Polyamory & Open Relationships

0 readers
2 users here now

Polyamory (from Ancient Greek πολύς (polús) 'many', and Latin amor 'love') is the practice of, or desire for, romantic relationships with more than one partner at the same time, with the informed consent of all partners involved.[1][2] Some people who identify as polyamorous believe in consensual non-monogamy with a conscious management of jealousy and reject the view that sexual and relational exclusivity (monogamy) are prerequisite for deep, committed, long-term, loving relationships.[3] Others prefer to restrict their sexual activity to only members of the group, a closed polyamorous relationship that is usually referred to as polyfidelity.[4][5]

I didn't see it this morning when I was searching. I'm pretty sure we should migrate there, before this whole thing gets outa hand. Does anyone see any reason to not join with (https://lemmy.world/c/polyamory)?

Edit: I find a plurality of support for keeping this community, based on the principle of strength through diversity. Let's DO THIS THING!!

Somehow feels fitting to have multiple polyamory communities... As long as they share members.

Two cents: that community appears to be run by someone with a username of Daddy'sLittleSlut and I feel like that might be setting the tone up to be...more sexual.

In fact, I encourage anyone seeing my post to read their...views, specifically about incest, but their comments are hypersexual and border on fetish.

I think it's appropriate to have a different community.

LoL, I get your point. I'll take that as a vote for keeping this community. I'd also like to see more cool memes, and infographics as those are good ways to communicate the complexity of polyamory.

I like variety!

Maybe they'll naturally differentiate into parallel and kitchen-table communities XD

I feel like reiterating this https://kbin.run/m/Polyamory/t/581010/-/comment/4961439 here, nothing wrong with having multiple spaces!

I agree with this. Yeah there's already a polyamorous community, but they don't moderate like you do. Also centralization sucks. I want to see more communities spread out across the Fediverse.

I prefer communities outside of LW, and Mbin is a nice change

So far I'm finding everyone's in favor of continuing. Let's make a good start of it. LoL, I may need some mod help at some point. Mbin got a good start with Ernest. And Mbin.run has a good feel to it, as a more distributed management and development 'instance'.
