I began this blog unsure about whether or not a week was enough time to adequately cover certain topics. Last week our focus was on domestic violence and at the end of the week I was hesitant about moving on. This week I’m certain that I’m not ready. I still haven’t gotten around to the politics of poly, resources for those involved in the lifestyle, and a lot of other specifics. So … POLY WEEK HAS BEEN EXTENDED!
What is polyamory? Well, it’s simple. Poly = many + amory = loves
I’ve noticed that here are several clichés that come to mind when monogamous people are faced with this issue or phenomenon. There’s the Mormon image – underage girls in long braids and prairie dresses. There’s the “playboy” – the man with a harem of girls just waiting to satisfy his every sexual whim. And then there’s, “Oh that’s just a hippie thing from the 60s and 70s.”
This happens to be a topic that I have some experience with so I’m going to do my best to present an honest picture of what contemporary polyamory is about – the good and the bad.
More specifically, the posts will attempt to answer/address these points:
