You posted at the same time as me love.... heh, this word definition thing is near and dear to us isn't it.... I am anxiously awaiting others to respond!
I'm cooling down again LOL! I actually thought of deleting my last couple of posts but they were from somewhere real so they are staying.
Peace and Love everyone..zen, zen
Is it possible for polyamory to fit a group of people who love each other and don't have sex with each other, or at all with anyone for that matter.... a kind of asexual poly family?
Having many loves, implies many lovers, implying not being asexual. Having many friends, you love, does not.
Since the word polyamory is rooted in the Greek as "many loves" the answer is yes. It is possible.
I believe the emotion I am experiencing is called anger. Hmmm interesting, shall I pull out a dictionary to analyze that? Nope..just simple fucking anger..must be a mono thing like jealousy and possessiveness. Fuck it...I'll bath in it for a while I think.
What is the difference then between a romantic relationship, an intimate friendship that involves sex?
I can't believe so much of this thread was directed towards debating a word used to conceptualize the difference between friends and the poly concept of close deep friends you want to fuck. Why don't we define the word "love" with the dictionary as well because I see it thrown around like a cheap shirt all the time in the poly community? Words are used in different ways all the time to achieve individual goals and results. Sometimes they are just lame justifications to produce a higher sense of morality. Not all the time, just some of the time.
I hope that you'll be willing to talk with me about it when we are in disagreement, rather than to stew in anger.
Luckily I am quite comfortable being a community of one with a small family and circle of friends.
English lacks a vocabulary to express properly the variety of human relations. Odd that such a huge language that has mugged so many other languages for words should come up short when dealing with a topic of such affect.
I just realized that I do feel very alone in some ways. Good thing I'm comfy in that..hmmm processing.
I know that you are going to a huge transition, thanks for letting everyone know so that we can be supportive and understand what is going on for you.
