Monogamish relationships are neither fully monogamous nor fully non-monogamous. The way it works is that, occasionally, the partners open the relationship up to another person, or multiple people. This is often a way of meeting sexual needs rather than for establishing an emotional connection with others.

This makes securely attached people more likely to feel emotionally secure and satisfied in their intimate relationships. They’re comfortable being in a couple, but also secure enough to be by themselves.

Heteroromantic - Someone who is romantically attracted to the opposite gender.

Bisexual - Someone who is attracted to two or more genders.

Bigender - Someone who is two or more genders.

Monogamish - A couple that is in a committed partnership that is socially pair-bonded but has an agreement that partners can engage in some level of outside sexual/romantic/alterous activity.

Regressor - Someone who regresses to a different headspace/state of mind.

A wonderful article from Sarah expressing how your polyamory journey doesn't have to end where you thought it would and how it will give you the knowledge and emotional awareness to recognise what works best for you and your partner.

🚨📰 NCSF Media Update

“‘Monogamish is a term that describes a relationship where the primary relationship structure is monogamy, but with some allowance for sexual activity outside the relationship under mutually agreed-upon circumstances,’ says sex therapist Shadeen Francis. ‘You can think about it as a monogamous relationship that has more negotiated flexibility.’”

Downfall...

Being “monogamish” (i.e., when a couple is emotionally intimate only with each other yet engages in sexual infidelities or group sexual activity) has long been considered acceptable, even normative, within homosexual communities. As our nation embraces the acceptance of same-sex marriage, the idea that fidelity isn’t required within marriage has also been increasingly accepted. ~ Joe Carter

This. Entirely this.

Whether monogamous or nonmonogamous, everyone must write their own scripts. It's presuming a default that wrecks them all.

My husband & I are headed to the Caesar's Palace Las Vegas this weekend. My casino host invited us to a private gambling event. You earn entries based on casino play then prizes are awarded at a fancy vip dinner. A couple people will even get a million bucks in a mystery box prize. Hopefully us. About lifestyle activities... we have many active messages with couples but only one confirmed drink date so far. Our group chat with this couple has some very great flirty momentum. The vibe is good & the recent talk is about us inviting them up to the room to "check out the view." I guess we'll see what's in store for us. It's bound to be an amazing weekend because Vegas never disappoints. ➡️ Four years ago my husband & I decided to become SWINGERS! We now host a podcast about our fun adventures. My name is Isis my husband is Eros & our show is "The Priory Society." If you are curious about how we have casual fun with other couples... the link to the podcast is in our bio. . . #Podcasters #SwingerPodcast #OpenMarriage #Polyamory #Poly #Swinging #NonMonogamy #SwingersPodcast #Monogamish #PodcastersOfInstagram #YoungSwingers (at Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeB3feWpAm8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I mean, I can't just sell him to you

There should be more commentary in the poly world that sometimes you can do all the work to unravel mononormativity and you can work on your insecurities and you can learn to deal with jealousy and you can do the /work/ and sometimes at the end of it, you just aren't poly and that's okay too.

From now on whenever any man says something that goes against all logic or reasoning by means of flirting, I'm sending them back a screenshot and 5 simple words: I'm telling your legal guardian. Because there's no way they should've been left unsupervised, there's just no way someone cleared them for departure
