Stepping outside of Reddit for a moment, this has been popping up on my twitter feed a lot today.

A polyamorous woman has fallen pregnant by one of her four partners after they went away together - but says they will raise the baby as a 'family'.

Tory Ojeda, 20, from Jacksonville, Florida, met one of her partners Marc, 18, in high school and then started a relationship with Travis, 23, two months later.

Their love story began three years ago and she has since announced her engagement to Travis in July.

She also found love with their long-term mutual friends Ethan, 22, and Christopher, 22. While seven months ago, Tory and Chris found out that they were pregnant with a baby girl.

Despite being in an open relationship, Tory is currently the only one who has multiple romantic partners.

However she says that her boyfriends are 'welcome' to pursue other people if they wish to - she even encourages the idea. Tory said: 'Honestly, I would love it if somebody found a second partner.

'Dividing time and figuring out schedules between all five people and making sure everyone feels included, it's kind of difficult.

'I'd like to not be the only woman in the relationship. That would definitely be nice.'

They all have their own bedrooms but her partners 'swap in and out' of her bed each night, making sure each of them gets an 'equal turn' in spending the night with Tory.

On the issue of jealousy, Ethan said: 'There are a couple of healthy ways to deal with it. Primarily just talking to each other.'

Travis added: 'There's always going to be like little moments of jealousy, it does take a certain amount of restraint and just getting relaxed. I will say it helps if you know the person.'

Reflecting on his own experiences in his current relationship, he said: 'Seeing [Tory] with Ethan was a lot easier because I was friends with him.

'Her and Chris was a bit dicier at first, there was a lot more jealousy and I'll openly admit that. The same goes for Marc because I'd never interacted with them.'

Seven months ago, Tory found out that she was pregnant with a baby girl who they will welcome into their unconventional family in February.


'Chris is the biological father. We just know that because of timing and when the approximate conception date was,' Tory explained.

'Based off of the approximate conception day, we had been on vacation. So it was only us.

'But as far as I guess, socially goes, we're all raising the baby together, so everyone's dad.

'We're all very, very excited to be raising a baby together.'

When asked how he feels about sharing the responsibilities of being a father, Christopher said: 'It's definitely a little interesting.

'I grew up with the idea of you know, one dad, one mum. But there is a lot of support between all of us dads and it's something we can tag team.

'We always joke about the idea of getting stack in an endless loop of go ask your dad.'

Despite their enthusiasm to raise a child as a five, some members of their respective families are yet to come around to their relationship and to the pregnancy news.

Tory said: 'Most of my friends know all my partners and they love us and think that we're cute and such. My family is kind of quiet about their disapproval. Polyamory is definitely an uncommon thing.

'A lot of people have grown up in monogamy culture of, you don't really love someone if you have eyes for somebody else.'

Christopher added: 'My family is slowly coming around to the idea. The pregnancy has helped with that. But at the very beginning, I know my mother and father were hesitant about it.

'Her main concern was that she didn't like the idea of me having a partner who was not fulfilled with me alone.'

However Ethan's family are 'very active' in their support, along with Tory's older brother, Alistair.

Alistair said: 'I will admit that since I'm her older brother, that I just have that tendency I suppose to be protective.

'I'm more so concerned that she's happy, that she is in a relationship where they both love each other mutually or in this case more people love each other mutually.

'I don't see anything wrong with Tory's relationship.'

After having to overcome judgement in public spaces, Tory hopes that she will eventually see more acceptance of polyamory in wider society. 'We definitely get weird looks,' she said.

'I've had people just say rude comments when we've just been hanging out at a fast food place. I've been called a hoe more than once.

'Maybe in our future, we might see it become a common thing where people don't bat an eye on it anymore at all. One can hope.'

But for now, they are focused on their relationship and their future as a five. We would definitely like to have more kids down the line.

'With there being five adults in the household, we should probably have more than one kid.'

There's also an 8-minute video embedded in the article that's really worth watching if you want some insight in what sort of people are interested in polyamory and how they justify it.

I will say, after reading that article, that "polyamorous relationship" has a much better ring to it than "permanent gangbang" in this scenario.

What a horrible environment for the child, though.

At least that's 4 fewer unfuckable men and one fewer unfuckable woman in the dating pool for sane people. How the hell all of these people are younger than me yet look like they're nearly a decade older is beyond me.

This makes me incredibly, sincerely angry.

Right? One of her soytellites is literally half my age and somehow looks twice it. More proof of the benefits of testosterone, exercise, moisturizer, and having some fucking standards.

So...which one is the ugliest?

It's a tough call. Star Wars guy is a strong contender, but that unshaven blob on the couch may just beat him for the prize.

Really loved how they panned over the DnD books and the Catan box for a couple of seconds.. just perfect

Redhead guy isn't too bad, probably the best looking of them, but he should do away with the neckbeard. Probably is only average looking, but looks better by comparison. 5/10, 6 if I'm feeling generous.

Spare Wars? Stare Wars? Sfare wars? Shirt guy is setting my HFAdar off so bad. There's something about the hair, beard , body shape and round glasses that just screams ween. 3/10

The girl is not going to be a girl for very long. Troon out imminent in the next year or two. The fact this even made it to the news just shows that if she's any kind of whore, it's an attention whore. 3/10

Guy sitting to her left looks twice his age. He's probably at peace with the situation as he knows the options he does have, if any, aren't much better than this, and he looks like he shoots up to deal with the reality that this is probably the best he's getting. His teeth are extremely fucked up, and that hairline is receding so fast glaciers under global warming look like they're refreezing. 2/10

Guy to the right of her needs accutane and Jenny Craig, and even then the best he can hope for is average. Probably bathes once a year. 3/10

I know why, you know why, we all know why.
Where'd that post go where someone in the poly subreddit was asking if "board games" was code for something because all the poly people had it in their profiles?

small PL but i work part time at a restaurant and there's a couple that occasionally comes in. their shared hobby is board games.. probably going to feel a little different the next time they come in..

Turns out Bill Hicks only died on the inside.

Redhead guy isn't too bad, probably the best looking of them, but he should do away with the neckbeard. Probably is only average looking, but looks better by comparison. 5/10, 6 if I'm feeling generous.

That's apparently the actual babydaddy. But she's going to marry the one that looks like a sex offender.

EDIT: LMFAO! Sorry, watching the video now, apparently the dad is also the guy who wins at board games.

EDIT: The sex offender-looking one is open to doing the other guys, but he's not going to be the one that brings it up.

EDIT: BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! How do they know Chris (redhead) is the father? "Timing". So when they say "we all (five) went away for awhile and came back pregnant," they apparently mean only one of the guys got any vacation sex.

EDIT:

The girl is not going to be a girl for very long. Troon out imminent in the next year or two. The fact this even made it to the news just shows that if she's any kind of whore, it's an attention whore. 3/10

In the video, they interview her "brother" who is a very obvious FTM.

well, atleast she recognised that she needed to give the kid the chaddest of these mooks genes

When the chad is that ginger faggot, just abort the goddamn thing already.

He looks like the kind of guy that would stick his dick in anything.

Tell me that's not the face of a man that would end up in the news for fucking a tree in a kids park.
