Cougar + Polyamory?

[cleoquel]

I'm curious if any cougars (or cubs) see themselves as polyamorous, or potentially polyamorous. Sometimes I think age-differerent relationships (i hate the word age-gap; i have enough gaps thank you!), are the sort of things that someone experimenting with honest poly-relationships of either younger or older can benefit from, either for a season, or from a more permanent conviction to develop an intentional family.

I have no idea what anything you said means. Someone please translate for me.

Well, I'm not sure if "swinging" was the intention or just multiple sexual partners.

I believe being polyamorous is not about swinging, but about having multipartner commited (loving) relationships, with the consent of everyone involved. But I'm not quite sure. Wish cleoquel could enlighten us a little more on the subject.

you're right silver... just don't know if it would be something for me. I don't like to share and if I were to have two men I loved then it would only be fair if he had someone else and I am not sure I could deal with that one.

[silverrain]

I gotta admit I don't know much about it, but I've heard polyamory works great for some people. I guess everything goes as long as there is true honest consent of all the parts involved...
Personally, I'm not sure if I could deal with it either... I mean, monogamous relationships are complicated enough haha.
Sounds pretty exhausting too hahaha.

I had no idea what this meant but I always find it odd when someone starts a thread and then doesn't come back to it. Hopefully this person will.

I agree..there is no way that I could share my guy with someone else, or multiple people. And as for the original poster, she said some nasty things to me so I'm not very happy, just overly diplomatic and forgiving..or stupid

[houstoncougar]

she said nasty stuff on here to you and then deleted it? hmmmm
