To consider polyamory?

[sweetbutpycho]

Has anyone switched from monogamy? We already have in the sense of threesomes and so forth (I'm bisexual) so are we effectively already that way inclined? We have been together 10 years and have done all sorts of weird and beautiful things together plus come through some real shitty times stronger than ever. I would say I become emotionally attached very easily and since coming of hormonal contraception, my sex drive is finally back (albeit stronger than ever!) and I am now more on par with my husbands.... not that sex is what's important here.

Anyway, any thoughts from those who have made this jump? Or know of people who have? All I know is that I am definitely capable of loving more than one - DH has already pointed this out and vocalised what I've been thinking all along.

My faith makes things difficult however, from extensive research I am coming around to the idea. Please make no mistake, we are a professional couple who have worked for all we have and are definitely not 'away with the fairies', this is a general consideration to some degree.

@Bleary3000 Many animals mate for life, it isn't unique to humans.

OP, you came back, I'm so glad.

You must do what's right for you and your dh, as much as I can say here is that I'm the adventurous type and thoroughly respect how close you and your dh are to consider it. I bet you communicate better than most couples.
We couldn't have had a Poly relationship when our children were at home, perhaps some people can, but we didn't want to risk hurting our children.
I don't think having children stops you from having threesomes, or swinging, or anything else that doesn't affect your family.

Consenting adults can do whatever they want as far as i'm concerned buTif you've dispensed with control to have a baby, try to make sure its your husband's. And have the blood test done early so he's ok.

@RomanyQueen1 thank you lovely 

@TheGirlWithAllTheFeathers I only have one child and do not plan on having anymore (and I have the coil)

In fact relatively few animals truly mate for life, and they have particular physical characteristics which humans dont share. I would say far from it 'not being unique to humans' my attitude would be that its pretty damn hard to get humans to fit into that box at all!

Just beware. Especially with kids. I think you’d need a much, much bigger reason than wanting to experiment to bring the difficulties and emotional confusion into kids lives. I’d wait until they’ve left home.
