I searched this morning for communities related to polyamory and open relationships. Finding nothing, I created something. If you are interested in polyamory, open relationships, ethical non-monogamy, etc, swing on by for a chat, to post something silly, as you will.

edit: !polyamory@kbin.run

    Correct me if I am wrong but are there not websites for this stuff? This got me curious because never been screwed by a man. And as a lesbian I think about it from time to time.

      I mean. It’s any website that has user communities, if their users skew that way.

      Polyamory isn’t some niche kink.

      I think I may be misunderstanding your question. Is this not a “website for this stuff”? Or do you mean by “this stuff” a dating site? Mostly I see this site as a place for polyamory related discussion, memes, infographics, book reviews and lists, links to other ‘websites for this stuff’, news and related info, etc, etc. And all those things that other poly folx will think of that have never occurred to me. In case it’s not crossed your radar, it’s been out so long, Lesbian Polyfidelity by Celeste West was an early book in my polyamorous education. :-)

          You are welcome. It’s all about the conversation. I saw an opportunity to build a tiny bit of friendly space in the Fediverse. I’m a reddit-fugee, and don’t need the sort of antagonism I found there in my life, any more. Yesterday, I searched up polyamory on Fedi, and with my poor search skills thought no one had made a poly community here. So I popped up something on Kbin.run as it’s my ‘native’ instance, thinking it would be a stub, but there appears to be interest. I asked specifically, later in the day when I had searched more effectively and found that there are indeed other poly related communities, e.g. on lemmy.world, and also polyamory alberta (tho no posts there in a year, I hope they can flourish, soon) - I asked if there was a need/ interest in keeping this one (https://kbin.run/m/Polyamory), and everyone said we should keep it, as there’s strength in diversity. So my poly-brain couldn’t say no to that.

            Ok and not being a bitch or sarcastic that has got to be on the sidebar or something similar. You are better than my google search.

              Umm, (coyly) why thank you! I don’t use goog, if I can avoid it. Insert brief anti-corporate rant. In this case I was searching within the Feidiverse using the search bar on Kbin.run. And also searching with DuckDuckGo!, which search engine doesn’t save one’s searches/ results. I’ll put links to other polyfedi stuff in the sidebar, good suggestion. :-)

      I’m really confused how you got from polyamory to ‘getting screwed by a man.’

        Polyamory’s for lesbians too. Three women all dating each other counts. In a different comment they talk about not knowing what polyamory is, looking it up, and getting sex stuff, so maybe they saw some one-guy-two-girl porn stuff?

        What’s the confusion? This person wants to find a person with a ding dong to bring into their otherwise zim zam kinda life.
