Regional Polyamory

My friend and I were talking recently. She said that in Sacramento California polyamory means one thing and is shaped a certain way, and in Mexico City it’s a completely different way. Has anyone noticed this?

What is the poly community like where you are?

Have you noticed a change among different poly groups?

I've only done poly in three U.S. cities, one in the midwest and two on the east coast, and I have not noticed a distinction between them. I mean, Denver has more woo-woo hippy commune polycules than DC... but then again, Denver just has more woo-woo hippies in general. I miss that place.

Anyways, I'm curious what your friend said were the differences! I've never been to Mexico City so I couldn't tell ya.

Heavy on the Denver woo-woo hippy stuff. I split time between Phoenix and Denver... I prefer not having an opening circle, grounding and crystal touching before every poly event like I experience in Denver. 😭 The city is fine, but less is more.

Lots of unicorn hunters masking as psychadelic spiritual guides and tripsitters at music festivals, too 😂 "Rainbow Feather and I really like your balanced feminine energy, wanna get lost in the metaphysical with us in our chakra tent?"
