- Sex, per se, has very little to do with my choice to be polyamorous--it's
- more "people variety" or "companionship variety" rather than "sexual
- variety" that appeals to me in multiple, concurrent relationships. In the
- past I've been in monogamous relationships, both by choice, and by
- default. I've never been bored in those monogamous relationships, and
- I haven't adopted polyamory in reaction to those relationships.
-
- Actually, I've always seen myself as an essentially polyamorous person. I
- find I'm very happy, and very comfortable when I'm involved (usually in
- varying levels of intensity) with more than one person.
-
- I'd also like to add that "physical attraction" isn't what usually
- motivates me to see new people--usually it's a kind of "kindred spirit"
- chemistry, or very often, an intellectual attraction. You can attract me
- more with good conversation, than with good looks or a sexy body any day!
