ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus ~FR regarding the poly issue~ I also find that many do not really understand how poly relationships work. There's this notion that it's a bunch of people randomly having sex with no strings and no commitments, when the actuality is almost the opposite of that. For me, anyway, polyamory is about building family, a family that is chosen, instead of the genetic crapshoot we were stuck with. It doesn't mean that there are no boundaries, and it doesn't mean that there isn't deep commitment---or even sexual monogamy! I've heard my submissive female friends talking about how the idea was awful to them, until they started putting names and personalities in the boxes... "Oh, I could be a sister sub with X!" It's an option. Not an easy option, and not an option for everyone. No it's not easy. I am not sure I could do it. I suppose it would depend on the situation. I feel bad for the ones who say it is impossible. When I first learned about this life 8 years ago, I met a wonderful Goddess and her amazing slave. They lived in a poly relationship and he served her with love. They are still together and still going strong, so yes it is possible. Any relationship is going to take work on both sides, but it's not impossible.
