Here's my idea that I have just had spring to my mind. I believe it absolves a lot of issues if (from the standpoint of being poly-amorous) you do decide that you want to find multiple partners and be in such a relationship.
The polar opposite is considered monogamy, and I'm sure I don't have to explain all of this so far in so many words. It's all been discussed elsewhere.
However, my idea involves the two, and an inter-twining of both schools of thought.
topic begins from the Following:
This actually applies either way once you really think about it but i'm getting ahead of myself. A person who is poly-amorous may be presented with difficulties in finding multiple partners, but still wishes to identify as such despite the difficulties presented.
So then, how do you become comfortable with the two extremes when you are on either side of the fence?
It seems to me that poly-amorous love and monogamous love are no different in fact. One is just an extension of the other.
To get to the point I guess, there need be no upset if you can't find more lovers than just the one. You have already identified as someone who could love more than one should the opportunity arise.
This idea more of has the potential to ease the mind in the case of those who are searching for more than one love at a time. The fact of self-identifying as poly-amorous allows you to know what you are searching after. Once that identification has taken place, that is one step out of the way.
Okay, I'm not sure this will actually be of any use really. But eh.. I brainstormed (though it could of been a brainfart) XD
