I have always had a poly outlook on life, but until recently didn't have a term for the way I felt. I do not think that love is a finite commodity; if I did I wouldn't had have 7 children. I love both of my parents equally but different same with my children so why not lovers?
I am a bit of the hippy type; recreational sex can be fun as well as long as all parties are on the same page and have the same expections, the same is true of emotional relationships.
To me the most important thing to making poly work is being totally honest; first with yourself and also with the other parties involved. I always let perspective partners know that I totally love my husband and he will know about any one I date.
