Re: What brings people to poly? Most people may not understand the lifestyle, and most may even condemn it. Thats just part of the lifestyle, at this time I don't even try to explain it to anyone anymore. Most people are lucky if they find one person to love them I am blessed to have two beautiful women in my life, both of which love me very much.
we fell into a poly relationship quite by accident. The wife and I both started out swinging as did the other couple we are involved with now. Over the course of a few months we found that we had more and more in common than we had originally thought and everything just grew from there. We have been together a little over a year now and would be telling a lie if I said it had all been peaches and creame. Sure we have had our problems but eventually, like any other relationship we work through them with each other.
In an earlier post Mike2150 stated that "The 'Poly' lifestyle comes in so many flavours and it has much in common with the 'Swinger' lifesyle." I have to disagree with this and most people in a "Poly" lifestyle will also. To most "swingers" the word LOVE is a taboo. Sex without love is just, well sex and to most people that is ok, it is a physical thing and that is ok also. Poly is I guess, more of an "emotional connection" to your other partner. And like I said before, I feel really blessed that I have that. |
