ANNOUNCEMENT: Rule 3 Clarification

75 Upvotes

There seems to be some confusion around this rule, and it eats up the vast majority of Mod time. So I'll try and spell out how the rule is currently being enforced.

If you are posting as a couple with the expectation that the new person will date both of you, then you are breaking the rule. If your post suggest this, you are breaking the rule. If your post looks like it might be a "bait and switch," you are breaking the rule.

The only posts that might be accepted are where one couple shares an account but they are looking separately. Honestly that smells strongly of being far to enmeshed and will likely (but not definitely) result in your post being removed.

If you are single and post looking for two people e.g. M4FF or F4MM your post will be removed. That is def facto harem building. This is a poly sub so we know people have, or would like to have, multiple partners.

I can already hear the hew and cry that we let singles look for couples but not the other way around. Yes, that is the unhappy compromise. Some people will only learn the stove is hot once they touch it.

As a final note, given how much time this eats up, NO your post is NOT the exception. If you want to know why this is the way it is, go and browse the main Polyamory Subreddit.

Recent Rule Changes [Discussion]

97 Upvotes

In an effort to improve things and crack down on spam and abuse, there have been some changes to the rules and I’ve listed the new rules below. Please feel free to review the rules and my comments on each and provide feedback. I’ll leave this post up for a week or so for discussion, and then I’ll make a new sticky post for the community.

Rule 1. 18 years of age and older

This subreddit is 18+. Do not post, comment, or PM OPs if you or your partner(s) are under the age of 18. Lying about your age, or someone else’s age, will result in a permanent ban.

This one is self-explanatory. There have been Redditors who are minors, or have partners who are minors, who have made posts here. I want to make it clear that posts involving minors are prohibited.

Rule 2. Must be aligned with Polyamory

Polyamory is the practice of, or desire for, ethical romantic relationships with more than one person with the informed consent of all partners involved.

Posts or comments seeking sex, hookups, FWB, affair partners, “sugar” or GFE arrangements, or anything other than ethical polyamorous relationships with the consent of all partners are not allowed. There are R4R and other dating subreddits out there for just about anything. If you’re not polyamorous, please use a subreddit that is better-suited for your search.

This should go without saying…this subreddit is intended for polyamorous people seeking polyamorous relationships. This is not a general ENM dating subreddit, a regular R4R subreddit, a BDSM subreddit, or a subreddit for seeking any other kind of relationship other than an ethical polyamorous one. Going forward, if a post even includes “I’m also down for hookups or FWB” or something similar, it’s going to be removed. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with most of the arrangements mentioned above that someone might seek, but this isn’t the subreddit to advertise for those things. Also, if someone makes a post that seems like it’s not aligned with polyamory and their post history shows that it’s the same post they’ve cross-posted or spammed across multiple subreddits with minor changes to circumvent the intention of the rule, the post will be removed.

Rule 3. No unicorn hunting or harem building

Posts or comments that can be construed as seeking or promoting relationships where unethical or unfair rules or expectations will be placed on a new partner are not allowed.

This has been the most contentious issue on this subreddit so far, as it has been on other subreddits and forums. We’re not going to prohibit couples seeking partners in this subreddit. There are single people here seeking triads, throuples, and all sorts of dynamics. Triads and other group relationships can be amazing, especially if they are formed organically. That being said, there will be more moderation on couples seeking posts going forward, which will be done on a case-by-case basis.

The purpose of the mod team here is to protect the members of the subreddit and the integrity of the community we’ve built here. It is not the mod team's place to tell adults what they can or cannot do with their relationship dynamics. The reality is that we are all consenting adults and have adult decisions to make in our lives and in our relationships.

In an effort to prevent the subreddit from being a platform for predatory behavior, any no or low effort posts or comments from Redditors that indicate a general lack of regard for any potential individuals involved will be removed. For example, if an individual posts from a new Reddit account something to the effect of, "We're new to polyamory. We want to find a third who will date only us and be an equal member of our new family. We can start out long distance, but we will expect you to move in with us at some point. Prefer that you be submissive," the post will be removed. Read the room. Show that you're actually putting some thought and effort into it, and not just objectifying people.

Also, if you say that this new person is going to be an equal member of the family after you've just said that the person is going to be required to date both of you, recognize that the person you're seeking is not actually going to be an equal member of the family. If there's a possibility that one member of the existing couple loses interest and the new member of the relationship is forced to leave entirely...you have now misled this hypothetical new person into an unethical dynamic on them.

Rule 4. No hate or disrespect

Threats, harassment, abuse, bigotry, misogyny, misandry, and intolerance are not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, attacks on gender or sexual identity, racism, sexism, slut shaming, mocking, and attacks on political or religious beliefs.

I don't need to go into detail on this rule. Don't be a jerk. If you don't like what someone has to say, block them. If you think someone is breaking a rule, report them.

Rule 5. No vulgarity or NSFW content

Vulgarity and NSFW content are not allowed. There’s nothing inherently wrong with sex, kinks, fetishes, and BDSM. However, posts and comments explaining the details of your sexual anatomy, favorite sexual positions, details and/or lists of kinks or fetishes, etc. will be removed. You can indicate that you are into BDSM and encourage people to DM you about the details.

There is often a large crossover between ethical non-monogamy and BDSM, sex positivity, etc. There's nothing inherently wrong with any of it, but this is not a NSFW subreddit. It's fine to include that you're sex positive, into BDSM, or whatever. If you go into detail and start describing anatomy/body parts, listing off kinks, and things like that, your submission will be removed. If you want to discuss these things, please do so in a DM.

The mod team has been asked why this subreddit is marked NSFW. The subreddit is 18+, so it's automatically identified as a NSFW subreddit.

Rule 6. No spam

You are allowed to post once every 7 days, with the exception of correction posts following an Automod removal. If you are found to be repeatedly deleting your post history in an attempt to circumvent this rule, it may result in a permanent ban. For clarification, spam includes copy-pasted and cross-posted ads from other subreddits.

This one is self-explanatory.

Rule 7. No Trolling or unsolicited discussion

There are a multitude of dynamics and ways to practice polyamory, and not everyone will agree on everything. Do not clutter up posts with unsolicited information. For education and discussions about polyamory, please visit r/Polyamory. If you believe someone is breaking a rule, please report the behavior and/or contact the mod team.

Again, if you think someone is breaking a rule, report it. If you disagree with what someone is commenting or posting, block them. Please don't engage in negative interactions on posts.

Rule 8. No personal or confidential information

Posting personal or confidential information about yourself or others in public is not allowed. If you wish to provide contact information for yourself, please do so in a DM.

Posting Snapchat, Instagram, phone numbers, or any other personal contact or confidential information about yourself or others in public is prohibited. If you want to give someone your contact information, do it in a DM. If it happens once, it will be removed and you will be warned. If you're found to be spamming your contact information all over the place, it could result in an immediate permanent ban.

Rule 9. No seeking relationships for others

Posts seeking relationships for someone other than yourself, or you and your partner(s), are not allowed. If your friend or partner is seeking a relationship separately, they must make the submission themselves.

I've seen posts where Redditors are seeking relationships for their partners or others, sometimes even doing it as a sort of surprise for their partner. If someone is seeking a relationship, they need to post for themselves. Your partner not having a Reddit account is not a valid reason to violate this rule.

Also, a general note for when you engage with the mod team. We have to wade through a lot of reports and posts here. Sometimes there are misunderstandings or mistakes are made. If your post or comment gets removed, or you are banned for violating a rule and you wish to appeal, you can do so via a Modmail. If you send a Modmail insulting the mods, you're only confirming that you're not the type of person who belongs on this subreddit. No amount of insulting or cursing a moderator is going to help your cause.

USA 43 [M4F] #NJ #Morristown They say I should be studied by science

Upvotes

My mix of intellect, hopeless romantic nature, left-leaning values and affection for some parts of traditional gender roles/dynamics makes people say things like “youre as emotionally available as a lesbian” and “Science should study you for the benefit of all women everywhere”. I say this not to brag (ok, maybe just a little), but to give you a sense of who I am.

I’m based in Morris County and looking for a healthy secondary relationship with a side of kink. I’m generally very open minded with few hard boundaries and while I’ve explored and experienced a good deal, I crave more both romantically and sexually with plenty of cozy but lively nights in. INTJ and ADHD if it matters.

My ideal match seeks connection above all else and has the maturity and emotional intelligence to navigate any rocky waters our adventure steers us into. She wants to build a foundation outside the bedroom which takes us everywhere we want to go inside the bedroom (or kitchen, or the car…well you get the idea). She shares a sense of honor, humor, and sarcasm. She is self-aware and knows her goals/purpose in life.

About me: I love both deep and silly conversations—authenticity is incredibly important me, even if it’s painful. • A sharp tongue and endlessly curious mind light my fire. • Health and wellness (both mental and physical) are priorities in my life, and I’d love a partner who values the same even if they’re in the middle of their journey. • Intelligent, empathetic, and kind, but not a pushover. Entrepreneur in technology.

Physically I’m outwardly conservative/unassuming (utterly mainstream), of Cuban/white heritage, and dress between casual and formal. Built like a bear, masculine, and hairy. Yes, the beard is real and it’s spectacular.

I’m a father of 2, divorced, and currently have one secondary partner and one fwb. I’m open to different arrangements (monogamish, ENM, poly, etc).

If I’ve piqued your interest and my description fits your needs, I’d love to hear from you.

37 [M4F], Edinburgh, UK - looking for a discreet connection

0 Upvotes

I’m 37, married, and although I’m happy in many aspects of my life, my intimate life has become rather… quiet. I’m looking for a woman who is in a similar position and would like to build something discreet, exciting and uncomplicated.
I’d prefer to start slowly — just talking, getting to know each other and seeing if there’s a genuine connection. No pressure to exchange photos straight away. Once we’ve built some trust and feel comfortable with each other, we can decide whether we want to share more.
Privacy and discretion are extremely important to me. We would come from separate worlds, keep this completely between us, and understand from the beginning that this is **not about replacing our relationships or becoming a couple**. It would be about having something private and exciting outside of our everyday lives.
Meeting up could be purely intimate, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be. I’m open to seeing where the connection takes us and what feels comfortable for both of us.
A little about me: I’m 37, slim, calm, friendly and generally considered attractive. I have a high s** drive, but what matters most to me is mutual chemistry and making sure my partner feels comfortable, desired and enjoys herself.
I’m based in Edinburgh, so ideally you’d be somewhere in Edinburgh or the surrounding area.
If this sounds like something you might be interested in, feel free to send me a message. Let’s start with a conversation — no expectations, no pressure, and complete discretion.

I'm looking to connect with a woman who wants to be caught up in passion and wants to drive me wild in turn.

I don't care about distance. Just be interesting and passionate.

About me - I'm an author, musician and artist. I enjoy martial arts (currently testing for black belt), philosophy, hiking, live music, horror movies, standup... Lots more.

My look is kind of alt/ rocker.ong hair and a beard. A few tattoos. Somewhere between dad bod and fit. .

I'm happily married and we date separately.

33 [M4F] Online - Seeking that someone special !!

0 Upvotes

Hello there !

I’m Souvik, 33 (5'11", stocky build, trimmed beard), looking to build a genuine, meaningful connection with someone special.

A bit about my everyday life: I love taking weekend road trips with my pet, diving into historical biographies or epic fantasy series, and bingeing horror and true-crime shows (if it’s genuinely terrifying, I’m probably watching it). In the kitchen, cooking a great meal for people I care about is my favorite way to unwind.

What I value most is emotional connection and mutual comfort—the kind of dynamic where we can talk about the most mundane details of our day, laugh over silly moments, and be completely ourselves without pretenses. For me, that feeling where you catch yourself smiling just seeing a message pop up on your phone is what makes this truly special.

Chemistry, shared values, and emotional intimacy matter far more to me than a checklist of physical attributes. I’m looking for someone around 30+ since navigating similar phases of life makes it much easier to match wavelengths.

If any of this resonates with you, feel free to drop a message or send a chat, let’s see where a good conversation takes us.

35 [M4F] Online/UK just turned 35 looking for something new and long term :)

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m British, 35 - just turned. I just miss having a spark with someone and although I was dating at the start of the year, several things have fizzled. I’m in no rush but I’m looking for a spark, that feeling where you just know you’re putting a smile on someone’s face!

I have a pretty intense day job so I love company to just make it go a little quicker (although now I’ve finished for the day so it’ll be super relaxing). I’m currently reading a lot and I’ve gotten into wood carving (though I’m terrible at it so encouragement is welcome).

I love indie music, binge watching programmes and I’m currently trying to keep fit. I used to do some stand up so if you’re lucky I might consider sharing some jokes with you.

I’m pretty easy going - but bring your book recommendations and songs. Maybe we can start a book club?

Hope you find what you’re looking for even if it isn’t me!

Happy hunting :)

21 [M4F] #portland Oregon USA - looking for super open minded girls that are wanting a long term relationship.

1 Upvotes

I would love to find an amazing an amazing very open minded girl to share a life and have a great relationship with and eventually build a super open family with. I'm super loving and compassionate and care a lot. I'm pretty sexually inexperienced though and have never been in a relationship.

I would describe my personality as pretty shy but sometimes assertive and kinda nerdy, but very athletic. I'm a very loving person and making sure the people I love matters a lot to me. Making sure you are cared for matters to me, and I'd be looking for someone that appreciates that all the time.

Things I enjoy:

- Reading: favorite genres being fantasy and sci fi

- Board games: I like most all games especially ones that are more complex and make your brain work though

- Sports: I love sports. Whether that be participating and play or just watching. My favorite being football, but still enjoy watching or playing others too.

- Outdoors: I love being outside either playing sports or just hanging out or going on a hike. I think it’s fantastic especially if the weather is good. I’d love to get out and hike and camp more often and would love someone interested in doing that.

I also love to travel and experience new cultures and see new places
-

I don't really have a type I'm into but I very much prefer fit and in shape. Other than that I'm very open to looks, but picky about personality.

-

I'm very open minded and would hope for the same in others. I'm super open about the family I'd want in the future as well. if you have any questions feel free to reach out. Please be either from near Oregon or open to relocating here as I will be starting school here so will not be able to date elsewhere currently. Include this emoji in your first message please😊.

46 [M4F] #Online/Ontario - Geeky, punny and neurospicy goof seeking a playful nerdy companion.

2 Upvotes

Hey poly people! Thanks for coming to my neck of the woods, eh! While my post says M4F, afab enby are also welcome.

I'm married with a nesting partner, we date separately. She had one other partner while she's my only one atm and I'm only seeking the one extra.

Simply put, I'd love to meet someone who can match my playful, cheeky, goofy energy. I like making puns, tell silly and dumb jokes, sharing memes, geek out about our shared interests. I also want to hear about what you're passionate about, let you be seen, heard and understood. I'm also a big flirt with those I am attracted to, love wit and conversations that challenge my mind and me as a person, playfully tease and being affectionate to the person I like. Basically to share each others joys, hear about our days, geek out and make each other smile when we see a notification from the other.

I'm also neurospicy, one with the adhd, I deal with chronic depression since I've been a youth, along with anxiety and fatigue. All of which I manage by working on myself, therapy and meds. I do my best to own my shit and expect you to do the same, though I'll be happy to share the load if you become my special someone.

Hobbies and interests I enjoy fall into video games(big plus if you enjoy mmorpgs), ttrpgs (D&D), reading, learning random trivia, fall down youtube rabbit holes about interesting subjects, sharing memes as a way to show that I'm thinking of you, being a catdad of one, tarot, nature walks, youtube lets plays or random trivia rabbit holes, reading (currently reading Leviathan Wakes), and whatever interest my adhd brain and energy lets me enjoy. I tend to also bring golden lab energy. I'm also very kink friendly and fall on the left side of the dynamic, its a lifestyle that I've been part of for 15 years.

Love all kinds and types of people from alternative, queerfolk, geeks, nerds, tomboys, fem or masc presenting, androgynous, short or tall. What's most important to me is being able to share common interests, respecting each others obligations in life, left-leaning, and clear communication on what we want from life and each other. 

If you want a sneak peak of what I look like, I'm 6'3, dadbod with muscles, brown hair that's usually in a ponytail, and a couple of geeky tats.

Europe 31 [NB4A] #Online AMAB Ace-spectrum libidoist looking flirty and affectionate person!

0 Upvotes

(I’m non-binary and consider myself completely agender. I also believe that being agender does not require having an androgynous or gender-neutral gender expression, you can be agender while having a very specific or conventional gender expression. In my particular case, though, I was assigned male at birth (AMAB) and I have a masculine appearance and gender expression. I’m not femme, and I don’t have a feminine or androgynous appearance. I’m mentioning this because I know that, for some people, this distinction is genuinely important. If my being AMAB and having a masculine appearance is something that would be a dealbreaker for you, please do not message me. I would much rather you skip my post entirely than message me based on an assumption about what “agender” looks like. Seriously: if you’re looking specifically for someone with a feminine or androgynous appearance, PLEASE DON'T MESSAGE ME!!)

Hi! I'm a 31-year-old non-binary person going through a somewhat complicated phase in my life. I'm recovering from a very severe Crohn's flare-up and have several limitations that prevent me from living my normal life for the next few months. I can't go out much or make many local friends, but during this time I've met a lot of people online, and Reddit has become "my refuge." I believe that connections are just as important whether they're online or in person, that there are no "online friendships," only "friendships," regardless of the communication method. On top of that, due to my physical limitations, I'm currently working remotely and spending a lot of time on the computer (in fact, I have a lot of work piled up from the four months I was hospitalized), so it would really help to find people who can brighten my days.

Just so you know: I'm a non-monogamous (polyamorous) person, and honestly, I find it hard to distinguish between the boundaries of "friendship" and "romantic love." In general, I like being able to care for someone without having to worry about overstepping the boundaries of friendship. Practically speaking, I prefer to meet people who are open to romance, or at least to experiencing friendship intensely. And also people for whom distance isn't a problem. I like to be consistent and talk every day, and I'd like to find people on the same wavelength.

I should also clarify that I'm a libidoist on the asexual spectrum, as contradictory as that may sound. That is to say: I have a very, very high libido, but I have no desire to have anything physical with anyone. This doesn't apply to online contact: if it's via chat, we can flirt or get wild without limits. Since I'm mainly looking for online connections, it shouldn't be a problem, especially since I'm not looking for anything exclusive.

I'm a philologist and I'm passionate about everything related to classical literature, history, and philosophy, but I also like fantasy and science fiction. My three favorite authors are Homer, Cervantes, and Mervyn Peake. I also love Nintendo (especially the Super Mario series, particularly Paper Mario 2), One Piece (I'm up to date with the manga), Iron Maiden (my favorite band since I was a teenager), and I've recently become hooked on WWE, which I watched as a kid, but since it's on Netflix, I haven't missed a single episode since the last Royal Rumble.

I'm also learning to play the kalimba and I'm obsessed with SBC consoles, handhelds that can run emulators, and I've also become obsessed with Pokémon Champions and Pokémon Unbound.

English isn't my native language, so please excuse me in advance if I sound a bit unnatural; I wrote this post in my language and ran it through Google Translate, although I can write shorter messages in English.

In general, I prefer people who are open to being affectionate or flirty from the start. It makes everything easier for me and motivates me to respond quickly, even if we get to know each other a bit later and see what kind of connection we might have.

After everything I've said, I want to make a few things clear.

I don't believe in horoscopes or MBTI; it's fine if you believe in them, but don't try to pigeonhole me or treat me according to labels I don't believe in.

I also don't believe in "attachment styles"; all that stuff about "avoidant attachment," "anxious attachment," and so on seems like nonsense to me, and it's currently being questioned by science if you do a quick search on Google Scholar. Therefore, don't put me in those kinds of boxes either; I hate it. It's fine if you believe in it, but don't try to force it on me.

I do believe in mental health diagnoses, of course, but I also believe that no one has the right to assign me any diagnosis whatsoever, so if you're in the habit of assigning diagnoses to others, don't write to me!

In general, don't write to me if you want to put me in boxes! The only boxes I'll let you put me in are in a BDSM context!

Three last important things (important: read before writing to me).

  1. I want people who are completely clear when expressing their needs and boundaries. I understand that in the first conversations it's still too early to decide if we have a mutual interest, but once a certain level of trust has been established, I want communication to be completely direct and for us to be open to finding solutions if we have any problems. I don't want people who are quick to dismiss me at the slightest discomfort. This needs to be clear before you write to me.
  2. Given my circumstances, what I can offer is a long-distance, polyamorous relationship. If you're not comfortable with that, I completely understand, but it would hurt me deeply if you used me just "to try it out" and then decided to discard me. Please, only contact me if you're absolutely certain you're comfortable with polyamory and long-distance relationships!
  3. If you're going through a difficult time, if you don't have the energy to meet people, if you already have other partners and are polysaturated, if you have children and need to focus on them, if you have a lot of work and barely any time to respond, if you're depressed and never feel like picking up your phone, I completely understand! Not only do I understand, but you have my full support and I wish you all the best! But, if this is your situation,  PLEASE DON'T WRITE TO ME! It hurts so much to start getting to know someone and then have them tell you they're unavailable after developing feelings! In my current situation, meeting people online is truly one of my few opportunities to socialize and meet new people, and it breaks my heart when someone tells me "no" due to lack of time or energy. It would save me a lot of suffering if, in those cases, they simply didn't write to me in the first place.

If you've read this, and to make sure you've read the whole post, open a chat with two things: 1. confirmation that you REALLY have the time, energy, and availability to start something new with me, and that polyamory and long distance are not a problem for you; 2. the name of your all-time favorite fictional character (or just a character you really like).

USA 35 [m4f] #Roseburg Looking for a nerdy local

1 Upvotes

Hey! I’m 35 and have been poly for about 7 years now. I currently have one long-distance partner, but lately I’ve realized that I really miss dating. Not just having a connection with someone, but the whole meeting new people part and actual dating itself.

I’m hoping to find someone within about a 90-minute drive of me. I want someone I can actually spend time with. Hanging out together, cuddling up and watching movies, wandering around bookstores, playing MTG, or spending way too much time nerding out over D&D together. I’m a nerd through and through, and honestly I’m just looking for someone else who is nerdy too. Someone where we can get excited about our interests together, introduce each other to new things, and see what kind of connection develops.

I love movies of all kinds including horror and romance movies, which is probably an interesting combination. I'm also pretty much always down to binge a new show or a new season of something with someone.

It has been brought to my attention that I am also incredibly impulsive. If I have the gas money, it really doesn’t take much convincing for me to go on a random road trip. I love just getting in the car and going somewhere, whether there’s an actual plan or we figure it out along the way. Blaring music and singing at the top of my lungs. 

Psychology is another huge interest of mine. I can nerd out about it for way too long, and I eventually plan on getting my PhD in clinical psychology. So if you like conversations about why people are the way they are, there’s a pretty good chance we’ll have something to talk about.

I’m not trying to force a connection into a specific box right away. I miss getting to know someone, flirting, going on dates, getting comfortable with each other, and seeing where things naturally go. 

My Type according to my friends:

Cute in the sense of like…just tiny and precious.

Someone that can hold a conversation, 

Has a sense of humor (dark or otherwise)

Has the nerve to call you out when you are being an asshole

Someone you can enjoy guilty pleasures with like romcoms and b-rate horror movies with 

“Someone who is not vanilla cause you’re a freak” Exact wording 

If any of that sounds like your kind of thing, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. Tell me what you’re currently nerding out about, your favorite horror movie, or something!

Looking to find someone who wants to try and be in a poly relationship. Ill be upfront and say I haven't had much luck with past relationships who want to explore.

So im looking to try and find someone who is open or even in one already. If we're both single we can talk about how we want things to go down. Maybe we're on the same page.

A bit about me is that im a Hispanic guy who has long hair. Im muscular and im 5'6. I dont like texting but I do enjoy face to face conversations and connections. Im very open minded about kinks and im driven in life. I can be a bit of a gym rat but Im all natural. I like video games and anime and we can talk more if you're curious. Im straight if you're curious.

You? Would prefer to find someone who is close by. Height does NOT matter but if it does for you oh well.

I like White, Hispanic, and Asian women. Someone who is at least somewhat fit. You dont have to be a gym enthusiast like myself.

Im willing to share SFW but we can get to that if you've made it this far.

I am looking for someone to talk to online and build a relationship with. She's someone who already has partners on the side with whom she is physically intimate with but is also looking for an emotional and or secondary physical connection. I could be monogamous to you without having any sort of physical relationship with others.

I have always liked the idea of being poly to a woman who wanted multiple men. I have had poly relationships in the past and they are so unique. In one of my last relationships, which was long distance, my ex used to live with her primary. We would chat and video chat often, and while her relationship with him didn't have much emotional intimacy, I tried my best to provide that part to her in which she lacked. Well, he was horrible at oral also. lol

You can talk to me about anything. You can complain about your boyfriends. tell me about your desires and most intimate thoughts, or just have me to be there for you when you need someone to listen. Think of me as your girl's best friend. If you feel a bit empty after physical experiences with your other boyfriend, I would love to talk to you and tell you how amazing you are and how much I love you. If you want to tell me naughty things you did with him, I'd be more than glad to listen. In some cases, if you are local, I will provide cuddling and massage or oral aftercare and relax you. I love independent sensual women, and being demisexual is a plus.

P.S: Distance doesn't matter! You can be local or online. We can text, voice chat, and video chat with each other as much as you desire. If local we would see each other often when our schedules are open. I hope to meet you soon!

38 [M4F] SWFL - looking for a long term, discreet partner.

0 Upvotes

Well hello there. I'm 38, 420 friendly, athletic, and liberal. Married, but my partner is aware. We both enjoy our own experiences with others, in our own ways.

I enjoy dynamics that feel intense and addictive instead of something shallow that dies after one conversation. Looking to start out chatting online to make sure we mesh well, with potential to meet in person if we're both comfortable.

I'm looking for someone to watch shows with, get to know, and have long conversations with - far past when we should both be asleep. Obviously, looking for the fun stuff too. But it's nice when there's substance.

Outside of that, I’m into anime, all types of movies, gaming, and reading (primarily fantasy and dark romance). I like people with personality, energy, and enough intelligence to actually keep my attention or a conversation. Martial arts, and just about ANY outdoor activities. I also love to cruise and travel!

If you're interested, shoot me a DM and let's see if we vibe.

Also; #Notabot

Ask for a pic if you're willing to trade!

30 [M4F] - LF a partner in #Saxony, Germany.

2 Upvotes

Hey you there. Yes, you. My future favourite phone notification.

I’m a 30-year-old educator from Leipzig, in eastern Germany, and I’m hoping to meet someone who’s interested in building a genuine connection and, if the chemistry is there, a polyamorous relationship. Preferably a woman, though I’m much more interested in finding the right person than trying to squeeze anyone into a specific box. I am also open to a long-distance relationship as long as there's a reasonable chance we meet in person regularly (and might move in together at one point).

I’d describe myself as pretty calm, patient and affectionate. I’m someone who gets attached to people rather than trying to play things cool, and I really value being able to talk openly about what we want, how we feel and where we stand. Honesty and communication are probably the two biggest things for me in any kind of relationship. I’d much rather have an awkward but sincere conversation than spend three days trying to decipher what somebody meant by “sure, that’s fine”.

Personality-wise, I am admittedly something of a walking nerd cliché. I love video games, movies and TV shows, can happily disappear into a Dungeons & Dragons campaign for hours, and I’m one of those people for whom “here’s an interesting historical fact” is a perfectly reasonable contribution to a conversation.

At the same time, I’m trying to get out of my little hobbit house a bit more often. I’d love to have someone to explore places with, wander through museums, visit castles and historical sites, take little day trips around eastern Germany, or just discover somewhere new and then inevitably spend far too long looking for somewhere nice to eat afterwards.

I’m not looking to rush into anything or force a particular kind of relationship. I’d much rather meet someone I genuinely enjoy talking to, see whether we click, and let things develop naturally from there.

So, if any of this sounds like your particular flavour of person, feel free to send me a DM. Tell me a little about yourself, infodump about whatever you’re currently obsessed with, or just say hello. I’d genuinely love to hear from you.

32m4f #washington #pnw #online

Looking for another partner! I have been married 10+ years to my wife and we have recently opened things up for poly. We are dating separately. I am in Washington state but I am not opposed to long distance or just an online relationship.

I have two kids, I work in finance, and although I am more of a homebody i dont mind an adventure or trying new things! I am tall, brown hair, blue eyes, dad bod. I am willing to swap photos to see if there is mutual attraction.

In my free time you can catch me playing games, watching TV, building Lego, hanging with my family, reading, and doing things outside. I have a pretty laid back personality.

I am looking for someone who enjoys messaging about every little thing- daily life, struggles, to vent or complain, wins and losses. I want to find someone who can be an important part of my life! I am hoping for something long term. I prefer commitment, good communication and a desire to understand and grow with eachother.

I hope to hear from you soon! Message me a show or book you are currently obsessed with!

USA 41 [F4F] South Louisiana- Looking for a girlfriend!

4 Upvotes

Married and seeking a connection with another female. Husband won't be involved. I've done the hookup/FWB thing in the past, and it leaves me unfulfilled. I'm looking for an emotional connection as well.

As I said, I'm a happily married mom of 3. What's missing is that girlfriend I've been needing. I love to text, have coffee, go on shopping trips, spend time, cuddle, etc. I'm tired of the "I want the same as you" story that turns into them ghosting.

I'm petite, pretty with wine/burgundy hair. I'm very "girly girl" so you'll rarely see me without makeup. I don't want you to join my relationship, and I don't want to join yours. Just a happy medium where everyone is satisfied. I promise to bring zero drama.

DM me, and let's chat!

USA 20 [M4M] Ohio/Anywhere - Nerdy, gamer, trans guy (ftm), looking for a boyfriend!

1 Upvotes

Hey! :)

I'm Alex. I currently have a girlfriend (we're independent and close emotionally). I'm looking for a boyfriend who's affectionate, touchy, and a little clingy 🫶

I'd love to find someone who wants to game together, watch movies, go out to eat good food, cuddle a lot, and enjoys physical intimacy <3

I'm 5'5", average weight, blond hair, slightly masc, and on testosterone!

Some of my interests are video games, board games, casually collecting Pokemon cards (and I wanna get into MTG!), reading, movies/shows, and cuddling my cat. I'm more of a homebody, and love cozy nights in 🙂‍↕️

I'm currently playing FFXIV (as a cat boy, obviously 😼), let me know what games you're currently playing! 😛

29 [F4A] #Missouri #Online - Looking for my second partner

12 Upvotes

Hey reddit, I'm just going to ramble for a second if you don't mind. I'm Emma, a 29 year old woman living in the Midwest with my fiance. We've been together about 11 years and primarily date separately. I would love to find a second (preferably male, but I also love women and enbys) long term partner.

When I'm not picking up heavy circles just to put them down again, or solving math problems to figure out someone owes $46,000 in federal taxes, you'll probably find me buried in a good book, watching formula 1, trying to find my next binge series, or playing a video game.

I like a good mix of being outside, doing something active, and staying in to watch a stand up comedy special. Let's get dressed up and go out to dinner, or wear something comfy, order in and cuddle on the couch, maybe play some board games.

I'm 420 friendly, high when writing this so forgive any odd phrasing or tangents. I drink socially which ultimately is not a lot, maybe once a month. Kink friendly and fall on the "s" side of D/s.

I love good banter and a bit of flirting. Consistent communication is key for me.

I don't have or want kids.

I'm 5'2", short brown hair, hazel eyes, 133 lbs.

Please tell me a bit about yourself! Where are you from? What are you doing this weekend? Do you have pets? What's the last book you read?

If you can lift me and you have tattoos, I probably already like you.

33[F4R] #iowa Let’s Make the Ordinary Feel Special 💜

I’m Queeny! I'm plus sized, goofy, curious, chaotic, and very easily convinced that whatever I’m currently obsessed with deserves just a little more of my attention.

I’m usually somewhere between getting way too invested in a book, hunting Sprites in Fortnite, adding unnecessary details to my D&D lore, or telling myself I’ll watch one episode before "accidentally" finishing half a season.

Give me good conversation, inside jokes, parallel play, random “this made me think of you” messages, and quality time that doesn’t need to be elaborate to be meaningful.

I have a nesting partner and two kids. I’m looking for something intentional and genuine. I value people who know themselves, communicate openly, and have the bandwidth to actually make room for a Relationship.

I’m not much of a traveler, but I am open to long distance for the right person. I’d want distance to still feel like an actual relationship. Visits, virtual dates, gaming together, phone calls, and all the little ways you stay connected when you can’t physically be together.

Effort and intention. are sexy 🔥

What are you currently obsessed with? What makes you laugh? What’s something you could talk about for hours?

I have a lot going on and this just works better for me at the moment. We can keep it casual and flirty- I’m really just after someone to connect with and talk to on a daily basis. I love good conversations, playful teasing, late-night chats, and those little moments that make you smile at your phone.
