The Rules/Foundations of Poly

Wellllll,, you have to see it. and when you do, I'd love to chat about it... I started a thread in chit chat,,, in the fireplace forum on it, but no bites.
 
I love this thread!

I thought I would add more to is as it's so juicy and ripe, it needed more juice.

On the FB group I belong to we have been talking about the foundations of poly and this is what has come up so far. Admittedly, most of it from me... :eek:

I am adding the building blocks now that the foundation is underway... I will add that in another post.

here it is.

Poly Foundations - Thoughts?

Integrity
  • * Self-knowledge
  • * Acting consistently so that others might trust your intention and way of being.
  • * Confirming to others that your values, morals and ethics are not going to change, but that you are flexible within them.

Respect
  • * Self respect
  • * Respect for others
  • * Not making assumptions about who others are but finding out and cherishing that

Communication
  • * Honesty
  • * True desire to share
  • * Checking in with others
  • * Asking for what one needs and giving to others what they need
  • * Checking in on what a persons personal description and definition is for themselves on poly and poly related topics and issues.
  • * Active listening

Empathy
  • * Intuition
  • * Being compassionate with other peoples feelings
  • * Meeting people where they are at with no expectations
  • * Trust your gut not rationalizations
  • * Separating ego from a relationship with another long enough to allow ourselves to really feel what it might be like to be in their shoes.
 
an unfinished list in progress.

Poly Building Blocks
  • * humility
  • * practicing good poly ethics in terms of these points
  • * keeping emotions/opinions in check
  • * apologizing and explaining oneself
  • * being authentic in terms of courageous, vulnerable, and grateful
  • *being aware that you and/or others are immersed in NRE, having patience with that
  • *compersion
  • *negotiating boundaries so there are no compromises or rules made for or by others involved...
  • * faith and trust that what is meant to happen will happen, and it will happen no matter how much you try to control things
  • * realism and grounding.
 
For people who are curious about how poly works or want to try poly, I find it useful to give just a few general advices to avoid overwhelming them (then later you can direct them to more detailed articles if needed). So I was thinking, if I had to sum everything up in three points, how would I do it?
Here is what I came up with:

1) The basic rules of monogamous relationships apply (communication, respect, no going being each other's back, etc)

2) Treat each partner as their own person, each relationship as its own relationship. Be wary of treating them "the same" out of fairness, they are different people and most likely want and need to be treated in a unique way.

3) Communicate even more than for a monogamous relationship, sometimes one on one, sometimes with everyone involved depending on the situation. Make sure you have the same goals and know everyone's boundaries. In monogamous relationships many things are just assumed, which is bad for monogamous relationships too but has the potential to really backfire in poly ones. So make sure to know where everyone stands.

If YOU had to sum up everything in three bullet points, what would they be?
 
Well put tonberry. Poignant with something in my life right now, all 3 points are completely valid in virtuall every relationship.

What would I do? Copy and paste what you just wrote hahaha

Cheers
 
Good stuff from Tonberry & RP

I'd also add to any list the need for understanding the difference AND roles between sex & love.
They are NOT the same, have varying degrees of importance for different people, and are often a source of confusion and drama.
Understand that they CAN go together but are not required to for each to be beneficial to the other.

did I not already sum up :p.... with many bullet points?

I like this too RP..what is the name of the FB group? Me and my bf would both be interested in taking a look :)

It's a secret group for all the people I have met here and that are in my community here. At least that is where it started. Anyone can invite like minded people.

There is no way of adding people I am not friends with unfortunately, but I would gladly be your friends though :D

The group talks about poly everything... anything that we want to talk about. It has a chat option that is optional and can be useful for having more automatic chats. It is more personal than here really as we know each others names and some access to each others lives that go beyond here.

My personal variety

For people who are curious about how poly works or want to try poly, I find it useful to give just a few general advices to avoid overwhelming them (then later you can direct them to more detailed articles if needed).

I think these are important!

For my own list, I would not refer to mono "rules" for poly, as poly seems to me to cover a strictly larger field. I also don't think having the same goals is mandatory, in my experience it is more about making the goals compatible.

My personal variety could then be

1. Treat the relationships, including that to myself, like children, in care and love growing up to be free.

2. Focus on the unique qualities and potentials in each relationship - again including that to myself.

3. "Real poly" above parallel monogamy. Take responsibility, as far as necessary and possible, for the whole situation, including the different goals of the participants, not ignoring the development of my own, always trying to be as inclusive as possible.
 
Thought on Polyamory from a Currently Mono Guy

I'll throw out my 2 cents about polyamory, though I am currently not in a poly relationship, and am mono with my wife. We had tried poly for a short time, then put it on hold (possibly indefinitely) until we gained an understanding of the issues that arose.

My Beliefs on *Any* Relationship, Poly or Mono

In my opinion, there are three commandments of any relationship that are critical to it's health. A tripod if you will, that when any of it's legs are kicked out, the whole relationship is in danger:

  1. Trust - There must be an unwavering, absolute trust. Outside of hiding what a gift you bought might be for a loved one, other secrets and things "left unsaid" are seeds of deception that will grow into full blows meltdowns. Trust like this may not feel natural for some, may be hurtful at times, but is very freeing when fully embraced.
  2. Communication - Communicating how you feel about your relationship often, and in depth, is critical. When communication breaks down, little problems become enormous, pain amplifies, and lovers become estranged. Like trust, it may not always be comfortable or nice, but communication is something a healthy couple should demand of themselves.
  3. Commitment - Commitment to the health of the relationship and the happiness of your lover is also critical. I have often said that if it feels like you are bending further, working harder, and contributing more than your partner, you are likely doing just enough. Seeking perfect balance is a fairy tale. Relationships are work, and those that work at it receive wonderful relationships.

To Poly or Not to Poly

This question is similar, to me, to the questions people ask about getting married or having kids. A pitfall I have seen throughout my life is that people tend to think that the best way to fix problems in their relationships are to shake them up violently with something new, like marriage, kids, or polyamory.

To me, that seems counter intuitive. If marriage, kids, and polyamory all add additional challenges, and will not fix problems in a relationship, only make them harder to focus on.

The time to consider these types of changes is when the existing relationship(s) are strong, healthy, and ascribe to the three commandments in the previous section.

This is not to be a naysayer on the idea of polyamory of these other things, quite the contrary. If they are approached in a healthy manner, each can bring great rewards, and a richer life.

Rules and Regulations

It may seem unromantic, or business-like to clearly define and codify rules and boundaries into contract form, but it's absolutely critical IMHO.

The thing is, monogamous marriage as most of society understands it is a heavily documented, aggressively indoctrinated relationship structure with enormous amounts of material devoted to the ins and outs of how it is supposed to work, what is or is not acceptable, and what is expected of all parties. Most of us grow up to be taught all of our lives about the virtues and righteousness of mono marriage as an institution (though we also become subjected to how it frequently meets with abject failure).

Polyamory has no such advantage. In our society you may a well be trying to leave a cult without the benefit of a deprogramming specialist or ready support structure. it is the less taken path.

To add complexity to that, there are more flavors of polyamory than ice cream selections at a 31 flavors parlor.

Negotiation of the rules and formal codification of them, with the understanding that they may be amended if all are comfortable and agree, or to protect the core relationship(s) is a must. If anything it will bring out of hiding many concerns or issues that polyamory brings to the table. Things like STD testing, resource allocation, scheduling and boundaries are essential to preplanning, and are potentially devastating if left hidden or unexplored.

My Personal Boundaries - To You It May Not Apply

Some of the things that my wife and I has worked out prior to exploring polyamory are as follows.

We felt that any new partner brought in should also be one that was at a minimum a compatible match for friendship for all partners involved. As an example, it would be critical for me to know and gain some comfort and trust with a new partner my wife might introduce for me to satisfy my protective instincts. The idea that both of us should be comfortable going out with a new partner to have dinner, or go bowling, for instance, should not be a foreign one.

We felt that any new partner should be honest with any other partners they had about dating one of us. Neither of us would want to be a dirty little secret, but more importantly that type of behavior and willingness to betray a loved one would be incompatible with the types of relationships we were seeking to form.

We also felt that if there was a hint of the new partner seeking to cause damage to our core relationship (leave him/her for me), or undermine our relationship in any way, or if one of us felt that the new partner was a threat, that each of us had the obligation to pause or stop dating that person unless those issues were resolved to both of our satisfaction.

In Conclusion

I feel that polyamory is a fantastic way to grow and enrich the lives of a couple, and that for many, if not most people, it's a more natural fit than the typical monogamous relationship.

I feel it's a harsh construct to demand that a couple guarantee to each other that if one should die or become incapacitated, that they are left without other loving partners to help and support them in times of need. Some have said to me that other family members, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and such, could fill such a role. I would argue that if that type of responsibility was expected, then why would we also not want said family to pay for our life insurance or similar things. I personally would feel more at ease if I were to know that should I die first, my wife would not be left romantically alone, and be forced to start from scratch.

I could go on forever. Instead, I'll stop mow before this post gets any longer!

I completely concur with your whole post, but these two parts I felt well worth repeating. We have the same "triad" of necessities belief.
And
we have the same 3 boundaries. There are other boundaries, but those three are KEY.
;)
 
Thank You

Thanks for the validation. Although not actively poly, I'd thought for years about what would make poly workable for us. Good to know that those thoughts made sense!

THE 12 PILLARS OF POLYAMORY
Kenneth R. Haslam MD
May 15, 2008

Note: The following is adapted from a lecture given to Polyamorous NYC on 19 March 2008

Feel free to copy and distribute this material, but please copy it in its entirety and include my name. I am responsible for my own ideas and mistakes and will always welcome comment and criticism. I reserve the right to publish these comments elsewhere. KH

Love withers under constraint; its very essence is liberty. It is compatible neither with obedience, jealousy nor fear. It is there most pure, perfect, and unlimited when its votaries live in confidence, equality and unreserve.

Percy Byshe Shelley




The road to Polyamory Utopia is long and twisting. There are many learning curves and it is dotted with potholes and littered with road kill. The rewards are great on arrival but there is a price to pay. You have to learn how to negotiate this road and unfortunately our parents, peers, teachers, and clerics have not been too helpful in guiding us along the way
But we are learning Brad Blanton, the author of Radical Honesty, in a keynote address at a Loving More conference several years ago said, “You guys are the research and development arm of society”. And as researchers we will make mistakes .

But we also learn as we make mistakes. In observing the Poly community over the past 10 years it has become apparent to me that there are some basic principles, I call them Pillars, that everyone must understand and internalize to be able to successfully negotiate the road to Polyamory.



THE 12 PILLARS OF POLYAMORY

I. AUTHENTICITY

You must know yourself and be comfortable being you. You need to know without question the differences between your love needs and wants. Do you know your languages of love and which of them apply to you? (words of affirmation, touch, quality time, gifts, acts of service) Do you know and accept your sexuality – kinks and all? Are you genuine with yourself and are you comfortable sharing yourself as you really are with others? Can you be the person you really are? And if you are unsure, can you admit this to others? A good grasp of your sense of self is mandatory.

Polyamory is about VARIETY. I firmly believe that included in our authenticity is an honest acceptance of our need for variety – variety in our sexual and relationship needs and wants.

II. CHOICE

A grounded and balanced Poly understands they are free to make decisions about how they will live their life. They are free to choose. For example every day you choose to stay with your partners.

Of course this may cause conflict with partners who think they know what is good for you. Ask your partners for their opinions, think them over, and then make your own choices. You will make and be responsible for your own mistakes.

Watch out for those in your life who want to control you and limit your choices.

III. TRANSPARENCY

Although some will disagree, I firmly believe that there should be no secrets in Polyamory. Full disclosure is paramount. And even if you try to keep things to yourself remember the Poly community is very small and pillow talk is
second only to the Internet in keeping everyone informed about who is in relationship with whom. Many Polyamorists love to gossip and your secrets may well be common knowledge – but you just don’t know that everyone else knows.

Nothing is more damaging to a Poly relationship than to find out the details about your partner from others.

A close friend of mine is married, and his wife does not know he is closet bisexual and a
closet cross dresser. You cannot believe the amount of stress this causes which manifests as poor heath and depression.

Wherever possible, get to know your partner’s partners. I say this easily yet I have partners who are reluctant to be fully open about their partners.

Keep all of your partners in the loop. Poly relationships often fail because the primary partner feels left out.
A lesson the Poly community can teach the mono community is how to deal with unadulterated truth in relationships.


IV. TRUST

A quick definition of trust is: firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. An example might be condom use. You agree with all your partners to use condoms with everyone not your primary. You believe that they will do what they say they will do.

You want to know that your partners will behave responsibly. In fact, an older term for Polyamory is “responsible non-monogamy”.
Trust is always an “iffy” thing, as we all know how easy it is to break that trust in the heat of passion.
Keeping your partners trust and honoring agreements may well be one of the most difficult aspects of Polyamory. I fail from time to time but I communicate, confess and just deal with the aftermath. Sometimes this not a lot of fun.


V. GENDER EQUALITY

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Different rules for different genders are not allowed.

A lady friend of mine has a bit of trouble
with this concept. She is Poly and very much in love with her primary. She continues to date others, but he, being consumed with New Relationship Energy (NRE), preferred to be monogamous. As his NRE cooled and he became more comfortable with Poly thinking (and multipartnering) he began to develop an interest in other women. She was distraught, entered psychotherapy and now, months later she is still in therapy and still not comfortable with him dating.
It is easy to embrace the concept of Polyamory but the practice is sometimes hard. It may take years to feel at ease with the Poly lifestyle.
Let me add a word or two here about women and Polyamory. There is a saying that men often have to beg women to come to the first Polyamory party. But by the third party he has to beg her to come home. Women seem to love Polyamory and as you look over Poly history you find many women who are the movers and shakers in the Poly community.
It is my impression that men are more often prone to have difficulty sharing their women with other men.


VI. HONESTY

Now I ask you, who would want their partner to be dishonest?
When I was first learning about Polyamory I cheated on my primary partner. I had met someone new and was consumed by New Relationship Energy. When I eventually confessed, my partner was destroyed and there was a bloodbath with me getting the worst of the battle.
I was told in no uncertain terms that she could handle anything but deceit. She had no problems with my having sex with others, or falling in love with others, but lying and withholding information was not acceptable.
So now I just tell my partners when I am attracted to others and keep them informed. No editing, no withholding.
Your partners may not like hearing what you are telling them but in the long run just getting everything out for discussion beats lying, withholding information and editing.
Poly life is so complicated that I cannot imagine not being honest with all of my partners. And I will tell you this is not always easy.
In my opinion the essence of Polyamory is about HONESTY IN RELATIONSHIPS
 
6-12 of the 12 pillars of poly

VII. OPEN COMMUNICATION

Although this overlaps other Pillars it is so important it is worth repeating.
There should be NO secrets in Polyamory. None.
Over and over I hear stories about multiple partner relationships failing because someone felt left out. Everyone should know about everyone in your life that is of romantic/sexual interest to you. Not knowing is deadly. Keep all of your partners in the loop, especially when you are starting new relationships.
By way of illustration I have a partner whose husband became depressed because of health issues. He did some inappropriate things which I didn’t understand until I found out about the depression. And I will warn you; depression dissolves lots of the defenses and melts your self-esteem.

Depression and Polyamory are not a good mix.
As an example of communication there is an apocryphal story about a man in therapy who finally confessed that he always wanted to tie up his wife and have sex with her. He was afraid to tell her for fear she would divorce him and he didn’t want that to happen. The wife finally entered therapy and after many sessions confessed that she always wanted her husband to tie her up and have sex with her but was afraid to tell him fearing that he would want a divorce. Think about the joy these two might have shared if only they were about to be honest in their communication.
When I begin a new relationship I always make it a point to tell my other partners the details of my romantic life.
COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE

It has been said that successful Polyamorists are so busy communicating that they cannot find time to have sex.


VIII. NON-POSSESSIVE

No one owns anyone.

This supposedly ancient Chinese proverb sums up possessiveness:

“If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was. We do not possess anything in this world, least of all other people. We only imagine that we do. Our friends, our lovers, our spouses, even our children are not ours; they belong only to themselves. Possessive and controlling friendships and relationships can be as harmful as neglect.”

In Polyamory you must quickly learn to love with an open hand. Allow yourself to understand and accept your partner’s autonomy.
My partners have complete autonomy to establish relationships that work for them. Of course, I am free to voice my opinions but they are welcome to make their own mistakes.
Practicing Polyamory requires heaps of self-esteem!


IX. CONSENSUAL

Everyone knows what is going on in all the partners’ lives and everyone AGREES to what is going on.
If there is no agreement it is cheating. And if it is cheating then it is NOT Polyamory. It is cheating.


X. ACCEPTING OF SELF DETERMINATION

Understanding that each of us is different is essential. Encourging your partners to follow their own life’s path is mandatory.

Suppose, as for an example, your partner wants to explore BDSM and you have little interest and maybe even an aversion to this pastime. If they find a play partner for an occasional session of impact play or bondage you just have encourage them to do it safely and welcome them home.

I have members of my extended Poly family where she wanted to explore her interest in BDSM and he encouraged her to find safe ways to do this. For a year or two she had one or two sessions a month with a Dom, learned her limits, and eventually lost interest. They remain happily married and Polyamorous.

You must keep an open mind about your partner’s behavior since you have no control. Yes, you can voice your opinions and make your concerns and wishes known but expect disagreements from time to time. And disagreements can lead to disruption of relationships.
No one ever said that Polyamory is about perfection in relationships. Rather Polyamory is about honesty in relationships. Polyamorous relationships can and will fail, just like monogamous relationships.

I will be the first to tell you THIS IS NOT ALWAYS EASY, especially in the early stages of exploring Polyamory.


X. SEX POSITIVE

Sexuality is, of course, a major part of Polyamorous relationships and all partners being in agreement on sexual matters is essential. Are all of your partners sex positive?
I have seen few descriptions of what sex positive means and here is my definition.

1. A sex positive person is comfortable with their emotional, spiritual, physical and sexual selves.

2. A sex positive person understands, accepts and tolerates their partners sexual needs, beliefs, practices, and yes, even kinks.

3. A sex positive person is open to exploration of a variety of sensual, intimate, and sexual experiences and freely shares their thinking with their partners.

4. A sex positive person can easily communicate their sexual needs to their partners -- they can ask for what they want comfortably.

Communicating your needs to NOT have sex or participate in activities you do not desire is also sex positive.

Ask for what you want – sometimes you might even get it.


XII. COMPERSION

Understanding and embracing compersion is the essence of successful Polyamorous relationships.

I plagiarized this description from a web site now disappeared into cyberspace and I quote (in part): “Compersion is the opposite of jealousy. In simple language Compersion is the love we feel when others feel love. It is the pleasure we feel when others feel pleasure. It is that vast landscape of pleasure and intimacy beyond jealousy. It is the emotional expression that what we want for our loved ones more than anything is their happiness and fulfillment. Compersion recognizes people for who they really are rather than for whom we might want them to be. Compersion recognizes that autonomy, not control, is the way of the lover.

Here is an example plagiarized from an entry by “birgittefires” on My Space April, 2008:
”Compersion is taking your fiancé out to buy flowers for the girl he’s wooing, and offering to help pay for the bouquet without being paid back when he finds one a little out of his price range... And feeling excited and happy for him when you’re sitting on the couch eating pizza and watching romance movies while he spends his first night over there... waiting up for him to get home from a late date so you can hear all the sordid details.”

It takes some time and some practice to fully understand and embrace the concept of Compersion.


IN CONCLUSION

Having considered these 12 pillars, you might conclude that Polyamory is just not for you! Polyamory is not for everyone. It works for some and is a disaster for others.

As you travel down the road to Polyamory, especially during the first few miles, do not exceed the speed limit – ever. Go slow! Speed kills.

The road to Polyamory is difficult since there are no roadmaps that are suitable for all. But the traveler, by studying and understanding and embracing the 12 Pillars of Polyamory will have a much easier journey.
