an amount of love and commitment that some people could never reach in a monogamous relationship.

any relationship about overcoming things, is not so great

relationships should be about enjoying yourself

and finding someone who you can really enjoy yourself with.

hey, im recently dealing with polyamory in my relationship and there are hurdles to be overcome on a personal leve. However, on a general level polyamory is absolutely not wrong in my opinion, its just unconventional and so people are ready to dismiss it is bad and wrong and give it really negative connotations.

[Dinker27]

I don't see it being wrong or right, rather, just a part of nature.

I suppose one could extend this to lions; X amount of males and X amount of females.

I would say it's religious, but isn't excluded to; many people in history and mythology have had many lovers--some just weren't as faithful to their lovers as others.

.....My father once told me when I was younger....

"You were born with two strikes against you....you're a man and you're black" so I guess I can add polyamorous to the list! Even still I'm proud to be all that I am and I will never bite my tongue or hide in shame! You can sign me up to the Revolution :-)

I was raised in a christian home but was too much of a free thinker to conform myself to a single way of life! Sadly however I've found myself isolated due to the lack of readily available information, resources and people living the life! Monogamy is all around us and what upsets me MOST that prejudice mindset! I like to call it Poly-ism lol, I'm laughing but its not funny! I've had people ignore and refuse to speak to me because I am Poly....even call me names!

[Kraven8484]

Since I can't make a video response and text comment will have to do.....

Polyamory for me has been a nameless part of me for as long as I can remember because up until a month ago I didn't even know the word exsisted! I started out as a swinger but was so uplifted by that lifestyle I look into it in more depth! I came across a book by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy title "The Ethical Slut" (the revised version) where I was interoduced to "Polyamory"
