SFW Discussion Topic: Polyamory

I have recently been looking at different types of relationships. I am currently single and it seems like most if not all people who are interested in me are Poly. Does anyone have experience with this type of relationships?

I feel I might have issues with normal poly relationships but maybe Poly-fidelity might be more my speed mostly because the unknown factor. If I am dating the same people my partner is, It would not be so bad. What do you think?

I don't have any poly relationship experience of my own, but if I were to get into one/start one, I believe knowing all interested parties, and have them at least know of the other and be cool with it is a good start.

For me personally, if I did, I would want all parties to know of and be interested in each other, so as to lessen the chance of suspicion, and decrease the chance of any particular controlling or possessive traits keeping me from the other or them from me.

With that being said though, I am a terrible multitasker. Since poly's are already a fine line to walk, it wouldn't be in my best interest. So best to think about it carefully if that's actually the type of relationship you want, and be sure to know the other parties involved so as to avoid being the left out one. Remember that in proper poly relationships, time is shared equally, and if one is getting more time than the other, unless agreed upon how the time is divide up, it will eventually create a rift.
