She waited until she finished todo it, resisting the urge to play with herself. But dammit, when they got home she'd wank herself like a four-fisted monkey. ~ Tymber Dalton
Polyamory quotes by Tymber Dalton
Don't let discomfort silence you when your voice can lead to a better situation for all of us. ~ Kevin A. Patterson
Polyamory quotes by Kevin A. Patterson
You'll need courage because polyamorous relationships can be scary. Loving other people without a script is scary. Allowing the people you love to make their own choices without controlling them is scary. The kind of courage we're talking about involves being willing to let go of guarantees - and love and trust your partners anyway. ~ Franklin Veaux
Polyamory quotes by Franklin Veaux
It isn't polyamory that is only for the young and carefree, I explain, but activism. ~ Elisabeth Sheff
Polyamory quotes by Elisabeth Sheff
A great many people do believe that to be single is to be somehow incomplete and that they need to find the other half. [...] We believe, on the other hand, that the fundamental sexual unit is one person. Adding more people to that unit may be intimate, fun and companionable, but does not complete anybody. ~ Dossie Easton
Polyamory quotes by Dossie Easton
I can't remember what I've done with my lingerie. I look in the containers under my bed, as if my sexual self has been relegated to the wrong side of the mattress. I imagine my husband's sexuality down there too, our shadow selves making love deep in our unconscious as we cuddle above the mattress as brother and sister. ~ Jalina Mhyana
Polyamory quotes by Jalina Mhyana
The greatest gift you can give your romantic relationship is to become emotionally buoyant. ~ Susan Wenzel
Polyamory quotes by Susan Wenzel
She knew every single one of us. Gave us the chance to share in her bed. We all took comfort that she was here and we were not alone. The princess had nothing but love to give. ~ James W. Bodden
Polyamory quotes by James W. Bodden
If a group isn't being actively inclusive, it's being passively exclusive. This passive attitude results in lifestyle communities that do not reflect the local population. ~ Kevin A. Patterson
Polyamory quotes by Kevin A. Patterson
Free love? As if love is anything but free! Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. High on a throne, with all the splendor and pomp his gold can command, man is yet poor and desolate, if love passes him by. And if it stays, the poorest hovel is radiant with warmth, with life and color. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king. Yes, love is free; it can dwell in no other atmosphere. In freedom it gives itself unreservedly, abundantly, completely. All the laws on the statutes, all the courts in the universe, cannot tear it from the soil, once love has taken root. ~ Emma Goldman
Polyamory quotes by Emma Goldman
There will be other forms in addition to our classic marriage. One is already looming on the horizon: polyamory, or having more than one intimate partner. ~ Volkmar Sigusch
Polyamory quotes by Volkmar Sigusch
When jealousy rears up, it indicates that something inside of you is afraid. It's an alarm, nothing less and nothing more. Treat it as such. ~ Anthony D. Ravenscroft
Polyamory quotes by Anthony D. Ravenscroft
Polygamy has an ancient history and is legal in many parts of the world. I find the rules of polygamy to be damaging and it's potentially dangerous to young girls and terrible for "excess" boys. But polyamory is supposed to be a more equal arrangement among agreeing adults. ~ Emily Yoffe
Polyamory quotes by Emily Yoffe
Love is like sunlight," she said when I didn't respond. "You can give all of yourself to someone and still have all of yourself left to give to others, and to yourself. To your work. To anything or anyone you choose. Love isn't like food; you won't starve anyone by giving It freely. It's not a finite resource. ~ Jacqueline Koyanagi
Polyamory quotes by Jacqueline Koyanagi
I firmly believe that relationships don't end because new people come along to break them up; people come along to break them up because something else in the relationship is already off. ~ Sophie Lucido Johnson
Polyamory quotes by Sophie Lucido Johnson
We are raised to believe (on the surface, at least) that us humans only have so much love to give, and that it comes in a standard round unit: one. After all, we associate love with the heart, and, well, you've either got a whole heart, or you're dead, period. You can't, common wisdom goes, just run around dividing that one heart up freely; to claim to do so means that you're either a fool, or you're dividing up something that is dead. ~ Anthony Ravenscroft
Polyamory quotes by Anthony Ravenscroft
A real relationship doesn't properly begin until the NRE burns away. That's when you have to start dealing with this person as an all-around human being, replete with irritating little habits. When disillusion sets in, love can begin. ~ Anthony D. Ravenscroft
Polyamory quotes by Anthony D. Ravenscroft
But the largest number of primate species--thirty-four--have a promiscuous system in which females routinely associate and copulate with multiple males. ~ Jared Diamond
Polyamory quotes by Jared Diamond
(In reference to swingers) In the meantime, if you wish to declare yourself polyamorous, get used to the fact that the confusion is gong to remain as a pejorative. Sure, clear up the misunderstanding as much as you can, but don't put too much effort into setting yourself up as a "good", responsible, community-oriented polyamorist by contrasting yourself to the "bad" swingers - they may not be your siblings, but they're definitely your cousins. ~ Anthony D. Ravenscroft
Polyamory quotes by Anthony D. Ravenscroft
If there's anything I've learned from polyamory, it's that the quickest way to destroy a relationship is to try to make it into something it's not, to force it into a box that it doesn't really fit in, and to slap labels on something and assume that those labels give the relationship value. No, no, and no. What you end up with is damaged goods in a mislabeled package that end up absolutely where you didn't want to send the damn thing in the first place. ~ Page Turner
Polyamory quotes by Page  Turner
Polyamorous people are wary of having others' values inflicted upon themselves, and so tend to stay very far away from making such pronouncements, to the point that they will actively ignore predatory behavior that is affecting their own community. ~ Anthony D. Ravenscroft
Polyamory quotes by Anthony D. Ravenscroft
I reserve the right to love many different people at once, and to change my prince often. ~ Anais Nin
Polyamory quotes by Anais Nin
Include and project the voices of underrepresented people in the spaces where their access is limited. Go love, and build, and restore, and speak, and engage, and create. Go be better and do better. ~ Kevin A. Patterson
Polyamory quotes by Kevin A. Patterson
When I tell her I feel like the other woman, she laughs, that's just learned sexist bullshit. We are all in charge of our own bodies and what we decide to do with them. We are all our own.
I believed it when she said it, like she'd opened up a new valve that had been stuck. I felt unconfined and open-minded and totally confused. Intellectually, non-monogamy made complete sense; emotionally, it felt like sandpaper across my eyelids. ~ Zoe Whittall
Polyamory quotes by Zoe Whittall
Human beings are hard-wired to make relationships. We do so in many capacities, fleeting and long-lasting, between different sexes, both inside and outside of the confines of the almost universally accepted partnership we called marriage. ~ Louisa Leontiades
Polyamory quotes by Louisa Leontiades
The dissatisfaction and internal conflict that I had felt throughout my life wasn't due to my husband or my marriage or my career. It was because for the majority of my life I had been trying to be something that I wasn't. I was not true to myself. ~ Louisa Leontiades
Polyamory quotes by Louisa Leontiades
Well, I've seen porn!" Evan defends and Dan just looks at him.
"Okay, captain Pornie, walk me through it," Dan challenges. "I'll be the pizza guy, and Jeff can be the plumber. You can be ... hey, why don't you be the high-powered young executive?"
Evan grins at him with a glint in his eye. "Okay, fine." He laces his fingers together and flexes them in front of him as if he's warming up. He sits back in chair and his eyes focus on the eaves of Jeff's roof then begins.
"The young executive come home after a hard day ...
[five pages of detailed porn]
" ... and all fall asleep together on the executives huge bed. The End." Evan is pretty clearly proud of himself, and Dan really blame him.
After an appreciative silence, Dan says, "Okay, yeah, so maybe there's some merit to the whole threesome thing. ~ Kate Sherwood
Polyamory quotes by Kate Sherwood
And her lips: so inviting, bathed in shimmering wet, dark red gloss. They were meant for only two things, kissing and making love to your cock. ~ A.V. Roe
Polyamory quotes by A.V. Roe
The more love you give, the more you are capable of giving. It's only when you shut off the source that it dries up. ~ K.J. Charles
Polyamory quotes by K.J. Charles
What should the sleeping arrangements be in a ménage-à-trois? Is it polite to read while two people have sex beside you? ~ Adam Thirlwell
Polyamory quotes by Adam Thirlwell
It's possible to be single and poly. It's possible to have only one partner and be poly. If your intention is to remain open to the possibility of multiple romantic relationships, you are polyamorous regardless of your current relationship status. Indeed, if polyamory is part of your identity (for some people, it is; for others, it isn't), you might be in a monogamous relationship and still be poly. ~ Franklin Veaux
Polyamory quotes by Franklin Veaux
In a sane world, a term like "chronic crisis" would be instantly seen by anone as an oxymoron. Nevertheless, that's the state that many of us Western Worlders live in, provoking crisis after crisis so that we can justify our dis-ease rather than addressing that directly. ~ Anthony D. Ravenscroft
Polyamory quotes by Anthony D. Ravenscroft
Some people talk about polyamory as the next logical step for our species. A sexual free-for-all without exclusive relationships, similar to the free love hippie movement of the 60s, where everyone is eternally single and can date as many people at the same time as they want and sleep with whoever they want, whenever they want, as if having sex with someone were no different than playing ping pong. Call ~ Oliver Markus
Polyamory quotes by Oliver Markus
True Love in this differs from gold and clay,/That to divide is not to take away. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Polyamory quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
It's kind of like polyamory. I'm often dating several projects at once. ~ Xan West
Polyamory quotes by Xan West
Polyamory can feel threatening because it upsets our fairy-tale assumption that the right partner will keep us safe from change. Polyamory introduces the prospect of chaos and uncertainty into what's supposed to be a straightforward progression to bliss. But a healthy relationship must first of all be resilient, able to respond to the changes and complexity life brings. Nor is happiness actually a state of being. It is a process, a side effect of doing other things. The fairy tale tells us that with the right partner, happiness just happens. But happiness is something we re-create every day. And it comes more from our outlook than from the things around us. ~ Franklin Veaux
Polyamory quotes by Franklin Veaux
I think I held on for so long because I kept hearing that the alternative, monogamy, was oppressive. ~ Fabian Romero
Polyamory quotes by Fabian Romero
when you seek to reduce risk by imposing constraints on other people's behavior, you transfer that risk onto others. By doing this you say, "I want to explore polyamory but I don't want to take this risk, so I will transfer it onto any new partners, by asking them to be open and vulnerable while also limiting how much they are allowed to advocate for their own needs. ~ Franklin Veaux
Polyamory quotes by Franklin Veaux
Leaning down for a quick peck on Jeff's lips, and then he starts squirming and rearranging and manhandling until somehow they end up with Dan in the middle, Jeff stretched out on his left side, Evan on his right. Dan isn't really sure how that happened, and he's not at all confident that it's a good idea. ~ Kate Sherwood
Polyamory quotes by Kate Sherwood
It's a false premise to say that most monogamous people have chosen monogamy. Most people belong to the religion they were raised in ... because that's what's familiar. That's the milieu they grew up in, and, for better or worse, they're just continuing the pattern. Until this traditionalist mindset is shaken loose, you would likely try from reflex to impose notions onto nonmonogamy that are not only untenable in the new context but spel sudden and messy doom even in situations that otherwise could be worked out. ~ Anthony D. Ravenscroft
Polyamory quotes by Anthony D. Ravenscroft
I sat on the bed. Neither of us said anything. I wasn't slick and sophisticated enough for this. What do you say to boyfriend A when he finds you naked in the bed of boyfriend B? Especially if boyfriend A turned into a monster the night before and ate someone. I bet Miss Manners didn't cover this at all. ~ Laurell K. Hamilton
Polyamory quotes by Laurell K. Hamilton
When you begin with the premise "I treat everyone equally," you have already blinkered yourself from seeing where you don't, or can't, or shouldn't. There is no way to treat two people equally, because they are each unique, with respective strengths and weaknesses. ~ Anthony D. Ravenscroft
Polyamory quotes by Anthony D. Ravenscroft
Filip was from San Jose, but his painfully good looks excused that. He was tall, six-foot-something-or-other, intensely blue eyes, chiseled features, massive package. Didn't have Prince Albert in a Can, but he did have a thick gauged one through his cock head. His name really wasn't Filip, it was Brent, an all-American moniker about as dark and mysterious as pastel-colored bobby socks. Initially, I joked about his choice of sobriquet, changing his name to go off to the big city, transform into Mr. Big Stuff, until it dawned on me I'd done the same damn thing with my 'Catalyst' surname. So I shut up.

He comported himself with rigid shoulders and stiff gestures, as if he had a secret. Turns out he did. Filip was married, had a wife for more than a year now, but they had some kind of crazy arrangement. Days they were a couple; evenings they were free to do as they pleased. Where'd they come up with that idea, Jerry Springer?



"If you wanted to go back to your place, we could," Filip suggested. "But only until dawn." Yeah, right. An affair is an affair, the way I see it. What difference is there between 5 and 7 a.m.? Was their marriage some sort of religious fasting thing, starve until the sun sets then binge and party down? I'd never sunk my teeth into married meat, but figured it was a logical progression from my I'm Not Gay But It's Different With You saga. And if I was going to sin, I was gonna sin good. That means no peeking to see whether it's still d ~ Clint Catalyst
Polyamory quotes by Clint Catalyst
Roen snorted. "You two have the strangest relationship in the Dells."
Archer smiled slightly. "She won't consent to make it a marriage."
"I can't imagine what's stopping her. I don't suppose you've considered being less munificent with your love?"
"Would you marry me, Fire, if I slept in no one's bed but yours?"
He knew the answer to that, but it didn't hurt to remind him. "No, and I should find my bed quite cramped. ~ Kristin Cashore
Polyamory quotes by Kristin Cashore
I don't believe love or sexual pleasure is a zero-sum game. ~ A.V. Roe
Polyamory quotes by A.V. Roe
We live in a culture that teaches us that "men" are the sexual aggressors and pursuers. We also live in a world where most women, trans, and non-binary folks have had negative experiences with men who are hitting on them. These factors tend to lead to some big gender differences for those exploring non-monogamy.

Cisgender men often struggle when they first enter the world of non-monogamy. Within consensual non-monogamy (CNM) communities, most folks who sleep with cis men choose their partners based on referrals and endorsements. As in the world of business, it truly is who you know. Cis men who have been in the communities longer have dated and interacted with more people, and, therefore, have more word of mouth. It is an unfortunate reality that many, especially cisgender women, will not date men they don't already know about through their friends and communities.

So, if you're a cis man exploring CNM, expect that it may take a while before you start seeing the kind of attention that others get. Focus on being kind, respectful, and honest. Respect the needs and boundaries of everyone with whom you interact. Spend lots of time getting to know other people simply as people - especially of your preferred gender to date - and form genuine friendships and connections with them free from any pressure to become sexual. ~ Liz Powell
Polyamory quotes by Liz Powell
Environmentalists believe that monolithic solutions - be they in the auto, nuclear, or genetics field - are doomed to fail and lead only along the path to dependence. They feel rather that it is far more sensible to approach the future by opening up more possibilities. Likewise, polyamorists believe that monogamy sterilizes love and fosters unhealthy codependence, whereas multiple relationships feed off of each other's differences and ultimately lead to an enriching fulfillment. ~ Francoise Simpere
Polyamory quotes by Francoise Simpere
What I'm putting forth," he said, "is that the four of us make some memories, become fast friends and abandon starchy old mind-sets about monogamy. The world's gone crazy. Let's do the same."
"The answer is no," Dad said. "And I'm surprised I'm not punching you. ~ George Saunders
Polyamory quotes by George Saunders
We've been down the road of your hasty exits too many times, Mrs. Danvers. You married your master, and you married a sadist--of your own free will. You might remember that when you're tempted to walk out in a huff, defy my orders, and behave like a selfish brat. You got that? ~ Lizbeth Dusseau
