Being poly is hard sometimes

Other poly people don't just fall out of the sky. Finding and maintaining these relationships can be hard.

Finding and maintaining even a normal 'twosome' relationship is hard. I've given up trying. 8-)

I've chatted to women who say they have poly connections but I can't see how it works. It's like they have a day with one person, a day with another person, but there aren't any threesomes or moresomes.

I'm reading The Wheel of Consent book by Betty Martin to try and understand my own sexuality more (currently I feel everything I know about mine is a furphy).

@zonavar68 Not all people in a poly need to be sexually active partners. Some are just romantic partners, some are are there for the familial love and closeness.
Poly's are all uniquely different.

@zonavar68 @zonavar68 we work because we all share a home. It gets far less complicated after that

@zonavar68 yup anything you don't know anything about or have personal experience with is a furphy. like vaccines for example 🙄

@SnipingSvelte I know quite a bit about the fake vaccines for Covid that don't work

@zonavar68 riiiiiight did your own research huh? brought your skills up to geneticist level with a few youtube videos. wish i had that skill 🙄

@SnipingSvelte I'm content with my choices re my own personal Covid response. It's not anyone else's to judge.

SnipingSvelte · 26-30, F

@zonavar68 of course you are, why wouldn't you be with "going your own way" and to hell with joining the team for herd immunity. that IS my place to judge, and i do so very heavily when watching the people you infected dying horribly. but i know i can't win against ignorance, so i won't bother any further

@SnipingSvelte Ah I see you are trying to blame me personally for causing other people to get sick (and potentially die) as a result of my personal freedom of choice decisions. Nice approach when you have nothing else to use for an attack on my character. ;-)

@zonavar68 i was done, but you want to keep going. this is where your self taught knowledge from youtube videos lacks. what "else" do i need to use against you in your being responsible for deaths in your community? is there something better or more damning? i'm glad you sleep well enough at night that you can be a proud anti vaxxer
