This room is for questions that my wife and i have discussed and also ask our partners. You can make every rule you want in a relationship but sometimes you need a better way to get started. My poly life is relatively new and I had so many questions that i wanted answers to but no books that i had read had the answers. This took me on my journey of finding the answers threw discution with poly couples that had far more experiance than i did. It may not be perfact but i will grow and i hope i can help others in doing so.

Complicated, although that appears to be my answer to lots of these questions.
On the one hand the idea of a threesome (either MMF or MFF) appeals for a variety of reasons. On the other hand I wonder if I’d cope in terms of sharing someone’s attention.
Also the added complication of being demisexual and trying to find other people I am connected enough with to feel an attraction. I do wonder if I could feed off of a partner’s attraction to someone because the idea of picking up someone as a couple has some hotness appeal to.
This is probley needed assert the beginning make sure your both oon the same page. If she says only here and there and he all the time then try finding a mid point. Then being your partners in and see what they say. Or just have them while discussing all of these.
How often would you like all of the poly family to get together for group activities or dates?
Poly family i mean the 4 or 3 or 10 people you call a partner. Its fun to all get out and have a group date. You learn so much about not only your partners or meta, but you also learn alot about yourself.
Do you and i have anything that we do for each other or say to each other that you would like to remain between us?
You may have a activity that you and your partner do that is speacial to you both. It can sexual, activities, or places. Also should see if these change with time. This might be good question to bring up threw out your path.
