from asubmissives-
journey.com tells us
why he has taken
up polyamory as his
chosen lifestyle...
As an explanation to you why my girls
and I have chosen a polyamorous life,
I was tempted to be glib. I often define
Polyamory to individuals as coming
from the root words polyester and
amour thereby explaining its meaning
as a “shield against cheap uncomfort-
able material”. However, I will be more
forthcoming with my explanations for
this article.
My girls and I live 24/7 as master/slave
and now I have two girls. I have been in
poly relationships on and off for nearly
20 years. When it works, it works
beautifully. When it doesn’t work it is
a disaster. There is no ‘middle-of-the-
road’ in a poly relationship no matter
how many people are involved. Trouble
with one individual in the ‘family’ rip-
ples like a stone thrown in a pool.
As calm as the water may be before the
stone is thrown, the aftermath ripples
seemingly endlessly.
The art of
Polyamory
Why would anyone choose to live in a
situation that could shatter before his
or her eyes with one misstep? The same
reason monogamous couples marry
everyday. They have faith they can beat
the odds. Statistics are stacked against
them long before they make the trip
down the aisle, yet they go anyway.
They go because they believe they will
be different, that their love will last a
lifetime. I believe that no one on this
earth can be everything to another
individual. I believe that we achieve
the ultimate balance in our diversity. I
believe you can give your heart to more
than one. It is in giving yourself that
you grow to be more than you are.
Before I wander too deep into my
philosophies I will address how I have
refined Polyamory into my life in a
way that works for me. Today, I have
two girls. There is no pecking order in
my house. Each girl brings all of her
strengths and all of her weaknesses
into this house. Both girls are equally
devoted to me. The difference is not in
their commitment but in their ways of
showing their commitment.
Den came to me first. She is a creature
that lives on pure emotion. She would
do anything in her power to make
my life easier. She would ultimately
sacrifice herself to that end if I would
allow it. Spirit has been with me a year
now. Spirit is outspoken, logical and
practical. She also would do anything
in her power at anytime to make my
life easier. Yes, she would also sacrifice
herself to that end if I would allow it.
As you can see, my girls are the same
while also being as different as night
and day. They love and respect each
other because of their sameness and
because of their differences. I love each
of them for everything they are togeth-
er and apart from each other. It makes
a perfect circle in our lives.
