Polyamory & Open Relationships

https://polyevents.blogspot.com/?m=0

There was a question about how to meet poly folx, and my first thought was go where they are - as in what is the overlap between one's interests and poly folx? This link is to a more specific subset of events where one can find like minded people. The question: Where have you found to be a good place to meet polyamorous people?

Currently, I'm polite to friendly with all of them. No outstanding conflicts. It's sometimes literal kitchen table poly with one, and the others I only see at like parties and such.

Some years ago I had two partners that absolutely did not get along with each other, and that was rough. Recently I was able to do a dinner with 3 partners and everyone had a good time.

I try not to make a big deal about folks meeting. I try to model after meeting your friend's friends.

For me there's a bit of a network effect where the polycule sprawls out into the distance. Partners have partners who have partners.

But for disconnected folks, it's mostly been tinder (yuck), and a local meetup.

(Also this might be the first post? That or nothing federated yet)

I wanted to include links to other related communities in this community. I was trying to come up with terms for all these related relationship types, and then I remembered that this venn existed. I've seen numerous versions of this previously. This one happens to come from (https://polyadvisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nonmonogamy3-large-768x512.png) or REALLY ENORMOUS (https://www.xeromag.com/sexualinformatics/nonmonogamy2.5.2.gif) See, I even credited my source. :-D

I'd like to put links on the sidebar to communities that relate to our topic of polyamory, of all sorts. I can't find them all by myself, so I'm asking for help from our lovely burgeoning community. Whatcha got?

I didn't see it this morning when I was searching. I'm pretty sure we should migrate there, before this whole thing gets outa hand. Does anyone see any reason to not join with (https://lemmy.world/c/polyamory)?

Edit: I find a plurality of support for keeping this community, based on the principle of strength through diversity. Let's DO THIS THING!!

I thought to post a poly flag for the community, but was reminded on searching, that there are a lot of them. What flag or image do you like? Maybe I'll cycle them thru? https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=polyamory+flag&iax=images&ia=images

Edit: As the community is new I'd like to roll with this thread for a couple weeks, and hope others will make suggestions, offer opinions, etc. And then I propose we have a poll to decide the fiag or flags. If multiple flags get chosen, then we can cycle them. I suggest a ranked choice vote, as it's more in keeping with my understanding of the philosophy of polyamory, supports all our community in it's diversity, and anarchistic.
