 monogamy, polyamory?

are you monogamous, polyamorous, or what?
I should probably explain that polyamory basically means you agree with your partners that you can have other partners aside from them and so can they. You can have a primary partner, or not. It's about trusting and respecting your partners, and communicating honestly. Telling your primary partner that you're monogamous and cheating is not polyamory.

If someone is gonna be polyamorous its really important to get tests everytime you have a new partner, and that you communicate about safety with your partners, and trust that they are getting tested too. Some people who are polyamorous only have full intercourse with a primary partner to eliminate a lot of std risk. How you do it is really up to you... again, all about honesty and openness. It can be really healthy, but you have to be willing to work on it and talk.

Yeah that's a good reason, but that's not the only reason why I chose to be monogamous. When I am in a committed relationship, I am a one man girl!!

I chose "other" because I think I could really go either way. All my relationships up to this point have been monogamous, but I could see getting into a polyamorous or open relationship.

I am monogamous. Deffinately a one girl man. I do however think that if you are the right people and trust each other fully. A polyamous relationship has the potential to last longer with less arguments.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein

YEAH for mono (and not the 'kissing disease')!! I guess poly is ok for some people , especially in this day and age- IF you can multi-task between a several different personalities. IMO the work and feelings involved just don't outweigh the rewards of being devoted to one special person. I recently "went out for drinks" with a really hot girl at my workplace (1st problem). Well, imagine my surprise when she sticks her tongue down my throat while muttering "how do you feel about no-strings-attached intimacy?" Needless to say, I was at her place every night for 2 weeks, then one day I see her pinching this dude's ass at work.  Went straight home and took a shower! Well, I learned my lesson, AND I don't work there anymore.
