How many polyamorous people are on this site?
Question... As a new and exploring member, I find it difficult to understand where the difference is between FWB, Polyamory, and Swingers. Don't we all fall into the same lifestyle classification? I understand what each is, but maybe there is more for me to understand.
Friends with benefits are friends who sometimes have sex together.
Swingers might be friends, or not, swinging is an encounter based on sex with multiple partners where everyone knows.
Polyamory is about long-term loving relationships with multiple people and these typically include sex.

Sounds like we're all family. 😉

Monogamy, that's when you pretend to only think about sex with one person forever. Yes, we are all family.
In our case, the male half is polyamorous and is in two long-term committed relationships. The female half has always considered herself monogamous, but has been cautiously exploring non-monogamy. As a couple, we respect each other's different needs and revel in our deep-felt love for each other.
