I’m not from here and found it all shocking as I didn’t know it was such a huge thing! Never thought of myself as naive. But I was.

ah yes, the ranch. My wife and I have been there and plenty of mid range to very beautiful people roamed around. It only took an hour before we were both face deep in someone else’s love triangle.

I was surprised by the quantity and quality of people that were there.

Good times!

I’m sorry but that sounds genuinely gross.

I don’t have an issue with it. I just don’t understand how people have time especially if they have kids and jobs.

It's the intrigue and taboo that attracts people. Think about it - the soccer mom next door who drives an SUV is a swinger? Sounds hot to a lot of people.

1) My spouse and I do a lot of solo parenting. Which we'd do anyway.
2) I don't always have time. When my kids were very little, I didn't. I haven't met anyone new in over a year because I'm too busy and it would detract from other things in my life.
3) My relationships are just friendships with sex. So, pretty much the same way people with friends have time for that.

What’s so gross about sharing bodily fluids with a person [and their massive, incestuous spider web of sexual partners in town] you just met an hour ago? You’re just jealous.

Right. I’m obviously just jealous. Why would I not want to be “face deep” with that sort of person? It’s as much fun as licking the walls of public bathrooms!!

And the drama sounds super exciting and sophisticated.

I have been getting my thrills from drinking from public toilets. So far I haven't gotten sick. People don't realize how safe public toilets are.

Because you people keep reading about it and newspapers need to make money by getting you to click on their articles and show you ads.

I also read articles about people committing suicide, doesn't mean I think it's socially acceptable.

Yep, sounds disgusting to me. People like this have zero morals and it scares me that they parent children.

Mainstream media are dying and will cover anything, true or not, that gets people engaged. It is very much the tail wagging the dog at this point. This is why they love Trump. Rachael Maddow should send half her paycheck to him.

It seems to me that you vanilla types can’t stop talking about it, either

Ha! Who said I was vanilla? You shouldn’t presume. Heh

Oh, please. If you weren’t a Suzy Homemaker type you wouldn’t be making digs at it.

Polyamorous people can be pretty--even painfully--vanilla, notwithstanding the non-monogamy. And plenty of monogamous people are very unvanilla (whatever the opposite of vanilla is). Making digs at how painfully awkward a lot of poly people doesn't mean that PP is vanilla.

A part of the appeal of polyamory is that frumpy HR klatch types in librarian glasses can feel like they are “kinky” and “trangressive”, even when they have reduced sex and love to something as joyless as following the byzantine rules of the world’s most unpleasant board game. This is why it attracts nerds and the neurodivergent in droves.

Do you...know what "klatch" means? Because the way you have used it in this sentence is completely meaningless and inapposite.

Ok, if true, that’s like the 1% of the 1%.

Curious how these beautiful, in shape and wealthy polycules are never the authors or subjects of these salacious news articles. It would really be a Man Bites Dog tale. And yet somehow, the periodicals can only find the schoolmarms and neckbeards to feature every single time. Huh. Go figure!

It's really not, it's what you tell yourself so that you feel better about it. I run in wealthy NYC circles where poly is not uncommon, and everyone is thin, well-groomed, and attractive. Sure, in rural Tennessee the poly folk are probably not stunners, but that's more a function of the fact that in rural Tennessee most people are not stunners.

I run in wealthy circles as well and do not know a single socially normal person who is openly poly. Or anyone high ranking.
