Polyamory & Open Relationships

0 readers

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]

For me there's a bit of a network effect where the polycule sprawls out into the distance. Partners have partners who have partners.

But for disconnected folks, it's mostly been tinder (yuck), and a local meetup.

(Also this might be the first post? That or nothing federated yet)

If it be apps you be using.

OkCupid has a decent Poly community.

FEELD seems tailored towards non-monogamy.

Maybe check around FetLife for some “munches” (vanilla social meet ups) and see if you gel with anyone.

I recommend Feeld. Also Fetlife.

I don't know what happened on okcupid, but it is very quick to recommend me people in like Connecticut and Massachusetts. I live in NYC.

You can change your distance limit setting

I know. It's set to 5 miles. I just checked. Five recommendations in and it recommended me someone in NJ. Double checked the map and that's about 20 miles from here.

The distance limit seems more like a suggestion.
