Polyamory is the desire, practice, or acceptance of having more than one loving, intimate relationship at a time with the full knowledge and consent of everyone involved. Polyamorous perspectives differ from monogamous perspectives, in that they reflect one or more partner's wish(es) to have further meaningful relationships and to accommodate these alongside their existing relationships.
What are your thoughts on this? Is it possible for people to love and have a relationship with more than one person at any given time? Provided that both people are completely honest and straightforward about it?
Would love to know what people's thoughts are on this.

I think it may be for some people but we have been conditioned otherwise......... For me though, I dont think Im capable of such love - I love with all my heart and soul and cant imagine how I would be able to split that....
Besides, I'm having a hard enough time finding one man never mind multiples
Lillym: Personally I don't think this is possible and I would certainly not agree to it.
But there are people who do have this kind of relationship... Hugh Hefner for one To each his own..
yesterday i read about a married couple here in the U.S. who have a polyamorous relationship. The wife currently has a boyfriend. And her husband is also able to have an intimate relationship with another woman.
Ambrose2007: God, I couldn't agree more. On the thread I started on that subject, I was startled by the number of people who didn't find them particularly objectionable...a few even liked them!!??
Ah, "Poly." It goes against the very fabric of my being, and yet I find myself being somewhat less judgmental about it for some strange reason these days...
Guess it's just experience that shows us that monogamy is just not all that it's cracked up to be.
I don't see anything wrong with it, if everyone is comfortable with each other and the situation. Not sure if I could do it myself though. I get the feeling it would feel too much like cheating, especially if I liked one more than the other and that would make me feel uncomfortable.

It would be interesting to know how long such relationships last.
I'd think that at some point the novelty/attraction may wear off, for one or both partners. What happens if one partner is still involved, and the other seeks to return to a monogamous relationship?
Not against it, never tried it, but a very complex arrangement, both emotionally and pschologically.
The more stress and complication we can pile on top of our lives the better. And then wonder why our kids are screwed up and so many people commit suicide.
