(but not necessarily as sexual buddies, just as other friends...98% of us in these Lifestyles are never intending to "out" ourselves as anything other than monogamous)
If you can answer yes, then you are also Polyamorous in some form. There is more there than just casual sex.  |
Yes....yes...and yes....We have met and spent time with each others family members on many of occasions(all three families, camping, cookouts etc..) Of corse we do not tell "all the privy stuff" but they all definitely know that we are all the very closest of friends. If an accident happened, our "other family members" would contact either of us to let us know. we're around each other enough someone would think to call.
Is it an emotional relationship? Yep, it is...and we are happy within it. It fits each of our needs. For us that is all that matters.
