#nonmonogamy

"Sex at Dawn" by Christopher Ryan is about how humans are naturally promiscuous and non-monogamous. It has a pretty obvious message; humans are animals and we like to f**k. We naturally want

I really hate the word "friends with benefits." It cheapens the friend relationship. I had a couple women I was seeing refer to our relationship as friends. Yes we have sex. Sometimes we go out

I had a first date yesterday with someone I'd been talking with awhile on Tinder. I normally don't like to wait three weeks to meet somebody but she was out of town for Thanksgiving. When we finally set

...if they are my friends? I often draw the line there, and sometimes further. Part of me does not really want to know these other people at all. But can I really say I'm with who she chooses to sleep

I mean it would be nice, to have someone to rely on. But when I look at married couples they don't look happy. And I'm pretty happy right now being single and dating multiple people.

People dread first dates because they feel like interviews. Most people would probably agree they want good conversation. The problem lies in that the questions people ask (how long was your last relationship?

Although I've had sex partners that could be regarded as FWBs, I've always found this term weird and inappropriate to suggest to someone, especially to put it in a dating profile. Today I just had someone

I met a woman who is super open and into discussing everyone else we are seeing. I love being able to have such conversation. I met another who is really into me but while I've acknowledged I'm dating

She came over and made me dinner. We had an amazing time together. She's also dating a friend of mine. Too bad she's moving away soon. But it's not far, and she wants me to visit sometime.

My girlfriend of 6 months was no longer into non-monogamous dating. It was hard finding a date while having a girlfriend. But when I finally found a date, she dumped me. She had said she was OK with an

I guess they got along just fine. I told my girlfriend immediately who she was after she introduced herself. Nothing happened with her. We just slept together.

It's been a few weeks since I've had a new date. It's the same for her. I feel so close to her. We have been so honest. Is it weird to feel like this could be ruined if we aren't dating anyone else?

I'm only seeing one person right now. It's feeling more serious, but still open. I need to be more forward about this to any potential dates. I have changed my dating profiles to say I'm non-monogamous

She was pretty introverted and awkward at my first impression. We met at a park and went looking for birds at an animal sanctuary after having a couple drinks on the beach. She was comfortable enough walking

...how do we talk about this? First we should figure out what these feelings are before making assumptions. I thought she meant only feelings of wanting something long term, but it's also some feelings

I guess I'm back to dating two women. Might need to think about this a bit first. I want to be totally open about everything if we are to date again.

At the least I should make sure anyone who lives nearby is super into non-monogamy and preferably dating other people already. It makes it difficult to be on a date and worry about running into someone

It feels so great. She will date other guys and I'm fine with that. I am only dating her at this moment but I like just being free to meet an additional woman. In the meantime I am not completely overwhelmed

I knew this wouldn't last. I tried to be upfront with her that I didn't want anything serious and wanted to continue seeing other people. But this means that you will hear about me being with other women.

It could have gone worse, but she is mad at me. Wants to talk later. I never said we were exclusive. I told her several times that I wanted to continue seeing other people. But she didn't seem curious
