Black & Poly

Join the Black&Poly community in celebrating our New Version of "Ask Orpheus Black" Feature, where he answers questions regarding ***Everything You Wanted to Know About Polyamory*** Todays Question was from Sandra Bswangin Webster, where she asks; Orpheus, "...are there hard and fast rules to being polyamorous? As the ‘third’ in our triad, my boyfriend and his wife have ‘rules'; however, I came in with no expectations. Should I make rules, follow rules, or let the triad develop on its on? (BDSM is not a part of our lives)"

Three more Black&Poly locations set to launch this December 5th! http://bit.ly/1uXefb5  http://bit.ly/1GIYTtU  http://bit.ly/1ug3PRA .

The discussion from both sides of the 'Poly Triad' coin continues. B&P's Evita Lavitaloca Sawyers and Marcella Lyles share their views on couples, their pains, and their privileges as well. Enjoy!

So thankful to be a part of a community such as this one!

Black & Poly's very own Orpheus Black focuses us on the importance of community as we near the Black and Poly 1st year anniversary. How important is community to you as a poly person?

"Unicorn Hunter" is often pejoratively applied to couples. "Unicorn" is considered, by many, to be an equally offensive word because it, supposedly, describes the single woman who is subjected to the oppressive desires of a power privileged couple. Is the rising trend of single bisexual women self-describing themselves as Unicorns cause for alarm? Do real Unicorns exist? Is the relationship between the Unicorn and Unicorn Hunter really one of dominance and submission?

Polyamory

Polyamorous Relationships Are About More Than Just Couples -

Our own, Lisa Young, breaks off a piece of her mind for the folk who would attempt to shame poly folk into conforming with a monogamous mindset. How do you handle it when people gossip, are critical, or attack you for being polyamorous? Do you have a source of support, inspiration, or strength to rely upon….or do you feel isolated, lonely, and victimized? Whats your story?

A passionate heartfelt fantasy of what it might be like when a Christian family accepts a woman's loving partners as her best choice. Its an experience Im sure most of us will identify with.

Nice article written by Black & Poly's very own Cmaurice Love. In polyamory our breakups are called "transitions" and are statistically less violent and more loving than our monogamous counterparts. If you've had to deal with a tough breakup or transition there's a lot to be gleaned from this article whether you're Poly or not. Enjoy!
