    Do we get to share in the sharing? Odd, but if I'm going to be alone full time, or alone half time and anguishing? I might just take alone full time, at least then I had a chance to be happy, because I'm a terribly jealous person (comes with the scorpio thing). Unless, if we are with our ideal partner, are we our ideal selves? My ideal self is far less selfish and jealous then my actual self.

    Yes, you can have a "person" as well.

    You attract those who are like you, or who want to be like you.
    Therefore!
    If you are with your ideal partner, you are your ideal self.

    Share. However, I will share the wife during certain times. PMS, When she is working, when her mother is visiting, etc...

    may we live in a happy 3some?

    Lol! Yes...

    Except... what if her other person is of the male gender?
    So potentially, you'd have a girlfriend, and she'd have a boyfriend.

    I'm Bi BOOM! I win.

    I don't find this to be a philosophy issue. This situation of sharing your love exists and can work well in the correct circumstances.

    Food for thought (from wikipedia):
    Polyamory (from Greek πολύ [poly], meaning "many" or "several", and Latin amor, "love") is the practice, desire, or acceptance of having more than one intimate relationship at a time with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved. It is distinct from both swinging (which emphasizes sex with others as merely recreational) and polysexuality (which is attraction towards multiple genders and/or sexes)[citation needed].

    Polyamory, often abbreviated as poly, is often described as "consensual, ethical, and responsible non-monogamy." The word is sometimes used in a broader sense to refer to sexual or romantic relationships that are not sexually exclusive, though there is disagreement on how broadly it applies; an emphasis on ethics, honesty, and transparency all around is widely regarded as the crucial defining characteristic.

    But PMS'ing is the Best! Cuddles, heating pads, hiking for hours, baked goods...
    Oh.
    Maybe most women don't PMS like I do.

    share... because i've already had plenty of practice at that, and while it's not ideal, as another poster mentioned.... something is better than nothing.

    I fully agree!!

    And Kudos! Not many people I've encountered know what "polyamorous" actually means.

    Personally, I consider it "philosophical" because it is quite debatable. Funny how when it comes to carbs/protein/cals, this site is ALL about jumping down each other's throats. But this particular thread is cut and dry thus far.

    I'd share him--but I would constantly compete with the other woman for his full attention. :smile:

    I would determine it more towards a sociological subject (I was a sociology major, I crave this stuff)

    I used to believe in true love; not anymore.
    I would rather be alone.

    I'll rather share than have no sex, and as I say if I get the double deal [poly] would be cool with me

    Toys are always welcome!

    But if you choose to be alone, no mutual *kitten*, webcams, videos, etc.
