Do you know how long three minutes can last?Pretty much forever.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
it's an irritatingly common misconception.
Well, I get that, but Toddson's comment has some validity also. There *is* sex involved in polyamory, yes? The relationships aren't purely about sex, but there is sex there.

I seem to remember sex. It's just that so very many people think poly and swinging is the same thing. The root of poly (for me) is the freedom to be in love with more than one person at a time. Sex is just one part of love.

Sure, but sex is what makes it polyamory.
Sex isn't the defining factor of the relationships themselves, but sex is what makes the other relationships not monogamy.

no. It's not. Love is what makes it polyamory. Lots of people have sex without love. I have known celibate poly folk.

I don't see it that way. When I think of polyamory I think of three or more adults in a functioning relationship-whether or not they are currently having sex.
When I think of swingers, I think of at least one functioning relationship that includes sex with each other and other people/couples.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

My Grandparents would be very freaked out to know that they were polyamorous through their fifty-some years of marriage.

Why, were they dating someone else at the time too?

I'm pretty sure Laga meant romantic love.
Also, pretty sure Toddson was speaking tongue-in-cheek.
