What Was Your Closest Experience to Poly?

Recommended Posts

What was your closest brush to poly in your personal life? Was it just knowing a poly unit? Was it falling in love or being to develop romantic feelings for another couple/person? Perhaps it was someone falling in love with you, while you were already in a committed relationship or they were in a relationship? Did it make you consider exploring being in a poly relationship? Are you still in touch with the person/couple?

Fun to think about, difficult to act on. I thought I could do it. A poly mmf relationship was within my set of reasoning. Then it started happening. I found that seeing J literally run into another man's arms with "OMG I missed you SO much" was beyond my level of comfortable security. But I think if the comfort level was better, I may be able to do it. With the other man being richer than god, world traveler, too charming, huge dick and hours of stamina, I just saw myself living in my van by the river. We don't see him any longer. He became a dick when we distanced ourselves from him emotionally.

I agree. There is a lot more going on once you branch out. Not only do you have to consider your feelings, but your partner's and the other person(s'), and how any one action may affect everyone directly and indirectly involved!

Let me see if I can explain this to where it makes sense...

 

My BFF from high school was in love with me at some point. I found out a few years after our relationship dissolved. And when I found it, the reason our relationship dissolved made perfect sense. According to her, she was in love with me, more than simply just friendship type love. She wanted us to "be together". The major problem, as far as she was concerned, was that she wasn't sexually attracted to me. She isn't a lesbian, or even bisexual.

 

The major problem as far as I was concerned was that I was dating, in love with, and planning a future with her cousin. Awkward. She worked to sabotage the relationship. And even after we broke up she was rude and jealous whenever I would date someone else or bring them to our apartment.

 

So as far as I'm concerned this wasn't anything like a poly relationship, but it fits into one of your questions.

I was in a poly triad (FFM) with 2 college roommates. No one knew (I'm sure some suspected) that we were all together but I can remember many, many nights of having parties and people telling us we all needed to "all go have sex and get it over with" because we were always making jokes and sexual innuendos. We laughed it off and kept everything very quiet. We drifted apart and I lost touch with the female. The male and I talk on occasion.

I don't use the term "poly", I use "open relationship", but what I have does fit the definition of "polyamory". However, we are not all involved with each other, which is something quite a few people in my experience assume to be a "condition" of polyamorous relationships. Not everyone has even met everyone else yet, and things have been going on for years.

I am not sure that this is poly but we were at a resort, it was topless. There were 3 couples that were together but we watched them for three days and just couldn't figure out which guy was with each girl. Every time they went into the pool to play, or when we saw on kiss or hug the other, it seemed to be a different male female combination. We finally got to know them and they were 3 couples, each of whom had children and indeed, had gotten to know each other at the PTA. They were swingers but it was totally a part of their daily life. They were also interdependent but each live in their own home. They shared school car pooling, cared for one another children after school and at other times. If Joe was traveling for work and his house had a plumbing problem, Dave would go over and take care of the issue and might even take care of Joe's wife that night. That was fine. The three ladies might get together and play without the men, or two ladies and one man, etc. There seemed to be no jealousy between any of them. There were also three very buff guys at the resort and the three ladies were obviously interested in them but the guys just couldn't figure out the relationships. Another couple, also swingers, staying in a villa hosted a party one night inviting us, the 3 "poly" couples, and the three single guys. The three guys never could accept the ladies, all of us, being flirtatious and seductive with them with the husband's present and eventually left. The five couples stayed and we all played.

My wife fell in love with the first man I talked her into having sex with. I didn't realize it until later. I didn't mind. She still loved me and I was happy that she was happy.

 

Her first time with another man since we married was awesome! She loved it! It was an incredibly awesome experience for all of us and it was no trouble talking her into having sex with him again.

 

We let him move in with us and we all slept in the same bed at first. It was pretty wild with us taking turns with her every night for a couple of weeks.

 

He moved into a separate bedroom after the "newness" wore off. She would take turns sleeping with us.

 

He fell in love with her also. I tried to share her with him but he wanted to posses her for himself.

 

He became jealous if he knew she was having sex with me. Having sex with my own wife made him feel like a cuckold.

 

What started out as fun turned into a long, unpleasant, complicated affair. She chose me and our marriage over him and after that was able to have sex with other men without feeling in love with any of them.

Bassackwards Petra here. We got into our current situations from a totally different direction than the usual, both for the poly and the swinging part. Started poly, then added swinging with a couple, now married. For us, poly wasn't couples coming together, or even adding a third to our marriage.

 

 

It started with me and my fiance Red (who had taken my virginity at 17), with whom I had broken up and moved out, but we kept having sex. I started dating (and screwing) David, but kept having sex with Red, which David said was OK. David and I married, and I still couldn't stop fucking Red (and didn't have to). So the first phase of poly was a "V" with me at the vertex. David (now hubby) was monogamous but I was still jealous of other girls, so in my over-disciplined, control freak way, I started to arrange for hubby to have sex with some of my single friends. So now hubby's end of the "V" was open, but under my dastardly control.

 

 

One of the girls with whom I set hubby up, Clair, fell in love with hubby; and hubby with her; and me with her; and her with me. So she moved into our house (Red lives alone, nearby) and we formed a triad among Clair, hubby and me, each involved with the other, and Red branching off from my corner of the triad, sexually involved only with me but completely part of our family.

 

 

Finally, I met a woman, Lora, that was a girlfriend of hubby's before hubby and I met. I would see her regularly at the fitness center and became enthralled, both because she is cute, buff, smart and because I fantasized about her and hubby... Long story short, I started socializing with Lora; Lora and her boyfriend, now husband, turned out to be sexually open-minded. So after some girl talk among Lora, Clair and me, we figured out what the guys would want (just so happens it was exactly the same as what we girls wanted) and our poly foursome started swinging with them. It was particularly good for Red, I think, because in our poly foursome he was the only one being monogamous; he and Clair still don't have sex, but Red has sex with Lora.

 

 

We have two children now. We always knew that Clair's son, Junior, was with my husband (none of us had played with the other couple in 4 months), but mine could have been either guy's, but Petunia is also hubby's child.

 

 

What was your closest brush to poly in your personal life?
Living it.

 

Was it falling in love or being to develop romantic feelings for another couple/person?
For me, it started with men I love. Hubby fell in love with a piece on the side that I brought to him. And she with him; me/her; her/me.

 

Perhaps it was someone falling in love with you, while you were already in a committed relationship or they were in a relationship?
That always seems to be the pattern with us. Just like swingers don't mind a spouse fucking someone else, we don't mind if he/she has emotions. However, don't mistake "new toy syndrome" for love, or even emotions. Going at it long and hard with a new sex partner is normal, but in most cases that just flames out.

 

Did it make you consider exploring being in a poly relationship?
When a relationship is real, and if you're open to it, it just happens. The only question after that is the arrangements.

 

Are you still in touch with the person/couple?
We are all still here, the children have really cemented our family, even for Red. I thought he would be disappointed that Junior wasn't his, but not at all, he loves and is wonderful to them both. We still swing with Lora and Walter. What surprises me is that we are still in touch and good friends with the women (including those that subsequently married) that I had set up as play partners for hubby during the time I was doing that. Even the women that I propositioned, but declined, are mostly still in touch and see us occasionally. Both hubby and I were always respectful, generous and accommodating, and it paid off as fuel for private fantasies (mostly mine BTW).

 

Having written this all out, it's more complicated than I had thought.

I seem to be moving steadily past "brush" and into just plain ploy... I'm happily married and my wife and I have been swingers for several years. I recently started seeing a young lady, who is also married (to another young lady who happens to be a very good friend of mine). They are in a poly group. This young lady and I are friends-with-benefits, but I find that I have rather strong feelings for her. Our respective wives are fine with it... in fact, I think they're more comfortable about it then we are. No idea where this is going, but it's fun.

That is a sign that you both are treating your spouses well. Love multiplied, not divided. Keep it up and show the world what we poly folks are made of.

My husband about 12 years ago said he had a fantasy he wanted to watch me have sex with his best friend and also join. Wanting to watch me enjoy his friends much bigger cock my husband is 5 3/4” long and almost 5” around and his friend 9 1/2” long and 6 3/4” around. While the idea when he asked turned me on it also scared me because I didn’t want to ruin our marriage. My husband reassured me that it wouldn’t, I was also happy it was his friend who I was actually attracted to. Because like I told my husband if it was one of the other guys it wouldn’t have happened. It was amazing and yes size made it better and awakened me to a new kind of pleasures. I was honest with my husband my desires wanting to do this again. It became a weekend thing for the three of us and his friend stayed many nights during the work week in bed the three of us. I know his friend awakened my sex drive into over drive but I enjoy sex even more with my husband as well. It was about 7 months into the three of us constantly enjoying sex together. His friend like always making me orgasm we was kissing very passionately. I said I love you so much and we was having one of our more intense love making moments. I didn’t think about my husband who was laying next to us on the bed. After looking at my husband I realized what I said and felt like shit. After his friend went home the next day I apologize to my husband feeling so bad. My husband smiled and kissed me saying it ok I understand we all enjoy each other for along time having very intense moments we share. We started talking allot about it after over the next few days I thought allot about it as well. I told my husband I love him more than before we ever did this but wanted to be honest I love his friend as well. Something inside me had to make it clear I wasn’t exactly sure other than I’m in love with his best friend. My husband smiled saying I know we talked about this already it ok. I said I’m in love with both of you sweetie and don’t want to ever lose either of you. We kissed and he said it’s fine I know, we talked allot more about it and also talked with his best friend. Shortly after that his friend moved in with us and it’s been amazing.

We have settled on having sex with only a closed group comprised of married couples. Usually two or three couples will get together for fun, but we also do threesomes and MF alone play. Does that count?

There is (was) a couple that we connected with so much with that we became a family. We traveled together. We partied together. We fought. We loved. We planned for the future. We lost the male half of the other couple to cancer in July. We cried together. We miss him. We played, and still play with other people. We will never forget the good times, or the bad times. I don't think there will be another fourth, we three will continue our relationship until we become two, then one, then none. It is a love that cannot be broken. It hurts. It always will. This is poly.

We had a female friend that became very close with my husband. We were close friends from the start and used to go to the nude beach together on a regular basis so we were totally cool being naked together. Things never got sexual - just fun. We wanted to shoot an amateur porn so we asked her if she would do the filming for us. After some urging by us - she agreed. Things were fine and she captured a little over an hour of footage. He needed to take a break and "reload" after cumming the third time. We thought it would be fun to watch the raw footage together. We got comfy on the bed and started watching - she was clothes, we were naked. After a few minutes my husband's cock got hard - he was clearly aroused. She asked if she could touch him so I gave her an absolute yes. She kissed him, stroked his cock and then started performing oral on him. After a few minutes, she stopped and undressed. My husband went down on her and she quickly climaxed. He rolled on his back and I mounted him - I was so horny watching them I needed him inside me. I cc liquors quickly and then motioned for her to fuck him. She got on him and lowered her pussy onto him. He held her tight and fucked her slowly and passionately for several minutes. She asked him if he could cum inside her so he quickly released. We spent the next three months together several times each week. We were exclusive with her and she was with us. There was a ton of sex and we became super close. It was clear that she had fallen for him. He loved the sex with her but definitely wasn't going to drop me for her and the idea of a poly relationship wasn't in the cards. I would have been fine with it. I loved being with her and loved seeing them together. I always wonder how it would have been had we stick with it.

We had many chances when we were young. But neither of us moved forward. Things changed in our forties. A new adventure. Nudism, swinging, poly relationships. Close friends with benefits. Life goes on and changes, twists and turns. Move with the flow. Emotions grow in time.....the more time, life and intimacy you share. It can be a blessing. That is how our experiences have been. It allows us to grow but doesn’t define us or our relationship. We are partners first.....best friends, lovers.....

This is how it began with us, except she and I fell for each other as well. Now we share a family, including children, along with the boyfriend I already had and another bi woman. I would say it turned out wonderfully.

I just got out of a poly relationship with my wife and my bestfriend. We all lived together and all slept in the same bed. Sad to say it didn't work out and ruined our friendships...

I'm in a Vee Poly relationship between 2 guys and Im the hinge. One guy who I am living with for quite a number of years (lets call him "Bob"). The other is more recent and is a single younger guy ("Xavier"). He used to be a playmate we swinged with but we became intimate. He wanted me to be his real gf so he stopped swinging. We transitioned into polyamory. It also made my swinging with Bob sparse but he can do so separately if he wishes. Xavier and I meet twice weekly, usually on a Friday or Sat for a sleepover on his house where I also help do his grocery shopping for the week or accompany him in his social or family functions. I also drop-in on any other weekday if he needs me or i need him after work. Recently Xavier wanted us to try swinging again. The update was on another post.

Closest to poly for us?

 

My wife and one of the other husbands tell one another, I love you, in front of his wife and me. It's fine. We swap for sex when we're together, I don't know what they do when they're alone. Maybe they quarrel, that would be going too far. (That's a joke.)

 

Another one of the wives and I go on dates to do things that my wife and her husband don't like. But it's ok with my wife and her husband because we also have sex. (True, but another joke.)

Since this thread from 2014 has been revived and someone"Liked" a post of mine from 2014, I'm updating that post.

 

I met a woman, Lora, who was a girlfriend of hubby's before hubby and I met. I would see her regularly at the fitness center and became enthralled, both because she is cute, buff, smart and because I fantasized about her and hubby... Long story short, I started socializing with Lora; Lora and her boyfriend, now husband, turned out to be sexually open-minded. So after some girl talk among Lora, Clair and me, we figured out what the guys would want (just so happens it was exactly the same as what we girls wanted) and our poly foursome started swinging with them...
Lora left her husband because she and hubby are still in love. She moved in with us and had children with him.

 

... It was particularly good for Red, I think, because in our poly foursome he was the only one being monogamous; he and Clair still don't have sex, but Red has sex with Lora..
Shortly thereafter, Red and Clair became sex partners as well. The rest of us are happy for them.

      Hi this is Petra, member of a three-woman, two-guy closed poly family. I am a long-time member of the Swingersboard, so if you want more background, you can look at previous posts. We are all now in our thirties and have found that while it used to be that the two guys could adequately take care of us three women, that is shifting. The guys have slacked off a little, while the women's desire for sex has increased. While it helps that we girls are bisexual and can help each other, we also seem to need (or at least want) more frequent sex with the guys. Penis-in-vagina intercourse is what we girls want, and the three of us women cum relatively easily, so a quick screw is satisfying.
       
      Anyone else facing a similar situation? The way we have primarily addressed this is by making one of our guys service two girls, her cumming while he holds back, then taking care of the second. Any thoughts?

      I’ve been lurking a while and read a ton here the boards. Now I’ve gotten myself into a situation that is not talked about very much on here. I’ve fallen in love with a playmate. I really didn’t mean for it to happen, and from what she tells me she didn’t mean for it to happen either. Let me start by saying I’ve been completely open and 100% honest with my wife, and my playmate Becca tells me that she has been mostly open with her husband. We’ll get to that in a bit.
       
      Becca and I met at a club, just a few months ago. From the first I thought she was attractive, I mean let’s face it, we’re here to fuck attractive people, right? My wife, Angie, and I went to the club that night to have some fun. We’re experienced swingers-we don’t play alot, swinging does not rule our lives- but we’ve had our share of fun. The night I met Becca was no different; we hoped to meet some fun people, have some good to great sex, and maybe make some friends we could hang out with on a regular basis.
       
      Becca and I both realized pretty quickly that there is a strong physical attraction between the two of us. The sex is effortless and I’ve never fit together with anyone better. After that first night of being together, my wife Angie and Becca’s husband Rob exchanged numbers. Becca asked for my number but I declined, telling her she could just text Angie if she wanted. I don’t normally like to have communication with the women I play with outside of swinging situations. I was not able to get Becca out of my head for the next several days- which is unusual for me. I threw caution to the wind sent her my number via SLS. She texted me a few hours later. Over the next several days we exchanged texts and even spoke on the phone a few times. All with Angie’s knowledge.
       
      We all four got together again a few weeks later-and it was even better than the first time. It was that night that I recognized that I had developed emotional feelings for Becca, and I was pretty sure that she had developed similar feelings for me.
       
      A few days after we were all together the second time I told my wife about my feelings for Becca. I told her I didn’t know if I was getting our sexual chemistry mixed up with emotion but I thought that could be the case. To my surprise Angie did not freak out. She told me she suspected something was up-given the amount of communication between Becca and I. I took a few weeks to sort out my feelings and spent many more hours talking to both Angie and Becca. I realized that I was probably in love with Becca. And I told them both so. Becca told me she feels the same way. This is not the “oh, I’ve just fucked someone new, I hope they like me best” kind of feeling. We’ve both been with other people since we met and it has not cooled our emotions. This is raw, real and deep.
       
      When I told Angie all of this she gave me license to pursue a relationship with Becca and follow it wherever it may lead. I did not ask for this, Angie offered it to me. Angie is secure about our commitment to each other-I am not leaving my wife and Becca and Angie both know that. Becca also has no intention of leaving her husband.
       
      Becca has talked with her husband Rob about us and the feelings we’ve developed for each other. What she has not told him is that she thinks loves me, she does not know how he would react to that (here is the mostly open part that I alluded to in the first paragraph). She has told him our feelings are deep but has not gone into how much we care for each other. Rob is completely comfortable with texts and calls throughout the day, but not with Becca and I meeting without him and Angie there-even for lunch or dinner. I completely understand and respect this. I don’t like it, but I respect it. I suspect if the shoe were on the other foot I would feel the same way. I really genuinely like Rob by the way, he treats both Becca and Angie really well-and he and Angie have really great sex together. Angie has told Rob that it’s just sex between the two of them and Rob feels the same way. They have no other feelings for each other past that.
       
      Becca and I text every day and talk several times a week; I know about her life and children, and she knows about mine. We have similar interests and lives outside of swinging, we are in similar businesses. We have become emotional rocks for each other. I get emotional needs met from her that I do not get from Angie. Again, I have been upfront with Angie about all this and she is fine with it.
       
      So here are my big questions: Do these things really ever work, or are we on the express train to Dramaville?
       
      Is it possible to keep something like this going long term?
       
      How do we navigate the fact that Rob is not comfortable with Becca and I meeting without him around (again, we will not be going against his wishes on this one) and knowing that he and Angie will want to have more variety in their swinging soon, which will leave less opportunity for Becca and I to be together?
       
      Any thoughts from the wise sages on here are welcome. I’m a big boy-if I’ve being naïve about anything please tell me. I can take it.

      We have been playing with a couple for about five years on and off. We see them at our club, at some resorts and at local house parties. Wherever we are, she always seeks out my husband. We have all been together many times and I enjoy her husband very much, but for my husband and I, it’s literally just sex.
       
      She is very different with my husband lately than with her other partners. I believe she has fallen for him. When I see them together, she is very passionate and attentive to him in ways that I don’t see when she’s with other men. My husband rolls with it and is always a pleaser.
       
      We don’t want to make things uncomfortable or lose their friendship, but we are getting uncomfortable with the notion that she may be interested in a deeper relationship than we have experienced with other partners.
       
      Should we just go with it? I’m not sure I can handle sharing him that way and I don’t think he’s interested in that type of relationship either. Thoughts about when the sex leads to something more?
    • By Bluespruce1
      So we took in a very good friend about six weeks ago following a very ugly split with her ex. We have know both of them for about ten years and started playing together about three years ago. I actually have known her much longer and before we started hanging out as couples.
       
      Anyway, things have evolved to a point where we are sharing our bed 4-5 nights per week. We are playing together and separately. For example, in the morning it’s not unusual for me to come out of the shower and find her and my husband snuggling, touching and even fucking. I actually love seeing them together and have no feelings of jealousy. She and I are doing the same and actually took the day off Wednesday and simply spent the day in bed alone while he was at work. It’s not all about sex, but it’s clear that she really loves him and I think he feels the same about her. I know that I care deeply for her and may actually be in love as well.
       
      We prepare meals together, hang out in the evenings together, play together and still swing separately, but it is definitely decreasing. Everything feels very natural and relaxed and we are all content - have we found ourselves slipping into a true polyamorous relationship? I never really thought about it and we were talking about it last night.
       
      Thoughts? Warnings? This is uncharted territory.

      This is the wife half asking this question. Am I correct in the definition of a poly in the fact that it means you believe you can love more than one person at the same time?
       
      If so, I am a little confused on how that can be. I guess I always felt that if you are truly in love your heart and soul is to that one person. How can you love more than one person at once and still feel that it is really love to both or either person?
       
      Please don’t take my question as a negative one, I am just very curious and would love to learn about how it works. I have only recently learned or heard about the lifestyle of polyamores, so I am intrigued and curious to learn a bit more on it. Also how then do you feel that you have met your soulmate, or do you believe there is no such thing or even possibly more than one soulmate for you?
       
      Thank you for any replies that may help me to understand this better.
