The Hook Up · Beginner's guide to polyamory · 29 Apr 2019 podcast

I mean, looking back on my own life, like I look back on my journals from when I was a kid and I would like list five different crushes on people at the same time and be like, well, I like Giancarlo and Jane and Brian and Jahan.

And Jahan likes Jane, so I'm gonna like try to see if they'll get together and maybe if it doesn't work out with them, like one of them will like me.

And um yeah, that was so that for me it feels very much like an orientation, but I also know for a lot of people it's

just it's a just a relationship option and they're like, Okay, well this is working for me now and it's not working for me.

Okay, well this is working.

Later and whatever, and that's fine too.

Yeah,

you feel the same way?

I think a s a lot of times people think that it will solve problems to open up their relationship and to not

own.

Like polyamory is relationships on hard mode because you don't just have one, you have two or three or yeah, it blows up very quickly.

So like fixing that relationship and making that really secure before going into opening it up will be will yeah, just smooth things over so much.

Like being able to know when uh when your schedule is free, when your partner's schedule is free, when your other partner's schedule is free, having every being able to c see in visual form when people are available is super important.

And and setting out time for yourself outside of dating other people.

Like for me it's been really important to just kind of go, Okay, well, you know what?

This Thursday I am not seeing anyone because I really need my own time.

But I'm also kinda solo poly relationship anarchist, so that's that's important for What's that?

Ah.

Uh okay.

So solo poly, um an you take this you're raising your hand.
