How old were you when you realized there was something more than Monogamy?

    I suppose when I first learned there was something more than monogamy was probably when I first started reading Penthous Forums when I was about 11 years old.

    When did I realize that I could lead a non-monogamous lifestyle.... it was more like around the time I divorced my ex-wife when I turned 30.

    When did I meet someone to share and explore with me the possibilities..... Last year... my 35th year.

        I somewhat peripherally realized it when I was around 13 and my mom told me my neighbors were swingers. When I asked what that meant, she explained that they love each other but have sex with other people some times. The first time I ever thought it could apply to me was when I was in an unhappy relationship a few years ago and a friend suggested we have an Open relationship. Since meeting my current partner, non monogamy has become a reality and its difficult at times but certainly worth it.
