What flavor of poly are you?

A really picky slut.

*grin*

I'm a queer slut and my wife is a very nice Lady who fucks around. We do not have any secondaries as such but we have many friends that we love and a few that we fuck.

Tutti-frutti!

My wife does not believe in poly but she allows me to have a girlfriend. I call that a V relationship and it worked for the last five years at least. I haven't given up and hope to have the V again soon.

Slutty middle-aged single mom who will try anything once--or twice--except marriage, once was enough of that!

My wife and I are open to polyamory if the right opportunity presents itself, which it hasn't so far, but that's what we get for living in the bible belt.

Oh, and I'm new here :-) *waves*

I would say that my husband and I both have secondaries, and my secondary is married and also has introduced a female whom I guess he wants us to have a triad with...

Im confused with that, and am waiting for him to come home from a week away on bussiness to discuss that with him...a little off subject and I will post my own topic for that :)

My wife has a b/f and I see a few different people. I think the closest way to describe it would be: she has 2 co-primaries and I have a few secondaries.

Yeah, that works...

I have a husband I've been married to for eleven years, five of them open. We had a girlfriend that we were both with for about six months. Then for two years I had a couple of lovers. Now I have a girlfriend who I've been with for over a year and a half now to the exclusion of all other lovers (other than my husband, of course!). She's not involved with my husband and has her own place. My husband hasn't been with anyone else since that first girlfriend. But everyone is as happy as a lark these days!

We are still trying to figure out where we are in the great big world of poly. Neither one of has had an on going secondary thus far. He is really big on "even" dates and friends. So, I haven't gone on any dates to see if I like anyone else, cause he hasn't either.

well, i live with my primary (almost 2 yrs! wow) and we have both had secondaries throughout the relationship at dif. times, me more so, since i'm the extroverted one on many levels. Most of them haven't lasted more then a few months...I am friendly with all but one now.

Ideally I would like to have a few serious relationships and have us all live together, I don't require that I have sex w/the women he is into, but I do require that if we happen to live together we have an open-intimate relationship (snuggles mandatory kinda thing). So I guess Ideally either another woman would live w/us or another couple...since I really don't see myself having kids w/out help around the house!

We are free to see other people/date as we wish, it's all about communication...my life and mind and thoughts change daily, so it's really important for me to be surrounded by people who accept who I am, that's really how I do poly! and friendships! :)

I am bi, married, with two kids. I have two boyfriends, neither of whom I live with. Though somewhere down the line co-habitation and pro-creation with one of them is an option we're considering- that would mean joining two husbands, two wives, 4 kids (who are currently 4, 5, 6, and 7 years old) so, it a ways off.

Poly, bi, kinky, Canadian, Buddhist, separated mom of two enlightened humans, ethical, adventurous, sacred whore with three current LDRs and, um, an aspiring writer... :P

I'm in a primary relationship with one beloved. Two secondary relationships. Plus a deep friendship with a former lover. My primary beloved also has a secondary relationship.

My boyfriend hs been poly for while and has many Close Friends. I am new to the poly lifestyle and am just kind of going with the flow, but the opportunity hasn't presented it self really. (however the fact that my boyfriend has others seems as natural as breathing, and i'm not nearly as stressed out in the relationship as i ever was in "manogomous" ones.)

My husband of many years has a lover who's also married; I'm not currently seeing anyone special and am open to whatever or whomever happens to come along.

"What flavor of poly are you?"

Edward-flavored.

It seems compatible with several other flavors, thankfully.

Currently MF with a lovely girlfriend who has her own primary. Ideally, I'd love to have a MFMF quad in X formation with all points touching, but that will take a lot of time and effort to put together and keep together.

The single flavor

aka "theoretically and philosophically poly"

Gotta have one love before one can have many loves

My lover and I will be celebrating 6 years together next month, he and his wife celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary on Leap Year Day this year but had two years on top of the dozen married. Both she and I occasionally date and are open to other partners. We both lean toward the all primaries model but I have enjoyed short term explorations with secondaries, several of whom have evolved into intimate friendships without continuing benefits. My youngest turns 18 next month so there are no longer minor children on my side. My lover is still raising young sons with his dear wife, only 14 and 8.

We're primaries with a handful of lovers that one or both of us are intimate with on an occasional basis. For the first few years we did not 'play alone' with others, but now we do and we're happy about that!

Ever-evolving and always open to new experiences/relationships flavor

I'm a bi woman getting ready to start a family with a bi male primary who is openminded but not currently dating anyone else. I have another mostly local long term partner who's a very slutty bi man and a long term girlfriend who's long distance, bi and married to a straight male primary

My wife and I are married and live together. We've tried the quad thing a couple of times, and that didn't really work out for us. Lately we've been doing the primary/secondary (dating separately) thing ... she has a couple of online LDR things (met in WoW) and I've dated a couple of people locally, but am not currently seeing anyone.

Generally?

I'll try anything twice. 'Cuz, you know, once can always just be a bad conspiracy of factors.

Currently?

Reconnecting with myself and my boy. Recovering from disastrous threesome and feeling like staying close to home is really good right now. Really solid as primaries, not really looking for anything else but open to when it comes up (and it will again eventually, I'm sure). Right now I'm just basking in the glow of a healthy and honest relationship and not giving it a lot of titles or "goals". Seems like bein' happy is the best goal, anyway.

To more seriously answer your question (though I really think the above sums it up rather nicely) I'm mutable. Relationships come and go but I never sleep with people I don't at least have love for even if I'm not head-over-heals in love with everybody I bed. I typically stick to one or two central relationships with some friends that I occasionally have erotic encounters with and the option to add new people so long as everybody conforms to the "No New Microbes" law. I consider every person on their own merit and while I do have different KINDS of partners I refuse to set up a hierarchy. Some have more of my time and are more involved in my daily life than others. None of them are "less" important than the others.

I'm in a live in MFM-V. She's handfasted to both of us (separate ceremonies). Her and her other primary are trying to have a kid (he's first, as he's older, I'm next). I have just started seeing another secondary, and am always open to playing with other friends and lovers (cause I'm an ethical, horny, bisexual, Tantric, Bacchanalian, Hedonistic, flirt and slut that people know respects them). She is not seeing anyone else seriously right now, as she just broke up with a long term girlfriend and her husband, but often plays with my girlfriends or the occasional girl/guy from the club. The other primary is kind of seeing another woman (which I have issues with cause she's still married and not in an open relationship).

>: )

I am the figuring it out as it comes up flavor... So far I have figured out I like girls, I like boys and I like sex. I also really like intense intimate relationships.

I currently consider myself polyandrous. I am in a committed, hetero life partnership, and wouldn't mind another "husband" ;-) I could see myself someday in a live-in MFM vee or triad with a kidlet or two... my vision of domestic bliss, hehe..

Let's see....
We're a mutually loving triad (FMF). I joined the MF couple about two years ago. We discovered each other through a swingers board (yeah, I know, but it was what it was), and not many months later I moved in. We're monogamous in our relationship and have no plans of searching, swinging, inviting others in. We also have no plans of splitting up. In fact, we spend time discussing when, where, and how we'll retire together. We're all three 50 or older and just figured out who we are and what we need. Better late than never!

We simply say that we're a family -- no more, no less. (Oh yeah, my partners are celebrating 33 years of marriage today!)

We have three grown sons among us, and we're pretty certain they "get it," even though none of them have asked, and we've not offered to explain. My ex-husband is apparently telling our mutual friends that I switched teams -- whatever that means. One of those friends met me for coffee and flat out asked me if we were a couple. I said no, we're a triad. His response -- "I don't care what you do, but you sure do seem happier now than I've ever seen you." And he knew me almost all the years of my marriage.

Well. Definetly not vanilla!

My primary partner, who I live with, is a man. Let me follow this one up by saying I'm a lesbian. Draw what conclusions you want from that...

My sweetie of three years just celebrated the one-year mark with her boyfriend. She occasionally has casual fun with others. Right now, I guess I'm looking for some not-so-casual fun with others.

My poly dream would be to be part of a triad, though not with either of the people I'm already involved with, interestingly. There's something about multiples that makes me feel safe and happy....Here's hoping.
