We have been contemplating about getting into the polygamy lifestyle .

Been reading a lot lately .,Measured the pros and cons and found it's has more rewarding .. Like shared responsibilities of parenting ,house chores .. School drops the list is endless ..

I agree there's certainly something in it. A communal approach has to have economies of scale both financially and in terms of achieving tasks. Plus the obvious concubine advantages.

The strong emotional connection of polyamory compared to swinging would be a concern for me.

But hope you can make it work if thats what you want to try

I couldn't imagine anything worse than living in a household that has potential to be a sex fest every night .... like to have some peace at home and just chill, wouldn't want sex in my face all the time

I'm sure marriage is not just about sex !! ..it's much more then that .. Wouldn't it be nice going out to restaurants or even cooking a nice meal and eating in .. holding hands dancing together doing things that makes you happy like gardening redecorating the house .. , yes sex is important too ..but I'm sure not 365 a day ..

Yes if that's the lifestyle you want it would be great. I agree no long term relationship is just about sex.

Good luck with it I'm all for people living how they want rather than how they think they ought to.

Polygamy is something I've always thought was a great idea and if I could be lucky enough to be in that position id love it so I say go for it if you're both equally as keen on the idea

Does anyone know of any polygamous set ups where everyone is truly equal and the relationships between everyone are as harmonious as possible? I would be happy to be proved wrong but I feel the idea of a harmonious life style in which everyone fitted in and loved each other without fear and jealousy while sharing equally in chores, school runs etc sounds idealistic but unlikely to me. How would income be distributed for instance, what if one person earns loads and another is on benefits?

Have seen a few programmes about it and there are always petty jealousies and dramas when one or more are ousted by others. True intimacy with more than one couple, very unlikely without drama I think. If you all lived together as friends, I think the comment about ... even better if all bisexual sort of got to me ... what's wrong with friendships to do all of the things you mentioned sharing, why does sex have to be involved?

Knowing human nature I think there will always be dominant personalities in any group situation and it would be necessary for other people to be subject to them and that makes me uncomfortable.

But thats in every kind of relationship People will try to dominate .. If got the right mix I'm sure it will work .. In the Himalayas most brothers are married to one woman.. She even bears kids to them .. We've know 3 brothers marrying one woman .. They all so happy ..

One woman marrying multiple men (usually brothers) is called polyandry, and is used in some parts of the Himalayas to stop farm land being split as it is passed from one generation to the next.

Are you guys looking for extra men, women or couples?

You're right that does apply to all relationships. I think it's fair to say that we aren't in the Himalayas so different circumstances apply and they're not marrying three brothers because they believe it's a great way to run relationships but to avoid land being split up.

As I said before I think everyone should be able to live in the type of relationship most suited to them all other things being equal. I'm just interested in how things would work.

I don't thing the thread was entirely about sex either, also about decorating, sharing household chores and car pool ... not much use in the Himalayas and not why they do it, as been pointed out. I still can't get to the bottom of how different this would be from sharing things like decorating chores and car pool with good friends, apart from the sex ... and the expectations of the emotional ties. Sounds like a weird variation if footballers wives to me ... I like to be on my own or with a partner who totally respects me and I respect them .. no group dynamics and focus on the kids, not who is in bed with who this evening.

Ill take your word for it. Its not about apetite though. Ifs about control. First your a swinger with all the advantages male partners have getting to fuck because of their female partners. Then its going to the next step and living with an extra woman or two. Brilliant so far. Sounds very teenage masturbatory fantasy to me

For us its entirely different and I think you are assuming all the women are just having the wool pulled very their eyes and have no sexual choices or appetite ... my partner wants me to play with other men, I have no inclination unless he is playing with the man first. He is not particularly interested in playing with other women, and if he does, which is very rare, it is never penetrative. I think most men are more grown up than this and if not, the women can see this ... how does the cuckold dynamic fit into your theory? We may be different because we are a bi couple ... but certainly nothing like this would ever take over our real life.

I think the ideal set up is several people of various genders living in emotional and sexual harmony enjoying domestic bliss. I'm not an ideal candidate for this kind of relationship and like you I think it requires a certain hierarchy to exist but I could be wrong. I don't know anyone who lives full time with multiple partners either so my opinion can only be based on how I would feel about it.

Well thats the difference between polyamory and swinging isn't it.

Just because polyandry was mentioned in one specific cotext doesn't mean that it doesn't happen elsewhere, and anyway it is just one of multiple forms of polyamory.

Tristan Taormino looks at various forms of open relationships in her book Opening Up. These include partnered non-monogamy, swinging, polyamory, solo polyamory, and polyfidelity.

I would not want anyone else to live with us. We already have us two and five teenagers ... that's enough drama. Just to clarify, those are our kids and nothing sexual involved with them. Our relationship started out on here, and we are in tune sexually ... but it has developed because of everything else we share, laughs, shopping, tears, drama, fun, debates, discussion, chats ... decorating, chores, no car pool as the kids are too old ... but the point is, the great sex comes along with and as part of that. Both of use were swinging a fair while as singles before and still have our moments but nothing we have apart is in the same realm as what we have together. My fantasy would not be living with two men ... too much cleaning of the toilet seat. My fantasy is being with my long term partner with whom I can indulge my deepest desires as can he .... and yes, that does include bareback sex, with him.

I am in a poly relationship.

Very happy no jealousy. Yes ups and downs but just normal relationship ones.

I consider that i have two wives.

Legally only one but we have all made vows to each other and they are just as real as our marriage vows.

And before anyone asks. They know about my profile on here and it's mainly for keeping in touch with old friends

Poly has nothing to do with swinging. They are separate.

Do they? I think you do have a point. I do see many women trying to conform to what they think men want but I know loads who don't, they own their sexuality and try to meet men who want them to express it and actively enjoy that.

Holborn you obviously don't understand this kind of relationship. Either that or you are just deliberately trolling.

It might not be the kind of relationship that you want, and thats fine, but trying to dismiss other peoples choices is very sex negative. Fab should be a sex positive place where people can explore their sexuality.

You can think what you want. I understand very well the dynamics of sex. Yes this polygamy is sex dressed up to make it sound pallatable to some who hold equally male dominant fantasy role views. You will be told who to fuck and what tovwesr next.

Well said because I see this too. This is Mrs talking here. I have a single fem profile and on it meet women alone, without my man. I don't perform for or indulge any many. My man is bi, so he has fantasies about other men. I don't dress to impress anyone. I don't conform. I noticed this trend when I was told to shush by women when I was voicing an opinion on another thread ... I can be in a couple and still have my own views, but that shush made me feel very sad, and also annoyed that a women could put herself in that position. I am not talking about during the sexual act, but telling someone that here in the forums is an insult. It was a while ago, but I saw a different side then ..., next point coming Jo.

If you read the posts, there is always something about women really enjoying this, even though those who are responding to it are saying, actually we don't, or many of us don't, or some of us dont. How do you know if your fantasy is created and fed by another person or by yourself and your gender and sexuality? Don't for a minute believe all women have this fantasy ... in my opinion it is a male dominant fantasy ... we are still allowed to have an opinion?

Well we seem to have gone way off topic here. The point that I want to put across is the original post is by a woman, describing the relationship style she would like to have in the future. Then a man has come along and essentially said, "you don't want that, that is a man's fantasy, you can't really want that as a woman".

I don't like to see anyone denying other peoples fantasies and saying they are wrong to have them. I don't expect everyone to share the same fantasies, but being Sex Positive is all about respecting people's right to have fantasies and pursue what makes them sexually fulfilled. If you don't respect other peoples right to have fantasies and try to fulfil them, then don't expect anyone to support you when someone tries to take your rights away to live your life as you see fit.

I find it especially negative and misogynistic when it is a man, trying to deny or belittle a woman's fantasy.

I don't believe that there are certain acts that are "male fantasies" and others that are "female fantasies" and that women shouldn't engage in the "male fantasy scenarios" and presumably men shouldn't engage in "female fantasy scenarios"

So I support Neha's (OP) right to pursue a poly relationship, and Holborn's right to have his bareback gang bangs.

Can we all try to be a bit more Sex Positive?

Polyamory. Polygamy is illegal in this country because you cannot be married to more than one person.

Don't get another partner because it's a cheap way to get a nanny and a cleaner, get another partner because you genuinely want to be emotionally involved with more than one person.

And if you're sharing parenting - expect to be shunned by your friends and watched by the school for abuse.

The lifestyle sounds pretty utopian and although some do make it work surely its always going to come down to who the more dominant characters in the relationship are and will the others follow them? Please correct if wrong as bar programmes have seen on TV know little about it other than to realise that like a marriage sex has only a small involvement in what makes it great so to even be discussing it as a sexual fantasy is completely wide of the mark.

Fair comment. The fact remains though that people very into sex, this is a sex site after all, are trying to defend a type of " relationship" that will ultimately follow the dybamics of the people in it. In other words sex will be the overriding consideration. I would be interested in sering pics of these men who persuade these gullible women to worship them. I wonder what they look like ??

When people get into a relationship they don't do so because their thinking this person is the best I've ever had in bed in fact sex used to come much later into it. They decided on the basis they have common interests, make each other happy, are physically, emotionally and mentally attracted to each other. My guess is in a true polygamy/amory relationship this is the same but with another person involved. Just because this is a site where people can meet others for sex can people not have a conversation without having to discuss sex?

Considering there are posts in the lounge especially but others dotted about the forums that don't contain a drop of sex that think you need to change your perception of the people who use the forums and also to stop thinking all men think like you do as does seem to be that you have an unhealthy obession with thinking about sex and viewing women as objects with no free thought of their own. Women in these types of relationship aren't always subjugated to dominant males or men who just think 'Mmm so when is it my night with you again' and we've moved on a lot since the victorian era.

Getting back to the original post:

OP if you have been able to weigh the pros and cons and considered the shared commitments and equal importance of an additional person(s) to your dynamic relationship then by all means do what makes you happy. An additional partner may not even be a swinger themselves.

If there are disputes or disagreements between either of you and your new partner you have the other has to remain neutral and not side with the original partner over the new one. Sex is just a benefit of this kind relationship. Emotional maturity, respect and honesty are definitely important for this to work.

Good luck! Xx

I share a bed as I love that person and can hold and cuddle upto them and be reassured much in the same way kids cuddle teddy bears. A word of advice stop making assumptions as your not doing too well especially seeing you are talking to the male half here. I wonder if you give the same consideration to the women involved in the bareback gangbangs you like to take part in?

I showed this to the ladies and after they had stopped laughing, their comments were not to complimentary.

I am enjoying life. All THREE of us are. Sex is a very small part of what we have. No one is 'brainwashed'.

Our families know and are happy.

If you can't see that it can happen without some 'alterior motive', then nothing I say will change that.

Ideally it wouldn't matter. But that's what I feel were dealing with here, ideals.

On one side we have people saying "poliamory is great" and on the other "no it isn't".

Not many are saying that problems can occur in any type of relationship or acknowledging that abuse of power is possible in any type of relationship let alone how it would be dealt with. No actual discussion of the nitty gritty is taking place so we all move forward with no further knowledge of how a polyamorous relationship might work apart from your kids get picked up from school.

See your last sentence is why my interest in polyamory as although a slightly different dynamic in a cuckold relationship I feel the same. Its the whole 'if you love someone set them free' ethos which although for me wouldn't pursue understand that one day down the line we/she might meet someone where becomes more then just sex. Hope obviously by then that we could be in the right place that all 3 of us could deal with such a relationship.

Well, we've been going for two years now and I honestly don't think we've encountered anything that doesn't happen in a two-people monogamous relationship. We argue over who is doing the dishes, not about who is the 'dominant' one in our group. The relationship is built on trust and, most importantly, communication.

We grow up I'm a society that tells us that monogamous relationships are the norm, that if your partner likes someone else it means they no longer like you, that looking outside of the relationship is just cheating. It can be difficult to change those ways of thinking, but I can honestly say that it is well worth it. Good luck if you go for it.

Yeah, people are always interested in the "admin" of polyamory. The reality is that it's no different to any other relationship. You just need to be better at using a wall planner...

I'm interested, is it bad to want to educate yourself about something you don't know much about?

I have never felt the need for a wall planner in any relationship I have, and that includes having five teenagers at home with us ... why do you have to be better? I also like asking the questions. People often have assumptions about the 'admin' aspects. We got comments and living the 'bisexual lifestyle' because we are both bi ... I still haven't figured out what that is yet ....

I feel like I've been fairly open about answering questions so far, it doesn't really bother me. We were just pointing out that the questions people ask tend to have the same answer: 'like any other relationship I guess'. Maybe people think a poly relationship is like a 24/7 swinging club, but the reality is, you know, taking turns to cook the dinner and watching Game of Thrones!

You just have to be really good at juggling schedules. I'll often only be free one weekend a month, and so will my beau, so we have to plan several months in advance when we'll see each other so that we can get our schedules to collide.

I mean - for example - I generally know what both my partner I live with is doing, what my partner who I don't live with is doing, what his two partners are roughly doing, and what my girlfriend is doing on any given weekend. When you live with people that's far, far easier to keep track of.

I guess the skill is actually 'negotiating with a wall planner', you get to be really good at communicating and negotiating.

I'm *always* happy to answer any questions I can about polyamory, relationship anarchy, and BDSM. I'm very honest and open about my lifestyle because I think that education is the key to being able to make informed lifestyle choices.

Yep! That's why I said I don't include present company.

I agree, differences of opinions is one thing, repeatedly saying that women are wrong for describing their preferences is another.

I can see many advantages of a poly relationship where you live together

Another woman - double blowjobs

Another guy - someone to play on the play station with

In all seriousness I don't think I could work with a poly relationship. I've a lot of respect and admiration for those who do but it's definitely not for me.

If he wants to think it is wrong he is allowed to say so without people attacking for it.

Sometimes it's not what you say, it's how you say it. If "I'm not the one getting fucked by a creep" isn't trolling then I don't know what is.

Back to the OP.

A question....was there much reading up on the subject? It sounds like it is just normal life with an extra person in the mix, so I am not sure what reading up there would be to look for.

It's ok to say that my lifestyle isn't for you.

It's not ok to say my partners are creeps who have brainwashed me into performing for their chauvinistic make fantasies.

I am sure you can ignore it as he doesn't know your partners.

Now as I say...back to the OP please.

No, if someone is going to make uninformed dickish statements about my partners, myself, and my lifestyle then I'm going to challenge that.

Books like Opening Up: a guide to creating and sustaining open relationships by Tristan Taormino is a good place to start.

Yes, lots to think about. Are adding one person or a couple? Will you all be in a sexual relationship with each other or just some of you? Are you going to live together? Will you be financially independent or pool your resources? Will the extra person/s have additional relationships outside of this new one? How much will you explain to friends, family, co-workers? At what point do you explain to the kids? Etc etc.

Im sure people with more experience with me can add a lot more considerations.

Me and my partner identify as polyamorous and have actually been in a committed relationship with another couple for a year and a half before, ok so it's kind of short term but also shows that with a good level of honesty and communication it is possible to maintain a loving relationship with multiple partners, although we didn't live together pretty much all of our spare time was spent together when possible.

I sort of got all that, but didn't realise that would entail reading up on the subject , more like using your own common sense to the pros and cons.

Having said that, that book had good reviews from people who were already in a 3way/4way relationship

I just imagine the queue to the bathroom, having two sheds for the men to go to or will they share the one etc

I am guessing it just becomes the norm like the couple who explained it said ( think it was Swan )just that there is more people in the house.

There has to be pro's and con's just like any relationship.

This really sums up the problem with that guy. Generalising never works. For example, what we are looking for is probably the ultimate male fantasy yet it is what we both want at the moment. If this happens to align with some male chauvinistic fantasy fine, but that isn't what it actually is for us. If someone wants to label our situation and all the other who have posted as it out of some narrow mindedness without even wanting to listen to people that is trolling.

The dynamics of any relationship will depend on who is in it. This will lead to different wants and needs. This will be true for a poly relationship as well but it will just be more complex. Throw sex in to the mix and you can have a very tough time if not everyone is on the same page. However, you'd hope that people who are in a poly relationship see it in a different way than most of the people who are saying it is a bad idea because they can't wrap their heads around it.

To op, the only way you are going to know if it is for you is to try it out. Yes it may well end in tears but so will most relationships anyway.

I'm very liberated and very feminist. All of my partners are very liberated and very feminist too. They certainly weren't Virgins. They're also not creeps.

Don't slag my partners off again. Ever."

Completely agree. We are polyamorous and are rather surprised at some of the blinkered thinking being displayed here. We could throw stones but prefer not to.
