Polyamory boards?

[lindyswing]

Does anyone know of any message boards like this one that focus on polyamory? We love the great advice, ideas and entertainment that we get about swinging from this board, but we're also interested in polyamory. Every time I look at a swingers board thread on emotional attachments, the discussion of course is always anti-poly...like "Don't go there" and "That's a bad situation, and here's advice for not getting emotionally attached." We'd love to find a similar message board to get ideas for how to deal with poly issues beyond avoiding them.

The only one I know of is on the Usenet side at alt.polyamory.

When I first started looking at the internet for discussion groups for swinging, I stumbled across this one. They seem to be a good group of people and knew that I belonged over here - so they showed me the door*

*They actually were very nice, but they realized that I was not the poly type of guy. And early on, I didn't know the difference.

I haven't had much luck finding anything with regards to Polyamory that is very helpful. We are a triad and it would be great to have a place to turn to especially with regards to swinging of people in similar relationships. I'll be watching this post closely...........

Good luck.

Hey, hey, hey!!!!

There are members who engaged in polyamory relationships around. In fact we're one of these members, altouhg we were not looking for it (it just happend, so we were open to that).

But the fact is, this is a swinger board. Most couples looks for a way to include recreational sex in their lifes without madifying their previous commitments. Under this assumption, the "don't go there" advice sounds wise.

Even when we had a polyamoral relationship, I'd like to know the setting a marriage (not a single) may have to seek for a polyamoral relationship from the scratch ("we'll have sex but only if we love eachother"). I mean, it's hard even for singles looking for a couple on these days. People use to meet prospects and get an easy relationship that may involve sex, to find out later on that other is Mr/Ms Right, so I believe that given the complexities you add when adding people, that it'd be really hard to look for a "Couple Right" (or a Mr/Ms Right) to fall in love with someone (or with a couple) from the scratch.
