Polyamory

[shaft.ed]

I don't think I could do this. But it sounds like a very positive experience if both partners can enjoy such a relationship.

[shaft.ed]

How beneficial is polyamory to you sexual repitoire? (eg. do you guys teach each other techniques you experience with other partners?)

[shaft.ed]

Someone can PM me the links...thanks.

Porn is the easiest thing to find on the internet

[shaft.ed]

What is the aim of a polyamourous relationship as in is it just because you dont settle down with the one person, or is it a chance to do things you might not necessarily do or want to do with your wife?

Seems just experiencing relationships with people that don't have unneeded limits. I know with my wife, she wouldn't be keen on me growing a relationship with another women regardless of the intentions.

[shaft.ed]

If it's okay with them I don't see why not. I think the key here is whether the girl in your example is free to do what makes her happy. If she feels like she's allowed to see other people but chooses not to, then I don't see what's wrong with it, except that she'll have to deal with his un-faced fears if and when she changes her mind. If she feels like she's been manipulated into a one-sided situation, then it's not healthy IMO.

Well, she knew from the outset how the situation would be, and it was her choice to accept or not. Considering it ties into a master/servant situation, it kinda makes sense that it's "one sided", but she did understand that before she submitted. What I guess I mean is if the situation is explicitly known that she's not to 'stray' (and doesn't desire to), and is also made aware that her master would play with other girls, and accepts all that, is it liable to stay stable?

Course, there are other components but they don't tie directly into polyamory.

Not to be ignorant of the situation, but I thought that was normally how master slave relationships worked?

[shaft.ed]

Master slave couple aren't all that uncommon you know.

[shaft.ed]

If you have questions, feel free to post them.

1. Are you jealuous of this guy?

that guy's clearly asexual. No way he has time to practice all that crap AND surf for porn.

[shaft.ed]

Historical: Man, if Nixon had been into BDSM, he probably wouldn't have felt so emasculated and powerless that he felt like he had to bug a hotel room just to feel like he was in control of something.

Are you sure he wasn't?

[shaft.ed]

Seriously, if you have to pee while you're in someone else's house you just hold it until you get home?

[shaft.ed]

Cliquey, it would seem to me from your statement that, like me, your number one thing isn't really cheating, but rather "honestly," in this situation, and as has been pointed out by drunkychaz, there is no deception whatsoever, so I don't know that it can be labeled as cheating. I think YThill has been overall very honest: The top issues I see with his arrangement are the unspoken jealously that all humans feel when they see something that is in their mind as "theirs" being "used" or "possessed" (quotation marks because those terms are probably a little off) by someone else, and also the social stigmas that go along with such practices. I don't know that I would be able to make such an arrangement work, seeing as I can sometimes be a fairly jealous person, but if YT can get past that, then jolly good for him.

ITP, TSQ has a polyamorous orgy with commas.

[shaft.ed]

???
What kind of a name is "Xine"?

a hippy name obv

EDIT: Also I agree with Ythill that it's interesting that so much of this dicussion is sexual in nature.

[shaft.ed]

What kind of hippy name is Christine? Xine is way cooler.

[shaft.ed]

free ticket to prostate stimulation, sure knows how to please a man

I clearly missed something

[shaft.ed]

free ticket to prostate stimulation, sure knows how to please a man

I clearly missed something

We also kinda of have the agreement where if one of us were to take a lover of the same sex then there would be no foul on the play

doesn't really require a same sex partner...

[shaft.ed]

So, you could be doing multiple hot women, but instead you're posting on MS?

You haven't played mafia until you've lynched a GF in LYLO while doing double-cowgirl.

This seemed tangentially related.

[shaft.ed]

that might explain why it's non-existent

what are poohsticks anyway?

[shaft.ed]

Shaft.ed, were you born 40 years old?

probably. When I was a kid and my grandparents would take me to the grocery store and offer to buy me treats, I would decline saying "You can't buy that. It's not on sale."

[shaft.ed]

Do asian hippies exist? I think a tiny asian hippie with biting sarcasm that plays the cello would be the most attractive woman in the work to me.

[shaft.ed]

I don't think it is. There's plenty of non-sexual (or pseudo-sexual) behavior that most people refrain from if they're mono.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I am encompassing the "pseudo-sexual" behaviors under the umbrella term "sex" in that quote. I'm not sure where you are putting the line at.

^Not a Bill Clinton alt^

[shaft.ed]

Of course they exist. I know a girl that fits that description exactly, except she plays the violin.

damn it, I hate violins

[shaft.ed]

I prefer Hanzai Smatter

but that's probably just the asian fetish

[shaft.ed]

I got married for health insurance and I'm in a monogamous relationship. Also weddings don't have to be expensive, don't understand why they have become such a huge cash dump.

[shaft.ed]

I dunno, maybe my sample size of ~15 romances and ~25 friendships is too small to rule out RNG, but when 86% of my romances are a net negative and 44% of my friendships are a net negative

15 ended romances and 25 ended friendships?

Either your like 87 or I'm mightly confused.

or you get more attached than the people you are attached to

[shaft.ed]

Funny, and here I always thought that being in love with yourself was called narcissism and was generally a BAD thing.

It's called masturbation. It's fun, you should try it.

[shaft.ed]

Stop keeping track of who gives what to whom. You aren't working in shipping and receiving.

Also, do you really think God is so selfish to want you to give him everything? Why would he have made you just to get stuff back?

[shaft.ed]

I like to go to the big country estates and sit under the weeping willows while it rains. The gardens are beautiful and just sit amongst them in the rain. Take a plastic bag with a change of clothes. Be willing to get genuinely wet. Just sit there and watch the world go by.

This sounds like a great idea! I think its going to rain today. I only have one pair of shoes....might still go for it. Really love rain, but haven't been soaked by it for years now.

[shaft.ed]

I think the people you love would not agree that you have enough for everyone. At least my wife is always saying she doesnt get enough.

[shaft.ed]

Love isn't about getting, it's about giving.

(WTF? Thread explosion!)

could you mention that to my wife when you "see" her in peru?

[shaft.ed]

On a side note how was the rain shaft.ed?

Way too much lightning to sit outside in it. I got a little wet on my way home but it wasnt as fun as getting soaked through. Hopefully next time we'll just get rain.

[shaft.ed]

Does it really count as a blind date?

It will be if Ythill is on target

[shaft.ed]

@Shea, stop being retarded

@Oman, I sense that rape is a touchy subject for you. Was there some incident involving large amounts of alcohol, a general's daughter and a herd of sheep?

[shaft.ed]

It will be if Ythill is on target

Did I tell you about that?

Don't think so. I was just referring the Little Mermaid getting it on the face imagery. But it sounds like you've got a story to tell. Don't hold back.

[shaft.ed]

sweet, really good rain right now. Gonna wrap up my laptop in plastic and take a slow walk home

[shaft.ed]

Take your shoes off if possible to maximize the experience.

I'd love too, but walking city streets barefoot is probably not a great idea. (also a nice way to keep my only pair of shoes dry)

wish i had some sandals right about now.

[shaft.ed]

I hear he once shot a girl in the eye

[shaft.ed]

sweet, really good rain right now. Gonna wrap up my laptop in plastic and take a slow walk home

Awesome, how was it?

Ended up missing the downpoor due to a deadline for a certain mafia game. I just got drizzled on again.

Alright, what's everyone's favorite sex position?

Whichever one my wife says...actually standing up front to back no bending over (there has to be a name for this)

[shaft.ed]

@shaft:

Let's call it "table leg."

Lol, but that's not what my wife likes.

[shaft.ed]

I guess I don't even have to have my friends hurt me anymore, when I can count on the enemies of my friends to do so. One more reason not to talk to people...

+100 self pitty points. Level up!

[shaft.ed]

@AniX: On reflection, it must be that you do not produce semen. If you did, it would come out (no pun intended) nocturnally, if no other release were available.

No semen doesn't have to come out. Your testes can absorb it. I've never had a wet dream. And at times have gone more than a month without ejaculating. I'm also pretty sure there was a decent amount of time between the onset of sperm production and my first ejaculation. ejaculated.

[shaft.ed]

It doesnt build up because sperm are constantly absorbed. They have a shelf life of about a month in your balls.

[shaft.ed]

You're talking sperm; I'm talking semen. Different things.

headdesk

There's nothing magical about semen. It's mostly with sugars and proteins. It's production is also regulated by sexual arousal, so you don't get into Lucy and the converybelt situations if you dont ejaculate.

Man how is your son going to pull off his teenage rebellion; be a straight laced, god faring, monogamous, drug free, stodgy, conservative member of the armed forces?

Your not leaving him many options!

Becoming a Trekkie is the obvious one.

Win

I hope the people going to Stumptown can plant the seeds.

[shaft.ed]

There's nothing magical about semen.

Practicioners of folk magic disagree, as do many others.

I'm surprised I haven't animated my toilet yet.

[shaft.ed]

You masturbate over a toilet? Why?

No, I deposit the sperm into the toilet upon completion. Isn't that normal? Dried semen has an unpleasant odor to it.

[shaft.ed]

You masturbate over a toilet? Why?

Eh. I find when I'm in a hurry jerking off in the toilet is the cleanest way to go. Otherwise I waste tissues or toilet paper.

This too, but I haven't had a "quickie" in a while living away from my wife.

[shaft.ed]

I don't like touching myself, in almost any capacity.

have you tried a table leg?

[shaft.ed]

It's not very clear-cut. I'd rather not have Xine bring lovers home at all, because her partners tend to be

short

-term and I don't want to expose our family to the potential problems.

I first read this as short. I was really surprised by your hatred of short men and their giant penises.

[shaft.ed]

Basically, it comes down to (in straight relationships, anyway) men who aren't crazy are more willing to have one night stands than women who are aren't crazy.

but switch crazy with ugly

[shaft.ed]

Yeah, I think I have pretty high standards as well. Of course, I'm also

terrible

at meeting girls. I can do the whole chat them up, become friends thing, but not I'm really bad at sparking sexual energy with anyone I don't really know. And even with people I know, I'm not that good at it hahaha.

I think this guy could give you some tips

[shaft.ed]

They scissor!

always called it forking

[shaft.ed]

scissor makes a lot more sense because forks have more than two prongs

[shaft.ed]

Actually there are instances of exclusive monogamy in the animal kingdom. In fact, I think there was a study of prairie voles? that mapped it to a genetic locus. Could be way off on the species but it was a small ground dwelling mammal. Different communities were found to practice polygamy or monogamy.

[shaft.ed]

arousal supresses the gag reflex. Of course this means singer would have to be tasting herself while unaroused, which is a little bit odd

[shaft.ed]

I thought it was rather cheesy and drawn out. My wife slept through it. She was the lucky one.

[shaft.ed]

It means you didn't make it very clear that they were intended to provide birthday sex

[shaft.ed]

Or I made it too clear. It's a fine line.

you remembered to mention the multiple orgasms right?

[shaft.ed]

Crash his wedding with a human petting zoo

[shaft.ed]

Glad to have been of service.

you've been converted too? what's this world coming to,

if you know what I'm talkin about

[shaft.ed]

two of them were attractive, scantily clad females that kept making out with and groping each other.

that's a great advertisement for anything really

[shaft.ed]

I don't think you've quite got the idea of polyamory down just yet

[shaft.ed]

anyone here judging for being a liar is on some level or another a hypocrite.

Wrong.

I don't know Socio. Dating a woman with two kids, while you got two other chicks on the side and telling them you aren't seeing anyone else is

exactly

like lying to people while playing a party game. That's why I had to quit playing mafia, because I couldn't take the emotional strain of lying to people all the time. I even tried going to confession and I'm and atheist! I'd be all like "forgive me father for I have sinned." And he'd say "mafia...again? I told you, you don't have to worry about that. But if you masturbated last week, that's really naughty. You'd better tell me all about that. Where you a naughty boy?"

[shaft.ed]

Danielle (aka Dan! but only Obi, Xine, and I are allowed to call her that)

So if one were to sing the Danny Boy segment of Chumba Wumba's

Tubthumping

, would she stab said singer with that knife?

[shaft.ed]

There's a reason for the exclamation point.

She has a penis too?

[shaft.ed]

What would that say about the period in your name?

that my internet persona has smaller junk than your not-tranny friend?

[shaft.ed]

I was making a pun.

you mean a palindrome?
