For as long as I can remember I have been considered a “Hopeless romantic”. I jumped from one long-term relationship to another with short bursts of lust in-between. I never cheated on my partners, and I never lied either. Oddly enough this continued to be problematic in my relationships!

Something never quite felt right to me. Why is it I still get interests or crushes on others no matter how head-over-heels IN LOVE I am with my girlfriend? If sharing love with one person feels great, what would it feel like sharing love with more than one person? Are we truly that controlled by jealousy and other insecurities that we can’t go to the depths of our emotions with more than one person?

Everywhere I looked society was telling me the “right” way to experience deep intimate connections. That “right way” is with intense jealous and controlling passion. Is our society really that isolated and closed-minded?

I constantly challenged every societal norm I ever clashed with, so why “go with the flow” if my heart constantly feels restricted?

Needless to say over seven years ago I found out thousands of individuals in the U.S. share my prospective. Not only that, but Monogamy (lifelong commitments between two individuals) is actually a rarity when you consider the rest of the world and bonding patterns of other species.

How many others feel this way but don’t have access to these resources? How many people are in my town and could benefit from hearing similar prospectives from others like them? Where do I go to get help from others like me?

Well it is time to find out!
