Polyamory means "loving many" or "many loves." It is a relationship paradigm that is different from the concept of monogamy. Polyamory embraces the freedom to love more than one person at a time. However, there are as many different ways to design a poly relationship as there are different kinds of people. Some people have several lovers. Some form dyads in which the couple might date a third person or another couple, or perhaps each member of the couple has outside relationships. Some people form triadic unions, or even larger groups. Some people choose to live together, while others maintain separate homes. Often groups may choose to be polyfidelitous and share sexual relationships with only members of their group. Others may have completely open relationships.The possibilities are endless!

Healthy communication is essential for any relationship to succeed. In poly relationships, with even more people involved, good communication is even more important. Often issues can arise, such as time management challenges, feelings of jealousy, or finding a bed big enough for everyone. This group provides a place for you to discuss your concerns, ask questions, share your experience, and meet other like-minded people. Yes, there is a poly community out there.

Please note that in being poly, it does NOT mean that the person has sex with just about anyone. Often men mistakingly join this group thinking that it's a good place to get some action. Nothing could be farther from the truth. This is a social DISCUSSION group. It is NOT a swingers' group or a dating site. We get together, usually over a meal, to discuss polyamory. It is alright if you think that the poly lifestyle might be right for you, and you want to come to find out more about the concept. It is NOT alright if you are looking for a date. This is a group that provides a SAFE environment for poly-minded people to feel support and a sense of community. Please be advised that inappropriate postings or behavior will get you kicked out of the group.
