Beyond that I also feel like the dating pool is just super small. Me and my partner have been poly for 4 years and still don’t have any other consistent partners.
Are you saying you want three boyfriends but for them to not be allowed to date anyone besides you? Because that’s called a harem and I don’t know anyone…male, female, or otherwise…who would be interested in something so inequitable.
If you’d not have a problem with your three boyfriends having other partners, then that is literally being polyamorous.
Agreed, but what I wrote wasn’t intended to imply that at all. I posited two scenarios, both of which would require full knowledge and consent of all parties: OP has three boyfriends who know about one another but are not permitted to have other partners of their own (harem), and one in which they know about each other and are free to date other people (polyamory).
Not reinvented. Just categorized. Harems would be a form of polygamous relationship. There are tons of different forms of poly relationships, including cheating while in a “monogamous” relationship.
This shit right here is why I’m not poly… it was a fucking joke your crowd has never been able to understand humor. God. Way to make me feel gross about the whole thing and ruin it.
I’m autistic & tend to take statements with minimal social cues at face value, also I’m willing to bet money autistic people are over represented among poly people. I didn’t intend to make you feel gross but how do you think your joke made me feel?

It the boyfriends didn’t know about the arrangement it would just be cheating.

That’s being poly
I love that society just reinvented harems and slapped a new label on it.

That’s actually really cool and shows just how different polyamory can be

Let me guess, you’re also against “identity politics” because it will “confuse the kids”
