alternative monogamists

public - created 12/28/05
Do you run in "alternative scenes" and "lifestyles" where it FEELS polyamory and other forms of open relationships are the default, but you find yourself to be monogamous or with strong leanings towards monogamy? It can often feel like you are the only monogamous person you know. Or, even worse, the few monogamous people you do know of are outside of your social circles/"scenes", VERY conservative and mainstream, with no other common interests or bonds.

You are NOT alone, even though it can feel like it an awful lot! This is a tribe for us to share thoughts, explore feelings, and support one another.

DISCLAIMER: This is nothing against the poly/open relationship/swinger/etc lifestyles. We have just not found ourselves to be wired that way (at least not at this time in our lives). Trust me, a lot of us have tried! And when folks try to be something they are not, it makes EVERYONE miserable.

DISCLAIMER 2- This is a discussion tribe, not a pick-up joint. Please put anything of a "personal ad" feel in the listings only. Thanks!
