The weird thing about being polyamorous
13 years ago
After a friend recently came out as being poly amorous (the ideal that you can love more than one person equally in a relationship) and I started thinking more about my own poly amorous nature, I realized it makes no difference at all. If I was in a relationship, I would quite happily remain monogamous for my mate, but then I thought that sounded weird like I was treating my affection like a "first come first served basis".
I still don't think I'll ever have anyone love me back, regardless of how many people I love, but still, what are all your opinions on the Poly amorous?

Some people still mistake polyamory as a open relationship, like having FWBs on the side besides the BF/GF with full knowledge of them, and thus being labeled as the same. Not true. Polyamory =/= open relationship, because imo, sex =/= love. Sex is a important part of a relationship yes, but it's lust, not love.

Also what gets me angry is that people calls polys sluts/whores because of the mistaking from the open relationship thing. WTF. Polys are usually in closed relationships.
