Many people find the holidays a stressful time, with holiday shopping and cooking and making plans to travel. For people who live alternative lifestyles it can be even more stressful. Perhaps there is a part of your lifestyle that your parents do not know about and would not approve of. Maybe they know and are openly judgmental. As the holidays approach and people go home to...

A couple of minutes ago, I finished reading one of the few articles on Relationship Anarchy on the internet. From having only read the title, I could already tell that the author of the article did not quite have a grasp on what Relationship Anarchy really means. Which is not quite surprising…

I am convinced that parents want to eat their kids.
Especially the kid they identify as being of the same gender.
We are their food. Or maybe we are a wounded limb. A part of them they want to fix and make better. Make us so we look right with the rest of their body.
We are theirs and we are…

Is it wrong of me that in the poly community here on tumblr, I get really offended by some of the guys whose entire idea of polyamory seems to be hot threesomes with women who look like porn stars? Their blogs are all white women, perfectly waxed, perfectly thin, giving guys head or making out on…

I’m really happy to have learned that women don’t belong to anyone but themselves, otherwise I’d be missing out on a really amazing connection right now due to unchecked jealousy and possessiveness. Thanks feminist internet!

Why I Won't Bow To Monogamy OPINION: 'YOU AND ME'... →
Committing to one person for a lifetime without forming any outside romantic bonds is hard work. It’s not impossible, but it’s certainly a tough aspiration, placing an abundance of pressure on the two human beings involved. Perhaps, it wouldn’t hurt if we were open to another way. There’s more to love than monogamy.
Nice to see this in Ebony. I wish queerness and non-coupled poly relationships...

themangledmasterpiece:
First of all, someone on here not too long ago said something mighty ignorant. That ultimately, you never hear about people in polyamorous relationships living happily ever after. Bullshit. I have family members, and have met people, who are in their 50s and up, and have had very long, fulfilling,…
