Polyamory is Specific, But You as a Person Can Be Many Things
Polyamory is often misunderstood or conflated with other forms of non-monogamy, but it’s important to clarify that polyamory is its own distinct relationship structure. Being polyamorous doesn’t necessarily mean you want open relationships or that you follow a one-size-fits-all model for non-monogamy. Each relationship and relational structure is built on specific agreements and desires of the…

One of the most valuable tings we learn from open sexual lifestyles is that our programming about love, intimacy, and sex can be rewritten. - Janet W. Hardy & Dossie Easton

Non-monogamous, young adult participants needed for research study!
Are you a young adult who practices non-monogamy? I want to hear about why you are non-monogamous for my research study!
I am seeking non-monogamous young adults who are willing to be interviewed about their motivations for non-monogamy. The interview will only be around 30 minutes of your time, and it will help to fill the gap in research on non-monogamous young adults! I will also be creating a fictionalized work based upon the findings from all the participants, but any identifiable details will be kept confidential. You will also have the opportunity to provide edits on any sections your thoughts inspire.
If you are interviewed, you are free to withdraw up until March 15, 2023. If that happens, nothing you’ve shared will be used in the study or fictional piece.
If you are 18-29 years old, living in Canada, and are engaging in consensual non-monogamy, you are invited to participate!
If you want to join the study or have any questions, reach out right away! Send me a direct message or email me at [email protected] - The last day to be interviewed is March 13, 2023!
Thanks for reading, and I hope to hear from you! This study has been reviewed by the Hamilton Integrated Research Ethics Board under Project #15580

When I learned about open relationships (pretty young because of some celebrity drama) I couldn't understand why people didn't like them... when I was told about them I was like:
"wait... Why is it bad? My partner gets to enjoy sex, I don't have to have it, and at the end of the day I still have a partner that gives me kisses and I love!" And genuinely thought like that for like always...
.
.
.
It took me until I was 20 to start questioning if I was asexual (and I'm still not sure???)

Celebrate Metamour Day on Feb 28!
Metamour Day was created to honor the relationships between you and your partners’ partners, however that might look. It is not about forced compersion. It’s about communal appreciation within our family structures and modeling positivity to the world around us. Metamour Day is a recognition of the unique and special relationships between metamours.
Order your Metamour Day cards from Bloom Community: profits from postcard sales will be donated to OPEN (Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-monogamy), a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering the polyamory and non-monogamy movement by advancing cultural acceptance, building political power, and supporting non-monogamous communities and leaders.
You can also celebrate Metamour Day on February 28th by sharing our graphics by Anna D. Hirsch in English, Spanish, French, Norwegian, Maltese, German, Italian and Hebrew.

"I am what I choose to become."
Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre was a French philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic, considered a leading figure in 20th-century French philosophy and Marxism. Sartre was one of the key figures in the philosophy of existentialism.
Born: 21 June 1905, Paris, France
Died: 15 April 1980 (age 74 years), Paris, France
Existentialist Philosopher: Sartre is often regarded as the father of existentialist philosophy. He emphasized the individual's freedom and responsibility in creating their own essence and values. His most famous dictum, "Existence precedes essence," encapsulates the core idea that human existence is not predetermined and that individuals define themselves through their actions.
Prolific Writer: Sartre was a highly prolific writer and produced a vast body of work. Some of his notable philosophical works include "Being and Nothingness," "Existentialism is a Humanism," and "Critique of Dialectical Reason." In addition to philosophy, he wrote plays, novels, and essays, contributing significantly to literature and the arts.
Literary Achievements: Sartre was not only a philosopher but also a celebrated literary figure. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964, but he declined the award, stating that he always declined official honors. His literary works include plays like "No Exit" and "The Flies," as well as novels such as "Nausea" and "The Roads to Freedom" trilogy.
Political Engagement: Sartre was actively engaged in politics throughout his life. He aligned himself with leftist and Marxist ideologies and was involved in political activism. He criticized colonialism, supported anti-imperialist movements, and was a prominent figure in the French intellectual and political scene during the mid-20th century.
Life and Relationships: Sartre had a complex personal life. He had a lifelong romantic and intellectual partnership with Simone de Beauvoir, another influential existentialist philosopher and writer. Despite their deep connection, they maintained a non-traditional, open relationship. Sartre's experiences during World War II, including his time as a prisoner of war, also influenced his philosophical and political views.

Providing all parties are on board, it's not even close to being greedy. It's delighting in open, honest relationships. Something that is shrinkingly rare in many 'monogamous' unions, where monogamy is the illusion rather than the reality.
Better to be open and honest.

The Daily Californian: “Protection for nontraditional family structures could come to Berkeley, Oakland”
🚨📰 NCSF Media Update
“The proposed bill specifically focuses on adding protections in areas such as housing, business establishments and city services, according to Janani Ramachandran, an Oakland City Council member who is sponsoring the bill.
“She noted that without these protections at the city or state level, landlords and businesses would be able to discriminate on the basis of someone’s relationship status or family structure.”
// NCSF Media Updates are a sampling of recent stories printed in US newspapers, magazines, and selected websites containing significant mention of BDSM-leather-fetish, polyamory, or Lifestyle issues and topics.
These stories may be positive, negative, accurate, inaccurate or anywhere in between. NCSF urges everyone to make comments that dispute stereotypes about alternative sexuality. //

3.21
okay so i'm panicking. maybe it's because a lot of things are all happening at once, and i'm supposed to be the one who's calm on the outside. i told everyone i had this under control. i have to be daddy, for what feels like, all the time these days. and it's not that i don't want to be. it's not even that i don't like it. but there are levels. there are the times when it's fun, and there are times when it is fucking frightening. everyone says, do this or do that, and i am the one who has to make sure it doesn't fall apart. i make it happen. in the end. all the time.
or maybe it's because i just can't shake it. the feeling i was able to talk myself out of a year ago, but am, for some reason feeling again now. i think about her all the time. and something that felt so hidden, is suddenly crashing in with the rest of my world, and i can't keep it to myself anymore. and all i ever wanted was to have her to myself. i knew i couldn't, though, and i tried so hard to be okay with that. and even as a friend, i told her i needed more from her. and i did. but beign around her now, i still feel it. i felt it when she rested her head on my shoulder, and almost instinctively, when i responded wordlessly by placing my hand on her knee. like we always knew we'd end up back here.
and i find myself feeling possessive, even now. obsessive, even. i looked for her in every person in that crowd, as i often have in places i thought i might see her. (i just spent 30 minutes and am still spending time trying to locate the hotel we spent our first night together in because i've hyperfixated on it for the last 2 weeks and cannot think of anything else.) update: i didn't find it. the way i've felt the same withdrawals i did with zeke, the way my body can't seem to handle missing her now that i know it's so close. the way i feel it in my gut every time she doesn't text me back. maybe i always knew that was why i was so hurt when she chose so many other people over me. even though i knew she'd have me if i said so, every time.
but then part of me tells myself that what i want is just to get off on feeling like i have this sick twisted place in her life that no one can replace. i looked for her everywhere in that club. in every face, every tall blonde femme in the crowd. and it felt just like--like such edward cullen shit. like a fucking vampire in the club, glaring out suspiciously, waiting for my lost lover to arrive so i can protect her. and of course, by the time i did find her, she was already pretty drunk, which i hate to admit, but is one of my favorite tropes. i love keeping a pretty drunk girl safe. maybe it's because i somehow think i'm the only person equipped for the job, but i love guiding her through the crowd by her pinky, holding her hand, holding her hair. god, the things you are able to romanticize after growing to hate with a year of distance.
dead people get off easy, their actions forever memorialized in only the good stuff. this is what i have to remember, though, about CX. i have to remember all the parts, why i chose TB, why i didn't even tell him there was a choice. why i pretend like i never loved her, not like that. why i told jo that i wasn't serenading her when i sang you and i--i was. because of course i was. because the only reason i wanted to be open was so i could taste her again. because the feelings inside me were getting to be a bit--much. because the only reason i even thought about being poly for a second was so i could be with her. because i realized i couldn't share her. because i realized i needed someone who could take care of me, too. because i realized i needed more in a partner. and i decided this before even giving her a chance, but that doesn't mean i think i made the wrong decision.
i think i made the right decision. i thought i did. but then my body went into full-on fight or flight mode after our first queer couples counseling consultation where we found out the cost was 5k. and i fucking went along with that, like no problem. i saw TB's eyes light up, and they said there was a waitlist, and there were only two open spots (smart) and i said yes, and the first payment went through for $1666. so the invoice came in, and i saw the angel numbers: 666.
so it's a sign to refocus. but on what? am i supposed to be doing this therapy? or is this telling me that i need to not focus on this so much, and that i'm about to waste a bunch of money on shit solutions for a relationship that i might be done trying for.
so there it is. the fear. the fear that after all this time, after accepting so much, that i still love her more than i love him. that i waited for him to evolve, and he has, but not into her. that i told myself that would happen at all. but what if i'm the type to jump ship when i feel a better option? i am proud of myself for sticking it out in this relationship, but i can feel myself become more distant from TB by the day.
i know objectively i can't break up with him. i shouldn't. but i want to. i know i'll regret it, but right now, i want to.
i can't even think about her without my stomach dropping. and of course, i feel guilty because he is already being so trusting with me, encouraging me to pursue this friendhsip again. and obviously it's not even an option right now, but i can't stop thinking about her, and it doesn't feel the way i know friendship feels.
it's not the way i feel around ayesha. it's not the way i ever felt with AS or AB. i just feel--like helpless lately when i think of her. but maybe i just crave newness. maybe i just can't be satisfied with something for long enough. and here i am, and what the fuck am i going to do if he leaves? if i make him leave? he doesn't want to leave. i know. i can tell. but i just keep drifting away. i know he can feel it. i can see it in his face.
i think i fucked up. i don't know how but i feel like i massively fucked up. what have i done where am i what did i do is it normal to feel this panicky when investing in your relationship with your partner?
fuck, i feel the way i felt like with JB, but i also feel like JB? like i became JB? yeah, no, that's what this feels like. more so. like i just fucking need to see her. and i have never needed that from TB, mostly because he's always been here.
and how did i make a song that used to make me sad make me think of her and make me sad all over again? how am i pining again
how am i pining again
i thought i was over this shit
i need to tell someone
there is no one to tell
because everyone got to love her but me
one more night holding your hand, not
knowing what might find me at home.
one more night underneath my sheets--i
feel more than i see, and this has
always been my favorite way to
get to know you.
one more night pretending that we could have it all
because why am i still so in love
with the way your smile
pours into me
