"[It's] what you might get if Nora Ephron teamed up with Tom of Finland."

A mild-mannered young man enters into a dominant-submissive relationship with the leader of a gay biker gang. Pillion approaches the subject without judgment and with a great deal of sly humor. n.pr/4cbWDlc

Itβs ok to say βI didnβt feel a spark but I wish you the bestβ. Your dates will appreciate your honesty and respect for them.
True relational healing doesn't come from reading all the books, listening to all the podcasts, and following all the creators about polyamory. It comes from real-life experiences where your values are tested, your emotions activated, and where there are real stakes to consider.
13.01.2026 09:26 β π 5 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0If you still feel jealous despite having done a ton of research about polyamory, the reason is simple: there's a world of difference between intellectualising and internalising.
Your brain might have understood something, but your body hasn't yet. Let me explain...
There is no need to compete/compare with your partner about who's "getting more" out of the relationship. Instead, focus on your own capacity, what you actually need, and whether you are feeling supported and valued in your relationship and life in general π
16.01.2026 03:20 β π 6 π 4 π¬ 1 π 0Men have to unlearn toxic masculinity (e.g. "Your wife being with another means *you* have failed as a man to satisfy her sexually" or "You should be able to control your woman, and if you can't, that is shameful, weak, and unmanly"). Untangling sex from self-worth is essential.
16.01.2026 03:20 β π 7 π 3 π¬ 1 π 0In my experience, men tend to struggle more with polyamory than women because on top of unlearning mononormativity (e.g. "Your partner being with others means they don't love you" or "You can only love one person")...
16.01.2026 03:20 β π 8 π 3 π¬ 1 π 0Polyamory is not cheating, *and* people with trauma around being cheated on tend to find polyamory more difficult.
16.01.2026 03:20 β π 6 π 3 π¬ 1 π 0What matters is that you are still showing up for each other in your connection, that your feelings are considered, and that your needs are met, which is what actually demonstrates the security and commitment of your connection, not what you're doing with others.
16.01.2026 03:20 β π 5 π 3 π¬ 1 π 0If your partner has more partners than you, reframing that from something "bad" and indicative of your worth as a person to just a neutral state of affairs is key.
16.01.2026 03:20 β π 5 π 3 π¬ 1 π 0Itβs YOUR job to manage your own capacity, to clearly communicate and check in with partners regularly, to consider how your relationships impact each other, and do all this in a way that respects everyoneβs boundaries.
19.01.2026 07:05 β π 9 π 2 π¬ 1 π 0People are really out here confusing βfreedomβ with βfree-for-allβ, and βautonomyβ with βzero accountabilityβ.
If you donβt want to take on the responsibility, emotional labour, and effort that comes with maintaining multiple intimate connections, polyamory is not for you.οΏΌ
You canβt say you want to be polyamorous and then flake on dates whenever you feel like it, have zero consideration for your partnersβ feelings and needs, get defensive when they try to communicate with you, and bail as soon as things start to feel inconvenient or uncomfortable.
