Polyamory

Interest in polyamory is on the rise. If you are considering polyamory, educating yourself on the topic and talking to other people are good places to ...

If you and your partner have never discussed polyamory — even in passing — then a good place to begin, in addition to explaining your interest in it, is by giving your partner an article or book on the topic to start the conversation. If you don't know why you want to try polyamory and you can't formulate the words, then you can't expect your partner to be even remotely into it. Don't go the route of infidelity when you can just talk to your partner about opening up the relationship in a polyamorous way. In other words, it's not just about having sex with as many people as you want while getting to maintain a primary relationship on the home front. No matter your reason or what sparked the interest, you want to know why you're feeling this way so when you bring it up with your partner — if you're currently in a relationship — you can be clear and pragmatic about it. Basically, if you're thinking non-monogamy is for you and polyamory sounds like a viable option, then you have even more choices to choose from than you may have realized — there's no one way to poly.
