Are you fed-up with garbage, full-of-shit sites where nobody actually communicates, such as Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr? Do you wish your old friends who've migrated to those sites would return to LiveJournal? The the_lj_revival community has been set up with that aim in mind, and you are invited to join it. If you are already on LiveJournal and still have a Facebook profile, and would like to see more people returning to LJ or setting up accounts here, we invite you to post a link to this community on your Facebook Timeline. If you would like to find out who is still using LiveJournal and make contact with those who are already here, you are invited to copy and paste the 'about me' questions on the profile page and post them with your answers to the community.
Hello, I would just like to introduce myself, since I have just joined the group. I travel to Rochester often because that is where my oso lives, and my two ladies and I join in with the local meet-ups of a poly forum. For those interested in joining in the discussion and maybe coming to a get-together there is a forum called The Birdcage, providing an alternative to the Yahoo Groups that seem to dominate. If anyone would like more info, please let me know.
to the folks who have come and gone... I promised a few paragraphs about my views on Polyamorie with the advent of the next new member.
So here we are.
http://en.wikipedia.org Polyamory is a neologism, signifying having more than one long term sexual loving relationship at the same time, with the full knowledge and consent of all partners involved. Persons who enter into or consider themselves emotionally suited to such relationships may define themselves as polyamorous, often abbreviated to poly. The term is sometimes extended to refer to similar committed familial relationships that are not sexual in nature.
riffraff said that if you build it they will come (all night long)...
(I am a sucker for bad jokes.)
...and having gotten our first 'official' member (as riffraff && poeticdream are still only "watchers"), it feels a little bit more like I did not waste five minutes one day.
Yay for dreams coming true.
...now for the next goal, anyone posting 'sides my mindless drivel.
I honestly do not understand the finer points of it, but... I do not descriminate against anyone for their choice of lifestyle. However, as I am the only person posting thus far, here are some interesting ideas for why one might choose polygamy as their means of finding some enjoyment in relationships. If you have more information or a deeper view, please by all means, add to this.
polygamy has strong roots in the morman and christian and wiccan and other faiths
Perhaps you are christian and love one or more people in a romantic, sexual, fiscal, or otherwise manor... or are really bored with your spouse... or just like legalities and ownership and contracts and have multiple love interests...
polygamy is for you! a simple, moral, legal solution... well, the legality is questionable... since rochester is in america and polygamy is illegal in america... blame perpetual union of church and state for that one...
polygamy \Po*lyg"a*my\, n. [Gr. ?; cf. F. polygamie.] 1.
