-Well, it would depend on which half of the football team.

ONce upon a time my then-wife sent her mother a long letter. It was basically a complete rundown of what she was like tehse days, because her mom seemed to have not caught certain things. It included her religious leanings, her political philosophy, her educational experience and outlook, her employment (including a complete CV) and why she was doing the work she was doing, and an explaination of polyamory.
Her mom (who is a sex educator and gay rights activist) sent back a two paragraph note that boiled down to "It's nice you've found a fancy word for sleeping around, but it still sounds irresponsible to me."

Thanks for being open-minded Mom.

Exactly...that and the fact that of all that stuff, the only thing she had a reaction to was the poly bit; 1/3 of a page out of a 6 page letter.

Add fire and brimstone and you got my mother.

Well... he gets them first. Then I get the leftovers.

But the love is real.

Are you sure he really loves you? I think if he really loved you he'd volunteer for sloppy seconds once in a while.

Two snarks in one post? Guess which post THIS is about!

When he has sex with them I have to wait in the car. It bothers me but I won't talk to him about it. Then he calls me in to take photos of it for their porn site. That bothers me too but I'm too shy to say anything.

I think the worst response I've gotten was when a guy asked me what polyamory was, I responed with the quick answer, and got "That's cute."

Now when he sees me he wants sex.

So not happening.

"You must really love him. It's bad enough if he likes dick. I couldn't date a guy after he's been fucked in the ass by half a football team."

I think it is important for people to know their boundaries! But is that 1/2 the on field team or the entire team? What about the coaches and/or the front office people? So many questions...

[blackperson]

I think the question here is, if he truly loves each and every one of them then it doesn't matter. They all get equal time and attention.

[dda]

I don't think this is really true; the special teams never get equal time and attention. Never.

They are secondaries. They have to clean the kitchen and watch the kids.
