Polyamory Position Statement - Galen Askton
http://galenaskton.livejournal.com/810.html
Mar 1st, 2008 at 3:17 PM. This is my view of the essential ethics of polyamory. I hope it can help others know what we are and are not about. I also hope this helps other polyamorous people know how polyamory does and should fit into the rest of the world. Polyamory is the belief that having multiple loving, romantic partners at one time is morally acceptable and healthy, as long as all parties are aware of and explicitly accept it. A polyamorous person may wish to change the minds of monogamous people a...

October 21st, 2009. Oct 21st, 2009 at 4:42 AM. One of the things my new relationship with Wendy brings to my life is a certain peace that's hard to explain. Part of it is that she's a refreshingly low-drama lady. I was searching for that in secondary partners, but didn't take for granted that I'd be fortunate enough to find it. The poly community seems to be rife with people who thrive on creating and consuming drama. I don't know, but I'm content to enjoy and inculcate for as long as I can.

October 17th, 2009. Oct 17th, 2009 at 3:43 PM. It has been a long time since I posted and much has happened since we became poly. I want to post some updates in hopes some others might benefit from my experiences. Here's the thumbnail sketch of my poly experience to date:. Began by experimenting with poly in Second Life. Joined a local poly support / social group. Joined another local couple in a quad that lasted a short while. Made some friends on OkCupid, but no partners. Powered by LiveJournal.com.

October 24th, 2009. Oct 24th, 2009 at 12:14 PM. It's interesting how going from having just two partners to having three or more can create complicated networks of romantic relationships. My own network already has quite a few people in it. In our case, it turns out to be a line, which has a certain aesthetic elegance to it:. M - G - W - Galen - Karma - C - M - C.

Metamour Connection Levels - Galen Askton
http://galenaskton.livejournal.com/1052.html
Mar 21st, 2008 at 7:24 AM. In polyamory, we refer to our partner's other partners as metamours. We know that polyamorous relationships can get quite complicated to manage and characterize. One question that seems often asked is: do you let your partners talk to each other? The polyamorous credo of open honesty would suggest that the answer is obvious, but the truth doesn't always shape up that way. To be sure, the connections between any two metamours is complex and certainly not digital like this. S...

I was searching for that in secondary partners, but didn't take for granted that I'd be fortunate enough to find it. The poly community seems to be rife with people who thrive on creating and consuming drama. I intend to keep Wendy as a friend and partner for life. Will this sense of peace last forever?

Polyamory Position Statement - Galen Askton

Feb 28th, 2008 at 5:49 AM. I know there are plenty of great resources out there on polyamory, like Wikipedia ( http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory. But I wanted to give a brief summary of what polyamory is to me. My own current situation is that my wife, Karma. Is my only partner. We decided about a year and a half ago to be polyamorous. We're still exploring it and don't know what the future is. Powered by LiveJournal.com. Designed by Teresa Jones.
