Welcome to Gaia! ::

Not great at introductions but hello~ you can call me Alice. Or if you don't like that name any variant of my username will work just fine. I am a 20-something MtF and like to think of myself as open-minded to most things.

I want to say I stumbled across the guild a month or so ago though not by accident so I wouldn't exactly call it a stumble, I guess? Anyway I was prompted to look into polyamory by a love interest outside of my current monogamous relationship.

I'm not a very social person at heart but I try~

( I'm shy to say the least. I put this post off for I can't remember how long, though I was aware I should really post for most of the procrastination period gonk )

Well welcome all the same smile

Hello! My name is Kaede. I'm a dude, 18, bisexual, a Freshman Psychology Major, and in a kind-of-sort-of-if-you-wanna-have-sex-with-that-person-ask-me-first kind of relationship. My partner gets jealous easily so I haven't really had many other relationships on the side (about 4, I think). However, we usually discuss possible relationships in length before I go for them, which helps ease our tension. But since my last relationship went downhill, about a year ago, I've been a one-person kind of guy. Anyway, I have no idea where I'm going with this because I'm horrible with introductions. Feel free to message or add me.

Hi peoples.

I'm Stormy, Lexi, or any variation of my current or any future usernames.

I'm 19, bisexual, and currently located in Tempe, Arizona.

I have been poly for a while, but took a very very long time for me to accept it. I am in the middle of a pretty icky divorce that is due, in part, to being poly.

My ex was the "do as I say, not as I do" type, in many respects. Long story short, he wanted a poly relationship where he could do what/whomever he wanted, but I couldn't. Following many bouts of cheating, abuse and lots of other icky things, he finally agreed to have a completely poly relationship... except then it was I could only have women (otherwise known as a OPP). Upon the arrival of my best friend (now boyfriend/fiance) in December and following more cheating coming to light, my ex agreed to a polyfidelous relationship, where I was involved with my boyfriend, and he was involved with his girlfriend. Long story short, his jealousy got the better of him, and I came to my senses about a horrible relationship, so we parted. We're working on legally separating.

So yeah, my fiance (24/m/bi/poly) and I are in an open/poly relationship, although we haven't found anyone/s else up to this point that has actually worked out, so I suppose we are poly in theory haha. smile Feel free to PM or add me.

Outside of poly, I'm a complete geek/nerd, and so is my fiance. We play video games, table tops games like GURPs and he is currently teaching me Magic: The Gathering. Our card collection went from 100 cards to over 900 in a matter of a week, cuz he decided to teach me. XD I am an over-achiever.

Hello everyone! biggrin

This thread is a good read, thanks all heart It seems like a lot of people are still teased by jealousy from one side or the other. Me and my boyfriend never had that experience, luckily. We're together for almost a decade now and I have always encouraged him to cheat. I figured it would give him a testosteron boost and make him a better lover for me.
We don't have a policy. If he wants to share it with me I'm superexcited, because it turns me on.. but he doesn't have to. The other way around: He doesn't get turned on by my adventures, he just doesn't care. Which is also fine ofcourse wink as long as he doesn't expect me to shut up about it, because I tend to vend my feelings. mrgreen
