offensive comments on polyamorous culture will be removed! Xx you can just say it's not your thing to have 1+ partners without justifying it. js
cheaters as in relationship cheaters.
lastly, by energy i mean going on dates, taking couple pictures, making memories, having sex, planning stuff etc
and yes, people in group relationships can also answer
Dating energy is easy. Everything is new and exciting. With everything being new, you can be more spontaneous..
It only becomes more complex if the dates become serious. Rare that Polies start between all partners at the same time. There is usually an established relationship with original couple. What will make it really interesting if one of the partners keeps outside flings outside the poly relationship itself. I have seen some of these relationships, and sometimes members are with other poly relationships in the extreme. In the old days we would just call that a free-for all.
As for cheaters, it depends how the find themselves in that relationship. Many tend to be from dead marriages where sex is non-existent. These people might just like the dedicated release. But there are also those guys who don't like to settle, even if they have. Just as there some women who are forever shoppers for the next best mate.
Personally I know how hard it is dealing with one partner. When you share, you can't live to the full potential of that one person in all ways, because you are between multiple people. Some are good at it, and don't mind.
I'm not really a relationship person over all (i prefere to have distance between me and others most of the time). As far as i'm aware a lot of poly couples handle it kind of like a job. They often plan who goes out with who and when. And about the energy thing it is simply something that differs from person to person. Some people have so much energy that they need more partners and some people don't need any partners
i'm single by the way and i have no clue but i think cheaters have it harder because they'd have to actually HIDE an entire affair whilst polyamorous people are ALL in the relationship so it's equal - but relationships themselves just seem like so much effort when you have another person/other people with their expectations and needs etc, don't know how people do it, especially when one's needy if that makes sense?
I've seen a lot of poly couples setting up dates and schedules for the time they spent eachother (I'm going on a date with her tonight but we can go out on Friday if you like, etc). They also have to discuss about everything so there's no drama later on which I imagine that's the most tiring part lol.

I'm in poly relationships with two women. We live life like everyone else, not really that different. In our case, our relationships do not cross over so we respect those boundaries and it helps that we all are very good friends.
Like any relationship, these take emotional investment, time and energy to nurture them. Again no different than a monogamous relationship in my opinion.
They tend to be either wealthy and have lots of free time (this could include drug dealers), or they are poor and have lots of free time. Not much in the middle.
They tend to be high energy, high sex drive people anyway, and they tend not to have many hobbies outside their lifestyle. It consumes most or all of their free time.
Simple law of physics... conservation of energy. Having inter-relations and sex with the same person 10 times in one week, or having inter-relations and sex with 3 different people 10 times in one week, takes the same amount of energy.
There’s one main relationship and then the side relationships fill in gaps. I have the energy because the relationships require different emotional investment
Humans have a high capacity for love, all one needs to do is utilize it. Its not hard.
The same way you manage to hang out with more than one friend or family member.
Date more. Date each person less. Date them at the same time. I was dating Shayna with a long-distance between each other on the telephone once a week. If I was dating another person, I could date them on other days. Furthermore, how can I date and still hang out with comrades? Same goes for polyamory!
I have a few friends in polyamorous or open relationships, and they seem to handle it just fine. The key seems to be open communication.
Very good question. I wondered that myself. It was easy for some to cheat cause they didn't have a job. So when one was away, the other played. That's about all I know.
Well obviously it needs a lot of work. If someone has a high libido, i think they can pull that off lol.
Nothing wrong with group sex or relationships
I suspect they get and retain an adrenaline rush or thrill doing things out of the norm, like cheating or have multi partners. That adrenaline rush or thrill drives them.
The thing about having multiple women is that they do all the work as they are competing for your attention
I honestly have no clue, having one relationship can be so time consuming and soul consuming and everything
they give very little to all connections, just enough to get by and get what they want
We dont. Thats why i dumped both of my side chicks
Great question! I’d love the extra sex part and the 100 children, but I’d run out of time and ability to make it a meaningful relationship with all of the participants… 😢😢
They may get away with it for a while but sooner or later they always end up the same.
Truth is is that they don't and they all live in a delusion
The energy is the thrill of the scandal. The mental is strong when it comes to that..
