In it's most basic form, polyfidelity is a closed group relationship. Where all the people in the triad, quad, circle, whatever you want to call it, only have relationships with those in their family group. Polyfidelity is like monogamy, but with more than two people.

This is general in it's form, I find most people when I try to explain to them what polyfi is they assume I am a swinger, or confuse it with polyamory which is quite different. Most people here may or may not get the reference to Unicorn Hunter in the group name, but it’s a term that couples use when seeking the elusive hot bi female that just sits around pining for a nice couple to sweep her off her feet lol

A lot of couples fall into the poly lifestyle quite by accident. The most common thing that happens from past experiences myself and what others have shared is it normally starts out with a friend on the female side that develops into a wild night and then tries to make it work (stories vary). But most times fails, because like any relationship dynamics one needs tools to make it work and of course there are not a lot of things out there targeted towards just polyfi. You WILL find a lot on swinging and polyamory etc but a lot of times, people really get tired of the drama and titles (secondary, primary etc) and want to have a stable relationship where everyone’s needs are being met. So, I figured, starting a group like this, we can all share what we have learned, good and bad and maybe make it easier for people to make polyfi work for them and teach new people that’s it’s OK to live their lives like they want and that there are others just like them :)

    I know exactly what you mean by unicorn hunting, my husband and i are currently tracking down the elusive beasts, we did find one, but she has a boyfriend at present, just waiting for him to screw up, at the end of the day for bi females like myself there is no way that a monogamous relationship would work, i have to have both, im greedy. x
