This is the fourth in a series of interviews of everyday people who are living a poly lifestyle (either polyamorous or polysexual), from their individual perspectives. They were each given a series of questions, and asked to pick several questions that they would like to answer from their personal experience. This fourth interview is of…
DetailsCheers Sexy People! I fucked up last nite. Well sort of. My brain fucked up. But it’s my brain, so… I like to go with the assumption that I can control my own thoughts in my head, and therefore my own feelings. Sometimes this doesn’t go as planned. Last nite, while on an awesome date…
DetailsCheers Sexy People! As a follow up to my recent blog posts about “Coming Out”, I wanted to share with you this brilliant blog entry that I found recently that uses a metaphor to help describe what it can feel like to try to explain polyamory. To those of us who practice polyamory and identify…
DetailsCheers Sexy People! I am writing this blog post as a follow up to an earlier one, to continue my story on “coming out” to our family and friends about being polyamorous. The last post, I spoke about what lead up to the decision to “come out” including the reasons that we finally decided to…
DetailsCheers Sexy People! I am currently on vacation at the beach, sitting on the very porch where I came out to two close friends a year ago. We are here with seven adults and two small children, all of whom know about my polyamorous lifestyle and fully accept it (well, the kiddos don’t of course…
DetailsCheers Sexy People! A fellow blogger recently posted about the decision to “come out” as polyamorous to friends and family. There were many questions, and a lively discussion broke out around the topic. I knew at some point I would write about this, so why not now? The decision to come out or not is…
DetailsCheers Sexy People! Let’s face it: It’s impossible to talk about polyamory / ethical non-monogamy without the topic of jealousy coming up. It’s one of the first questions I got asked by my friends when I first “came out” to them. “But don’t you get jealous?” Why yes, yes I do. Some days it might…
DetailsThis week is a particularly difficult week for me. I lost my father to cancer over six years ago. Not only was Sunday Father’s Day, but his birthday is this week too. “They” say time heals all wounds. I say that’s bull shit. Time may heal SOME wounds, including physical ones of course, but the…

Cheers Sexy People! So… Monogamous or Non-monogamous? That is the question. I eventually answered that question (once I realized I had a safe ethical choice) as quite firmly: non-monogamous, as did my husband and we came to that decision together at the same time (OK, maybe I nudged first after reading Ethical Slut and feeling…
DetailsCheers Sexy People! This past Saturday nite, I went to the Out Of The Darkness Walk (sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) in support of several of my friends who were walking in memory of those that they had lost through suicide. I was deeply moved by the experience. There were over 2,000…
