All of those relationships are common among poly people. Every arrangement you can imagine happens all the time.

Cousinā€™s wifeā€™s brother. Iā€™ve had him on unfollow for years. Funny thing is heā€™ll tell you heā€™s independent and both sides are FOS - then post right-wing meme after right-wing meme.

For a few seconds I thought that belonged to clovisā€™s AMA.

Thatā€™s not a silly story in the US because it ends up with a bill for $3500.

LOOOOOOL

It happens and is one of the most tricky things to navigate. Some people donā€™t mind being fetishized about their race or body type. Others find it very ā€œotheringā€.

Iā€™m not a big fan of racial play as the politics are so tricky.

Actually here too. Sort of.

The EMTs were really concerned that I was ok because if they took me to hospital I would get charged like $700 (which my work plan would have covered). Ambulance is often not covered in Canada.

That wasnā€™t quite was I was after. I probably didnā€™t ask it right. Hereā€™s an example

Prospective Club member: I was thinking about joining a club and I was considering yours
Club member: Oh itā€™s awesome. And donā€™t just take my word for it. Clovis, Jack, Sally, Susan, and Bill are in it. Theyā€™ll all tell you how great it is.

Would it be OK to out members in that context?

Oh I see. Definitely not. That would be a huge no no and result in immediate removal from the community.

Thatā€™s what I would have thought. I assume itā€™s fine to out yourself, though. Now what percentage would you say are open about being in such a club? I assume you donā€™t try to hide it yourself.

Friends and family know. My work doesnā€™t. Iā€™d say people generally keep it quiet given stereotypes and misconceptions.

Why are the people who always say both sides are FOS always leaning one way?

Are there usually drinks available to all?
Do people turn up at about the same time or just drift in and out when they feel like it?

Yes and yes.

I donā€™t drink much. One a night maybe. Some people need a bit more social lubrication. People tend to come and go.

What about drug use? Is it specifically not allowed, not encouraged, ignored?

He answered that in his weed story. No drugs allowed.

Cocaine swinger party would be a lot of flaccidity. Meth swinger party would either be flaccidity or 12-hour erection.

No illegal drugs allowed.

My sense is that in the gay community and probably similar ā€œactiveā€ sexual communities, Viagra is very common.

It is.
