One day I will turn these into Pride merch ;u;

I’m #bi-blast btw <3

I'm wondering if you have any advice for someone who has never been in a poly relationship, I'm in a weird scenario rn :<

I have crush on this guy, but this guy is in a polycule with 2 other people, I don't know if they are in a closed relationship, and i'm only really close with one of them but i want to get to know them all better, but how do I ask if they are open??

I don't want to ask them out if they are in a closed relationship, but I'll never know if I don't ask if they are open, but if I ask and they aren't then it might be obvious that I'm into them??

Do you have any advice?

Heya anon!

Even though it might seem scary it is probably best to simply ask your crush if their relationship is an open or closed one. You can always tell them that you're simply interested in finding out more about polyamorous relationships if you're afraid of your crush seeming obvious.

so me and my partner of 5 years have recently been hooking up with this other couple, we met and realised we were all bi and attracted to each other so it didn't take long for one thing to lead to another lol but we haven't had massive chats about the boundaries in terms of romance regarding these two in particular (in the past we've been practicing relationship anarchy)

we've all hooked up like 5 times now and I'm def starting to catch feelings for both of the new ppl, but I just really don't know how to approach this w/ my primary partner and even tho I kno I should communicate what I'm feeling I'm worried about ruining what is naturally developing on its own.. if that makes sense. I feel like a 1 on 1 relationship would be more organically developing but that's a bit less do-able in multiple people relationships.

would love any advice on the best way to talk about this with my primary partner and new people in my life, or whether I should just chill and see what happens for now? Ty so much!! I love ur page xx

Hi friend!

I definitely think it's worth sitting down with your primary partner and having a conversation about this if you want to pursue something romantic outside of them. In a broader sense, I would also have a group conversation (maybe even over text if easier!) to check in with everyone's boundaries - how does everyone feel about kissing/holding hands/other romantic activities? I know a lot of times in relationship anarchy that people dont care to define labels and, like you said, "see what happens." Which is perfectly fine! But there is never harm in clarifying everyones boundaries and intentions with their relationships.

Good luck anon!

Of course we also have some cute little pixel animations as part of our GIFS!

Feel free to use these if you’d like.

[Image Description: A set of 2 square images. 

Image 1: At the top of the image is a white box with left-aligned black text inside which reads “not even a little sorry for reading polyamory in every piece of mono-normative media.” Beneath the box is a black and white screenshot of the film “Belfast”, a 2021 coming of age comedy-drama film written and directed by Kenneth Branagh. The screenshot shows the main character, a young boy named Buddy, at the left side of the image looking at a young girl at the right side of the image. At the bottom center of the image are white subtitles, showing what’s being said, which read “...That’s what I want.” At the bottom right of the image is bold italicized, small white text which reads “belfast”. Beneath it is thin white text which reads “2021 kenneth Branagh”.

Image 2: The image shows part of a script.The text is left-aligned and starts with italicized text which reads “her”. Beneath it is some black text which reads “2013″. And beneath that is the director’s name in black text which reads “spike jonze.” On each image of the script are character lines. All the names on the script are shown in capitalized, centered black text. The lines for each character are in left-aligned black text beaneath the character names. Starting from the top the lines read: Line 1 reads “Pop: What do you want?” Line 2 reads “Buddy: Every night before I got to sleep when I say my prayers, I ask God[...] when I grow up, can I marry Catherine, even if she loves Ronnie Boyd? But she could still see him. But she’d marry me. That’s what I want.”

[Image Description: A single square GIF with a transparent background. A red polycule symbol becomes visible starting from the left side of the image and going all the way to the right. The polycule symbol apears into view as though it is being painted as it goes from side to side. The polycule itself has some white strokes left over in the hearts to look like brush strokes.

Is it normal if you and your partners get into a disagreement over how they will show affection as a group, or keeping this relationship a secret?

Hey there anon! It is quite normal to get into disagreements from time to time, especially if there are a lot of partners involved, and it can be hard to figure out how to get past those disagreements. Not everyone might be comfortable with a certain level of affection or showing their relationships off.

What might be the best to do is talk about what each of your and your partners boundaries are and see if you all can start at the smallest thing to agree on in showing affection and your relationships and build it up from there. Of course it's also completely fine to sit together with all your partners and discuss how they would feel most comfortable being treated. Not everyone will always want to be treated the exact same way and that's completely fine!

~Video description below~

[Video Description: A video with a podcast playing in the background. Near the top of the video is a black box with white text which reads “check it out wherever you listen to podcasts!”In the middle of the video is a box with the logo and the podcast name. The logo of the podcast which is 6 interlocking hearts with each heart having a different color of the rainbow. Underneath the logo is the podcast name which reads “normalizing non-monogamy.” Beneath the box is the epidosde name which reads “Ep 204 - Jan.” The following can be heard in the video: “ -sure, the only thing I care about is unifying the community aroud a single flag. Do you wanna cooperate? And he said yes! And so we hopped onto discord and we chatted for a while. And we messed around with some flags, and with the infinity heart, and some other symbols, and his own symbol. And we eventually settled on using his symbol for the next set of flags that we wanted to do. Um, but through that- Those few hours of just talking and going back and forth about our designs, and doing a little research on the flags and stuff, we realized we were probably the first people to try this… to cooperate with eachother. Most other um… uh, attempts at changing the flag was just people making a flag and going “Hey! Here’s the new one. Use it!" Which I’m thankful for still, because some of my favorite flags have emerged from that! But the fact stays that if I use those almost no one will recognize it and so we just sort of started going okay what if-”

Another one of the polycule GIFS of ours!

Feel free to use this one if you’d like.

~image description below~

[Image Description: A single square GIF with a transparent background. In the middle of the GIF is the polycule symbol in pink on top of a white circle. From the left side a banner comes into view which becomes entirely visible as the fade in effect wipes all the way to the right of the image. The banner is white and has black text on it which reads “Polyamorous & Proud”. After a bit the banner fades starting at the left and wipes all the way to the right until the banner is gone again.

Polyamorous relationships are not for everyone. Monogamous relationships are not for everyone. Romantic relationships are not for everyone!!! We are all different people with different needs, maybe just stop trying to condense the human experience into a homogenous gray monolith!!! aaaaaaaa

Do you have any advice on compersion and how to get better at feeling it? Ive been feeling really left out and jealous of my partners lately (they’re both closer to eachother than i am to either of them) and it’s been really painful for me. They both know how I’m feeling but none of us really know how to deal with it.

Compersion is something that might take some time to start feeling. Not everyone feels the happiness of seeing their partners with someone else immediately when it comes to polyamorous relationships.

The best way of dealing wiht jealousy is finding out what actions exactly make you feel that way and then taking little steps to see what you can change to get rid of that feeling. Again it takes time to deal with these feelings and it might be frustrating but you can definitely learn how to deal with them.

You can find some advice about dealing with jealousy through some of Polyphilia's tiktoks for example! Here are some of them: https://www.tiktok.com/@polyphiliablog/video/6984147992152444166 https://www.tiktok.com/@polyphiliablog/video/6969509303673769221

Here is also a tiktok specifically talking about what compersion might feel like in a polyam relationship which might help: https://www.tiktok.com/@polyphiliablog/video/6992227695505526021

sharing shields and weapons with multiple romantic partners… that’s polyarmory
