Why is sex and polyamory so often equated with being promiscuous? I was texting with a potential date on Tinder today. He was flirting with me and I was enjoying the casual banter. Then he asked me to meet up for some sexy times. (He told me in one of the first sentences that he…
How Non-monogamy shapes my belief system. As I approach 50 years on this earth, I realize how much my relationship philosophies have changed. In theory, the memoir I am writing (in theory- if I ever worked on it more) is about how I became the woman I am today from my traditional evangelical roots. It’s…

Even the most experienced polyamorous people can have some wobbles and stress when they realize their partner is connecting with someone new.

I Am in a Relationship With the World, and Berlin is my Primary Partner I am polyamorous. That means I am open to having more than one committed romantic relationship at a time. For me, this also encompasses random sexual encounters, play partners, and a higher priority than societal norms placed on my platonic friendships….
I’ve been thinking a lot about love lately. Being in Berlin with Stefan, having recently been in a break-up with Dex. Having more chances than usual to talk about what does polyamory and non-monogamy in general mean to me. It all comes down to love. But as I have learned on this journey- love means…
