r/polyamory

They may have been leading you on, like teens did with lurid descriptions of 'rainbow parties'. (A rainbow party is where girls arrive each wearing a different shade of lipstick and suck a bunch of guys dicks, ending up with a 'rainbow' shade, from smearing off and on the guys dick. Such an event has never been proven to have occured) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_party_(sexuality)
Thank god. I was like "THIS is what teens do for fun now? smh"

On the other hand who the hell is making up this stuff?

I used to be kind of optimistic about polyamory (I have less than zero interest in getting involved in that) but after this I'm convinced that there's like a less than 1% chance of it working out. And that's only if everyone is gay.
 
Anyone think that an exclusive relationship between three people who all have the right orientations could possibly work?
Maybe? The issue is that people that actively think about that kind of thing tend to have nasty emotional issues that preclude having a stable, normal relationship, as this thread makes very clear.

I really want to believe it's just an urban legend just for my own sanity but also I wouldn't be surprised if bug chasing was the new trend among teens. I used to know some fucked up people back in school who did a lot of drugs, fucked a lot of our peers, fucked teachers, other unrelated much older adults and so on. I could totally see those people doing this russian roulette orgy I described, that's why I didn't even doubt my friends. Though it does sound A LOT like that rainbow party thing, so it may be just some new horror story
thinking of my old classmates I could totally see them being poly now, too. too bad I'm not in contact with them anymore

but yeah teens are stupid they'll imitate everything adults do even though they're not mature enough to participate and can't comprehend it yet, gendershit, sjwism or the equivalents on the other extreme. they'll do anything to be cool and counter culture so I wouldn't be surprised if poly (and sharing STDs) became the next big trendy thing among youth

the problem would be that once you did it, everyone would have the STDs and thus you could only do it once

Man, if your spouse goes to med school (with apparently zero family and job distractions) and then fails multiple classes the second year, that itself is a giant fucking red flag shit is fucked. I would have been insistent on answers and therapy right then. Kids and teens fail because they don't want to be there and it's "free" to them. Grown adults don't take out huge student loans and then oops get too busy to study. That's mental instability going wild.

this is my takeaway too. Technically poly relationships could maybe work on paper but those who seek out abnormal non-monogamous relationships are inherently mentally unhealthy and unstable.

well no, that's not how infection works. if you fuck someone with a STD there's a risk of getting infected but it's not guaranteed. same as you don't get sick everytime someone sneezes at you. that's the entire point of bug chasing, they seek the risk and thrill of maybe getting infected, but probably don't actually want to live with a STD like AIDS.

heteros usually have lower rates of STD transmission, at least when it comes to HIV and HPV, because the virus has to enter your blood stream through micro tearing, which can happen when you do it rough, aren't lubed up enough and so on. well assholes don't lubricate on their own and aren't as stretchy as vaginas, so they tear much easier. HIV infection rates for women also rise drastically where FGM is practised, due to the effects it has on sex, it's also higher for men who aren't circumcised because foreskin is also prone to micro tearing.

but yeah back on topic. do you guys think that it's usually the most jealous kinds of people who cheat or want to open a relationship? I kinda got the impression and I think it's due to projection, they assume their partner is just as horny and disloyal as they are so they see a threat in every person their S/O interacts with, just because they'd like to shag basically everyone they interact with

as a survivor of an abusive poly amourous relationship, i can safetly say that this is NOT something you want to be with. When my boyfriend started seeing his "side ho" as he called her he neglected me physically and mentally, culminating in me getting kicked out of his flat and losing my laptop and $20 worth of subway gift cards at his place. I regret opening up our relationship for him to take advantage of.

And by “boyfriend,” you mean pimp, right?

Old people, mostly.

Really sexual generacy is more of a Where You Live than How Old Are You thing. Living in a small but decent town I can tell you most of them didn't have relationships that didn't last around one year at least, even if it's the first one. They value their 'first time' and even their first kisses, both girls and boys. I imagine in trash big cities teens who just fuck around are much more prominent, but cautious teens do exist and always will be.
 
I think that most of these kinds of people are pathological narcissists. They don't want to feel tied down or not in control. They're incapable of real intimacy and need constant attention. Monogamous partners are manipulated into thinking polyamory is normal. Narcissists think that they're above everyone else and can't be considered an average or common person. Think Alison Rapp. This guy nails it:
