Most the stuff I have read here posted by Polys is total crp. They are no more Polys than I am the next PM! Glad to see that the troll concerned was outed. Yes BTW most female polys are indeed bisexual so the poster who wrote that at least knew what they* were talking about!

I live in a four way poly relationship. No farm, no barns, no Dower house (WTF!!) just an ordinary Victorian house in the UK midlands.

MadameCastafiore · 18/04/2010 17:07

Go dos many un PC things roaring their way around my mind about how I find it totally distasteful to be shagging more then one
person at once!

mmrsceptic · 18/04/2010 17:10

that person has previous I think

it was a bit dull anyway

BitOfFun · 18/04/2010 17:10

I am re-reading it now...such gems!

"I like to think that two of our four children were conceived the same evening, three feet apart, when we suggested making babies to our menfolk when a cuddle was all that was on their agenda. (Think snowstorm, no electricity so pitch black, on straw filled mattress on floor of the farm cottage we only use when lambing)"

moviegirl · 18/04/2010 17:12

i think I must have led a very very sheltered life

you really do get your eyes open on mn

sungirltan · 18/04/2010 17:13

polyagmy - marriage

polyamory - just relationships

there was a doc about it with that dawn porter bird.

BOF - dunno whether to laugh or cringe!

moviegirl · 18/04/2010 17:15

saw a documentary about it - might have been Louis Theroux -- NONE of the wives were truly happy about it - lots of pretending and living a lie I thought.

not for me I am afraid - unless the men were all over 80, stinking rich and had heart complaints - am marrying for money next time

TruePoly · 18/04/2010 17:19

You need educating.

We live as a 4 rather than 2 + 2. So I have a co-wife and 2 co-husbands. The children are raised by all 4 of us equally.

We, well more accuately I, don't need approval or anything else really. I just thought you might like to know the reality rather than the w**k fodder posted by some other pretend Polys.

personally i couldnt care less - what goes on behind closed doors etc....

would definately not be "educating" my DC to that sort of lifestyle - but that is purely a personal choice - nothing malicious meant by it.

ChocolatePants · 18/04/2010 17:27

BUt you havn't said anything about the true reality- y'know, the day to day stuff, how you sleep, eat, discuss things together....you have simple written a couple of sentences that say- well- not much really- and I think most posters are aware of the threads you appear to refer to- have you not read anyones posts at all?

ffs

sungirltan · 18/04/2010 17:28

treuply - thats as presumptive as saying all trad marriages can be explained in the same way!

ChocolatePants · 18/04/2010 17:30

Am off to bath children etc but will be interested to see how this thread goes.

GypsyMoth · 18/04/2010 17:32

mmrsceptic · 18/04/2010 17:34

Are they not all Universities now?

MadameCastafiore · 18/04/2010 17:45

Gos can just imagine if my parents had told me they conceived me whilst being 3 feet away from my other mum and dad who were conceiving my sort of sibling - bleugh!!

op, not sure where yu have gone, but i would like to know what your post has been started for? I have no idea what other views, posts you refer to with this thread.

JaneS · 18/04/2010 18:12

OP, I know a husband and wife who are polyamorous. I thought, until I read your post, that they were pretty smug and inclined to pretend they were victimized by everyone - including those who'd never heard of them. Is there a society of polyamorous people around, who all swap notes on how to feel victimized when no-one has taken the time to victimize you?

PeppermintPasty · 18/04/2010 18:16

Polamory is crap. Miss Hoolie does my head in.

JaneS · 18/04/2010 18:19

I feel mean now. Yes, I'm sure polyamory (relationships with more than one 'other') and polygamy/polyandry (marriages with multiple wives, and multiple husbands, respectively), work great in lots of cases. But* I think for some people, it is a great excuse to pretend to be alternative and exciting.

sungirltan · 18/04/2010 18:21

the women were all miserable on the dawn porter doc as well

ha ha on lrd - brill
