Polyamory

“Polyamory — that's where you're freely confessed that you have more than one lover at a time. And actually I'm less that way than I used to be, but I was trying to make people understand, that at least for some folks, this was a fairly natural state. And instead of skulking around about it that we'd all do better to avoid the deceit and be honest.”

“In my experience and observation, the following factors most positively influence the odds for [poly relationship] success: 6. Reading poly literature and discussing it with partners”

“I do not find people to fit the spaces in my life. I make spaces to fit the people in my life.”

“There is a key trait in people who do polyamory well, and it's this: They are good at regulating their strong emotions. By that I mean, when something emotionally intense is happening to you, either good or bad, you're able to see it as part of a larger whole and keep it in perspective.”

“There is no One Right Way to be Polyamorous. But there are plenty of Wrong Ways!”

“I'm poly, bi and kinky and I still won't sleep with you!”

“I believe that trust is more important than monogamy.”

“The confusion of marriage with morality has done more to destroy the conscience of the human race than any other single error.”

“Marriage is only possible for me if it's an open marriage. A building situation where each helps the other grow. I've been dating younger men because they still have that spontaneity and creativity. But I haven't found anyone yet to have an open marriage with.”

“I don't think it's possible to be in love with two people. I think you can love two people - but being in love is a one-on-one personal feeling.”
