Just curious really: has anyone ever been in a more-than-two-person relationship? I'm not a great believer in monogamy, and I believe you can definitely love more than one person, but I've never met anyone who feels the same (or is willing to admit it, anyway). I don't believe in cheating, but most people just balk at the idea of a non-exclusive relationship. It's more that I want to know whether these things can actually work out in the long term (i.e. after it's stopped being kinky), and how you broach the subject to someone. Apologies if that makes no sense, it's quite late here.
i've only known of this from the hipforums actually... polyamory... i don't think i could do it myself... love two ppl who love each other and myself.. i think it would get too complicated, i'd be wondering if the love was equal but different, or totally unequal. personally, i think i could only handle platonic love in this fashion.. friendships and family, but not romantic...
I've kind of got in a mindset where I think I'd be okay with it, but I'm not going to know unless it actually happens. I don't know if it's specifically love (it's not like I haven't dated people who weren't "the one" before), but definitely something more than sex. Maybe it's just me, but I always find someone who I've liked for ages suddenly shows an interest the second I start dating someone.
I have a very good friend in a multiple partner relationship. The woman has children by both men and it is all working out OK and they have been a huge family for years now. I am sure it isn't for everyone but they seem to be doing fine with it. The children are all like sisters (sorry guys no boys yet) and have none of the my sister and my half sister issues and the older ones are old enough to understand (eldest is 14). I have never seen any more loving fathers and yes they both treat all the girls like their own. The girls have been known to say things like "When my Dads get here" it sounds so cute but fucks some people up that don't understand their family. Who every said twos company threes a crowd never meet these guys!!!!
If you mean Mormons, I'm ... not sure about that. The guy gets two or more wives, but the wives only get the one husband. Sounds a bit much to me.
Personally I'm gay, have never had a bi thought in my life etc. so it'd have to be at least two guys. If one of them had a girlfriend that'd be cool though. I'm not really thinking in terms of swinging; I've never had an open relationship, but I think there's a big difference between having two partners and having one partner and loads of other random fucks. As to like-minded people, I'm out of ideas, to be honest. You'd think it'd be easier considering how gay guys are supposed to be so much more adventurous sexually, but in my experience they're just as prudish as anyone else until they hit their 40s and start to just take what they can get.
I'm thinking I'm actually kind of into it.... I'm in that same mindset though, I think it'd be okay but I can't know until it happens... It would definately have to be mutal all around (does that make sense?) I'm worried I'd get jealous... As for the sex, I think it'd have to rely on having all of us involved in the sack at once, instead of one night here, one night there.. I think that's how it'd get competitive and all that nastiness.... It's definately a fantasy of mine, at any rate...
