You will never know all the things you will experience in your future as a polyamorous person. Read the books, listen to the podcasts, etc - but nothing will fully prepare you for once you actually DO experience something new to you.

Talking to straight monogamous people about how infrequently they get std tested is one of the scariest conversations you can have as a queer polyam person. Like oh wow

Commenter says to me: You look like you have 2 husbands Me: Thank you! ❤️

You shouldn’t feel the need to tell someone who’s being hateful towards polyamory that “polyamory isn’t for everyone and monogamy is valid too.” You don’t have to validate the normative way of relating when they’re being negative.

Polyamorous people: How does polyamory show up in your life in ways that have nothing to do with romantic/sexual partners? Or do you find it doesn’t apply outside of partnership?

The polyamory community centers heterosexual relationships far too often. Yeah, I said it.

Heads up that @ayamisart.bsky.social has been removed from the Polyam Community Starter Pack because their current pinned post declares that they've been a psyop account to sew discord among Leftists. Their replies are full of racist shit, too.

I just finished the first episode of Polyfamily (no spoilers) and I feel good about it so far. I’m obviously going to be biased as someone in community with them and who has seen much of their content (as many of us have). #Polyfamily #polyamory

I’ve been neglecting my Bluesky. Usually I post here whatever I post to threads, but sometimes I forget. I find myself still far more engaged over there. Don’t forget to check me out there too, plus IG and TikTok if you like video content. www.threads.com/@infinitepol...

I don’t want to be anyone’s everything. I want partners to have a life outside of me. Have hobbies, have friends, have other partners, go on a vacation without me, go for a walk, make your own decisions. #polyamory

#Polyamory Tip: Close friendships can take up emotional space that would otherwise go to partners. Consider your close friends when you're considering whether or not you're polysaturated!

For a group of people who loves to scream “I could never be polyamorous, I don’t share!” they sure do love to share their opinions about polyamory

People often forget colonialism didn’t just steal land—it also stole sexual autonomy. Christian missionaries criminalised polyamory, erased matriarchal systems, and forced monogamy to control inheritance and property. The Spanish burned Indigenous erotic art & labelled Andean shamans “diabolical”.

As an African decolonial socialist activist, I feel that there's a lot that folks in the nonwestern world need to decolonise, and sex and sexuality, are crucial parts of it. There's so much white Western colonial influence in nonwestern relationship with sex, relationships, etc. Long 🧵

The best comment I ever got on my social media is when someone told me I’m only polyamorous so I have ideas for content creation It was a few years ago and I WISH I could find it!

Just so you’re aware, if you wear glasses, that’s a mobility aid and you’re disabled. Glasses are just so normalized that most people don’t see it as such. Imagine if most mobility aids were that way. Imagine how much more respect disabled people would get. It’s completely possible.

All Im gonna say on it is being polyamorous is no more my choice being asexual, being trans, or being demi-romantic. Folks can choose not to be in a relationship with any sexuality. Like my partner & I choose to be only with one another. We're both still poly & queer tho. Sexuality isnt a choice.

Yes, you’re the ONLY person left who is interested in monogamy. There are zero others and it’s the fault of all the polyamorous people on dating apps. So many have multiple partners and aren’t leaving any for the rest of you. Yes that’s it. We get it.

The bad thing about polyamory is it means more people who share their awful taste in movies with you The good thing about polyamory is it means more people who share their amazing taste in movies with you I usually encounter the former

I need to know - is it called ethical monogamy or consensual monogamy?

Sounds like an opportunity for a new polyamory term!!!!!!!! I’ll vote for metamom, metadad, metaparent(s). But seriously I never know what to call my bf’s father in law other than his name.

One thing I love is hearing non non monogamous people explain polyamory to another non non monogamous person, but explaining it with the most non non monogamous POV that makes it not incorrect but not fully correct either Good try, you’re getting there!

What’s wild is holding various pieces of polyamorous relationships to monogamous viewpoints of relationships

Sometimes polyamory includes doing things like going to the bank to have an updated medical power of attorney notarized, listing 2 partners who can make decisions. My life as a polyamorous person has changed much over the years because….well I’m a lot older now. My partners are getting older.

I’ve seen a few posts asking polyamorous people to admit we want to sleep with multiple people ….y’all they’re onto us! 😈

I’ve heard there are some people who have more than one friend but I just think they didn’t find the right friend first and now have to go out seeking others. I’m not judging tho…

Polyamorous people as a whole sure do love coming up with terms to describe so much of the various complexities and dynamics in our relationships. A term doesn’t exist yet, don’t worry, we’ll make one up! Does anyone know a term for the following scenario or do we need to make one up?

I’m seriously growing more and more concerned about how many justify consent violations as if it’s ok to violate others’ consent because you’re married 🫠 As someone married decades now, I see why so many polyamorous people refuse to date anyone married.

Help!!! The people are arguing again in a Facebook polyamory group about open phone policies in a marriage 😬

Monogamy seems difficult and far too many rules. You do you, but I could never! #polyamoryinmonogamyfields

A polyamorous person wanting to have a casual, one time hookup with someone doesn’t make them suddenly NOT polyamorous

Polysaturated is a useful term and has its place, but I don’t want to be polysaturated. That feels like I stuffed myself at a buffet and now my stomach hurts. Polysatisfied feels like I had a really nice meal and would definitely go back to that restaurant.

I feel beautiful AF knowing that so many monogamous people find myself and other polyamorous people “ugly.” My ugly self is getting creampied while you’re busy checking your partner’s location all day and monitoring what posts they liked on Instagram.

I’ll never understand why I sometimes hear “that’s polyamory, not non monogamy.” Do y’all realize polyamory is a type of non monogamy? Non monogamy is an umbrella term covering different dynamics, with polyamory being one type. Not all non monogamy is polyamory but all polyamory is non monogamy.

"Why do polyamorous people always look like THAT?" Me: Because they're having better sex than you are, lady! #Polyamory

🌌 monogs love to talk about polycules around them like they are a daytime soap opera and it’s kinda annoying

One of the best things about polyamory is telling multiple people the most mundane details of your day

I don’t call myself a relationship anarchist and here’s why: I actually DO live my life in the way of relationship anarchy, so why don’t I use it then?

Polyamorous people do polyamorous things and that doesn’t always sit well with the non non monogamous Polyam relationships don’t have to fit monogamous standards for relationships

polyamorous folks 🤝 asexuals dont ask me to explain

Most people have never had their mononormative beliefs directly challenged so when they do come across a situation that does in fact challenge it, they can get incredibly defensive. Polyamory in itself challenges this, but did you know you can be monogamous and deconstruct your own mononormativity?

I write about my intense emotions because it’s partially how I process them. 3 yrs ago, I wrote 11 essays every time I felt a big emotion. The result? On Polyamory, my new eBook, which is coming out TOMORROW!! #polyamsky #polyamory #essays #writer

Do you remember the first polyamorous creator you followed and what made you follow them? How have they helped you navigate life? What do you value out of their content? Do you recommend them to others? Just anything you’d like to share. My answer in the comments ⤵️

Demisexuality isn’t as complicated as it seems from the outside. It just defies heteronormativity, as everything under the asexuality umbrella does.

When a polyamorous person experiences a breakup, others will use that breakup as proof that “polyamory never works” “it was doomed to fail” and “I told you so.” Your friends, your family, complete strangers… This is exponentially stronger if a divorce is involved

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

Aw man you know I just force it on everyone I meet. I wave my poly wand and sprinkle everyone with poly dust and say congrats you're poly now And then creep away like a gremlin
