I'd have to agree with jenna. I'm not a poly person. Don't know if I ever could be. But I understand and respect people who are. Just because it's not my thing, doesn't mean it's wrong. If I had gotten involved with someone who was poly, I don't know if I could do it. Perhaps I'd give it an honest shot, and see how it went. As long as everyone involved is open and understanding and -always- communicating about their feelings about the relationships...then what is the problem? If something needs to be resolved, then all involved need to know about it and work on it and if part of the relationship fall apart, that's life. It's very true, some aren't so lucky to find someone who can be both Dom/Master and boyfriend. Some might choose to go the way of having open relationships, which might even lead into finding someone who -can- be both. Why sit around waiting for something that might never come along and deny yourself a Dom AND and bf? I for one, am one of the lucky ones. I've got a switch boyfriend who is my best friend, boyfriend, lover, sub and dominant. And I feel utterly blessed that I have found him. The one I was with previous to this, I thought could be a fantastic Dominant. But I couldn't push him to be something that he himself didn't want to be. Or didn't realize that he was. Perhaps someday he will figure it out on his own, perhaps it's just his personality that makes me see his natural dominance and exertion of control in his life and in those around him. Perhaps that is as far as it goes. I thought that if I tried to make things work with him, maybe I could try to get that part of me to fit into that life I had with him. But things didn't work out. And it had nothing to do with my interest in BDSM. Did I search for someone else to fill that role? No. I didn't even know what poly was when I was still with him. He and I broke up, I went on with my life. And I stumbled across the freshest breath of air I possibly could have, in my mind. I introduced rather early on my interest in BDSM and things worked out wonderfully. It was kinda random and rather risky on my part, and luck just happened to be with me.

Honey, you obviously missed the "want to be used as a toilet fetish" thread or "where do I get instructions on setting my sub on fire" thread. LOL Thank you, DelRay for that one.
