Yes, I agree! In my experience, there are VERY FEW (if any at all) swingers who are comfortable or willing to form such a relationship. That is why I always try to use the phrase, "Poly oriented" or "Poly-like". To sort of demonstrate that it may not necessarily bea totally commited relationship as I might have with my primary yet it is a much deeper, lasting friendship/lover I seek.
Your correct about the labels. Maybe we should come up with ideas to describe it better - even though we would creat yet another label. At least people similar to us (Poly/Swing mixes
) could be better defined.
Thanks for your post! Great!
