How many out there in a poly-relationship have the V thing or a variation where two or more are involved with one, but not each other?

 

In those situations, is it a rule that you cannot get involved with the other person, or is there just no attraction or neither is Bi? I guess this really pertains to the FMF Triad. I guess it's just difficult to think if I lived with two primaries (wives) that I would not want to go to bed with both at night, and I'm not just talking sex.

I guess your first question doesn't apply here as both my guys are not into guys lol...

 

As for sleeping... It was hard for me personally because the other couple to us wanted to maintain sleeping together at night. We occasionally have "swap naps" lol when things just happen to work out that way. But it's probably best as we all have different schedules that do affect bedtimes.

I'm in a quad and very involved with both halves. Mr. Fuse and the other husband are both straight. I suppose your question doesn't really apply to me, but I'll answer anyway :). I've been in threesomes (just talking sex here) where I wasn't involved with the other woman. It is SO much better when everyone is attracted to everyone else, that I would barely consider going back and having a threesome where I wasn't attracted to the other woman.

We're in a Vee, and my guys are straight too. I take turns sleeping with one or the other, but when we stay at a hotel with a king sized bed, we all sleep together.

 

When we get our new 5th wheel, we're getting the bedroom redesigned to fit a king sized bed, so we'll sleep together when we're on vacation too.

Poly A person with multiple serious relationship partners at the same time.They can be straight, gay or bisexual.

 

Vee A polyamorous relationship where one person,'the hinge', maintains a relationship with two others who are not involved with each other. The language of multiple love

 

Triangle A relationship between three people where each is involved with the others.

 

Compersion The feeling of getting pleasure from a partner's other relationships. Polys argue that this is the opposite of jealousy.

 

Primary Where a poly has one central relationship, perhaps with a spouse, while maintaining links to other people who are 'secondary' relationships.

 

Now we have to update our dictionary.

We've never had the V-thing because I'm not bi, and therefore I have no interest in playing with her boyfriends.

 

Now I've never had a serious relationship with another woman outside my marriage (like Mrs. WS has with men), but I've had several "girlfriends" which have been sex only, and with three of them Mrs. WS has never joined us because, although bi, she was not interested in two of them sexually, and one she has a history with dating back to high school and to her that is just tough to blend sex into it now.

I think there's a misunderstanding, WS. My guys would appreciate clarity on this point, I think. A Vee is where there are two SEPARATE relationships. In my case, I have a private relationship with EACH of my guys - they aren't involved with each other.

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I suppose I need to clarify as well. I was not trying to point out any specific type of poly arrangement, only those where each person may have two or more relationships and the drivers for keeping them separate. It's certainly not any kind of condemnation. Really, I'm the type that would rather throw everyone in together or make everyone use the same road instead of having one road going north, one going south, etc.

A Usenet group, alt.polyamory, has an online FAQ that would define your statement as a triad or a triangle, not a V.

 

"Triads - three people involved in some way. Often used in a fairly committed sense, in some cases involving ceremonies of commitment, but also used simply to mean "three people who are connected".

 

Triangle (or equilateral triangle) - relationship where three people are each involved with both of the others. Sometimes also called a triad.

 

Vee - Three people, where the structure puts one person at the bottom, or "hinge" of the vee, also called the pivot point. In a vee, the arm partners are not as commonly close to each other as each is to the pivot."

 

I liked Avid's description for a Vee far better.

 

I suppose I need to clarify as well. I was not trying to point out any specific type of poly arrangement...

 

Your question had extra side benefits of leading to other questions, it appears. Or there aren't many FMF triads on the Board to offer an opinion to your original thought?

Okay, I can see what you mean by "V" now. Thanks for the definitions rpu3. For us, we have to know who the third is and we both maintain a relationship with them outside the bedroom. For instance, take Mrs. WS's current boyfriend. She's been seeing him for two months now. We all go to dinner together, we've caught a concert together, but until a week ago we'd never had a threesome, Mrs. WS always has seen him alone in a sexual manner.

 

So a "V" in the sexual sense, but not in the social or relationship sense.

 

This is simply because we like to know who each other is playing with, who they are, what their intentions may be, etc. If either of us gets a creepy feeling about the third than it is a no-go for launch. I have to approve of and be comfortable with Mrs. WS's friends and visa-versa. I know men and she knows women. Therefore we pick-up on stuff that each other might not.

 

I can see though, how some could carry on this type of relationship where both of the partners knew of each other, but did not know each other personally. Sometimes it might make the situation easier. We've been contacted by numerous single men that simply don't want to meet me for some reason or another (another thread subject, eh?), and Mrs. WS would probably have an easier time of finding another partner outside of swinging if we did things that way.

      While browsing online ads, I frequently see where they state the hubby is V-Safe. For those of you who have this is your ad, does this mean that you like to play without condoms? It seems to me that the only reason you would state this is to let another couple know that the risk of pregnancy is zero and if you were to use condoms, the issue of V-Safe would be a mute point. Is this correct? Or do you state this for the "just in case the condom slips off" issue?
       
      The reason I ask is that we do prefer doing things Au Natural and would like any insight or ideas into finding other like minded couples. If V-Safe is the hidden code for "No Condoms", we would sure like to know!
       
      From the other threads on this board we see quite a few people like cream pies, seconds, in other words, Au Natural. It's just too bad that none of them seem to live here in Las Vegas.

      Hi this is Petra, member of a three-woman, two-guy closed poly family. I am a long-time member of the Swingersboard, so if you want more background, you can look at previous posts. We are all now in our thirties and have found that while it used to be that the two guys could adequately take care of us three women, that is shifting. The guys have slacked off a little, while the women's desire for sex has increased. While it helps that we girls are bisexual and can help each other, we also seem to need (or at least want) more frequent sex with the guys. Penis-in-vagina intercourse is what we girls want, and the three of us women cum relatively easily, so a quick screw is satisfying.
       
      Anyone else facing a similar situation? The way we have primarily addressed this is by making one of our guys service two girls, her cumming while he holds back, then taking care of the second. Any thoughts?

      I’ve been lurking a while and read a ton here the boards. Now I’ve gotten myself into a situation that is not talked about very much on here. I’ve fallen in love with a playmate. I really didn’t mean for it to happen, and from what she tells me she didn’t mean for it to happen either. Let me start by saying I’ve been completely open and 100% honest with my wife, and my playmate Becca tells me that she has been mostly open with her husband. We’ll get to that in a bit.
       
      Becca and I met at a club, just a few months ago. From the first I thought she was attractive, I mean let’s face it, we’re here to fuck attractive people, right? My wife, Angie, and I went to the club that night to have some fun. We’re experienced swingers-we don’t play alot, swinging does not rule our lives- but we’ve had our share of fun. The night I met Becca was no different; we hoped to meet some fun people, have some good to great sex, and maybe make some friends we could hang out with on a regular basis.
       
      Becca and I both realized pretty quickly that there is a strong physical attraction between the two of us. The sex is effortless and I’ve never fit together with anyone better. After that first night of being together, my wife Angie and Becca’s husband Rob exchanged numbers. Becca asked for my number but I declined, telling her she could just text Angie if she wanted. I don’t normally like to have communication with the women I play with outside of swinging situations. I was not able to get Becca out of my head for the next several days- which is unusual for me. I threw caution to the wind sent her my number via SLS. She texted me a few hours later. Over the next several days we exchanged texts and even spoke on the phone a few times. All with Angie’s knowledge.
       
      We all four got together again a few weeks later-and it was even better than the first time. It was that night that I recognized that I had developed emotional feelings for Becca, and I was pretty sure that she had developed similar feelings for me.
       
      A few days after we were all together the second time I told my wife about my feelings for Becca. I told her I didn’t know if I was getting our sexual chemistry mixed up with emotion but I thought that could be the case. To my surprise Angie did not freak out. She told me she suspected something was up-given the amount of communication between Becca and I. I took a few weeks to sort out my feelings and spent many more hours talking to both Angie and Becca. I realized that I was probably in love with Becca. And I told them both so. Becca told me she feels the same way. This is not the “oh, I’ve just fucked someone new, I hope they like me best” kind of feeling. We’ve both been with other people since we met and it has not cooled our emotions. This is raw, real and deep.
       
      When I told Angie all of this she gave me license to pursue a relationship with Becca and follow it wherever it may lead. I did not ask for this, Angie offered it to me. Angie is secure about our commitment to each other-I am not leaving my wife and Becca and Angie both know that. Becca also has no intention of leaving her husband.
       
      Becca has talked with her husband Rob about us and the feelings we’ve developed for each other. What she has not told him is that she thinks loves me, she does not know how he would react to that (here is the mostly open part that I alluded to in the first paragraph). She has told him our feelings are deep but has not gone into how much we care for each other. Rob is completely comfortable with texts and calls throughout the day, but not with Becca and I meeting without him and Angie there-even for lunch or dinner. I completely understand and respect this. I don’t like it, but I respect it. I suspect if the shoe were on the other foot I would feel the same way. I really genuinely like Rob by the way, he treats both Becca and Angie really well-and he and Angie have really great sex together. Angie has told Rob that it’s just sex between the two of them and Rob feels the same way. They have no other feelings for each other past that.
       
      Becca and I text every day and talk several times a week; I know about her life and children, and she knows about mine. We have similar interests and lives outside of swinging, we are in similar businesses. We have become emotional rocks for each other. I get emotional needs met from her that I do not get from Angie. Again, I have been upfront with Angie about all this and she is fine with it.
       
      So here are my big questions: Do these things really ever work, or are we on the express train to Dramaville?
       
      Is it possible to keep something like this going long term?
       
      How do we navigate the fact that Rob is not comfortable with Becca and I meeting without him around (again, we will not be going against his wishes on this one) and knowing that he and Angie will want to have more variety in their swinging soon, which will leave less opportunity for Becca and I to be together?
       
      Any thoughts from the wise sages on here are welcome. I’m a big boy-if I’ve being naïve about anything please tell me. I can take it.

      We have been playing with a couple for about five years on and off. We see them at our club, at some resorts and at local house parties. Wherever we are, she always seeks out my husband. We have all been together many times and I enjoy her husband very much, but for my husband and I, it’s literally just sex.
       
      She is very different with my husband lately than with her other partners. I believe she has fallen for him. When I see them together, she is very passionate and attentive to him in ways that I don’t see when she’s with other men. My husband rolls with it and is always a pleaser.
       
      We don’t want to make things uncomfortable or lose their friendship, but we are getting uncomfortable with the notion that she may be interested in a deeper relationship than we have experienced with other partners.
       
      Should we just go with it? I’m not sure I can handle sharing him that way and I don’t think he’s interested in that type of relationship either. Thoughts about when the sex leads to something more?

      So we took in a very good friend about six weeks ago following a very ugly split with her ex. We have know both of them for about ten years and started playing together about three years ago. I actually have known her much longer and before we started hanging out as couples.
       
      Anyway, things have evolved to a point where we are sharing our bed 4-5 nights per week. We are playing together and separately. For example, in the morning it’s not unusual for me to come out of the shower and find her and my husband snuggling, touching and even fucking. I actually love seeing them together and have no feelings of jealousy. She and I are doing the same and actually took the day off Wednesday and simply spent the day in bed alone while he was at work. It’s not all about sex, but it’s clear that she really loves him and I think he feels the same about her. I know that I care deeply for her and may actually be in love as well.
       
      We prepare meals together, hang out in the evenings together, play together and still swing separately, but it is definitely decreasing. Everything feels very natural and relaxed and we are all content - have we found ourselves slipping into a true polyamorous relationship? I never really thought about it and we were talking about it last night.
       
      Thoughts? Warnings? This is uncharted territory.
