“They'll say you are bad
or perhaps you are mad
or at least you
should stay undercover.
Your mind must be bare
if you would dare
to think you can love
more than one lover.”

“I sat on the bed. Neither of us said anything. I wasn't slick and sophisticated enough for this. What do you say to boyfriend A when he finds you naked in the bed of boyfriend B? Especially if boyfriend A turned into a monster the night before and ate someone. I bet Miss Manners didn't cover this at all.”

“The point for me is to create relationships based on deeper and more real notions of trust. So that love becomes defined not by sexual exclusivity, but by actual respect, concern, commitment to act with kind intentions, accountability for our actions, and a desire for mutual growth.”

“Roen snorted. "You two have the strangest relationship in the Dells."
Archer smiled slightly. "She won't consent to make it a marriage."
"I can't imagine what's stopping her. I don't suppose you've considered being less munificent with your love?"
"Would you marry me, Fire, if I slept in no one's bed but yours?"
He knew the answer to that, but it didn't hurt to remind him. "No, and I should find my bed quite cramped.”

“When jealousy rears up, it indicates that something inside of you is afraid. It's an alarm, nothing less and nothing more. Treat it as such.”

“I lay there in the bath not thinking, not doing anything. After a few seconds, I heard her open the front door, and then her voice saying: she's had a really rough day, so just be nice to her. And Nick said: I know, I will. I loved them both so much in this moment that I wanted to appear in front of them like a benevolent ghost and sprinkle blessings into their lives. Thank you, I wanted to say. Thank you both. You are my family now.”

“Security comes first from inside of you. Then, if you are very lucky, you will be in a position to find other people who also possess that same sort of security, and build some sort of family or community as a team.”

“So, a little advice. Relax. You're not filling a job position. You're looking for a pleasant acquaintance.. who might become a good friend... who turns out to be attractive to your senses... and a rewarding lover... then a committed partner whose heart will not stray. If you don't see those signposts and in that order, then you're probably on the wrong road and getting more lost with every step.”

“When you begin with the premise "I treat everyone equally," you have already blinkered yourself from seeing where you don't, or can't, or shouldn't. There is no way to treat two people equally, because they are each unique, with respective strengths and weaknesses.”

“You'll need courage because polyamorous relationships can be scary. Loving other people without a script is scary. Allowing the people you love to make their own choices without controlling them is scary. The kind of courage we're talking about involves being willing to let go of guarantees - and love and trust your partners anyway.”

“We are raised to believe (on the surface, at least) that us humans only have so much love to give, and that it comes in a standard round unit: one. After all, we associate love with the heart, and, well, you've either got a whole heart, or you're dead, period. You can't, common wisdom goes, just run around dividing that one heart up freely; to claim to do so means that you're either a fool, or you're dividing up something that is dead.”

“When I tell her I feel like the other woman, she laughs, that's just learned sexist bullshit. We are all in charge of our own bodies and what we decide to do with them. We are all our own.
I believed it when she said it, like she'd opened up a new valve that had been stuck. I felt unconfined and open-minded and totally confused. Intellectually, non-monogamy made complete sense; emotionally, it felt like sandpaper across my eyelids.”

“It's a false premise to say that most monogamous people have chosen monogamy. Most people belong to the religion they were raised in...because that's what's familiar. That's the milieu they grew up in, and, for better or worse, they're just continuing the pattern. Until this traditionalist mindset is shaken loose, you would likely try from reflex to impose notions onto nonmonogamy that are not only untenable in the new context but spel sudden and messy doom even in situations that otherwise could be worked out.”

“A real relationship doesn't properly begin until the NRE burns away. That's when you have to start dealing with this person as an all-around human being, replete with irritating little habits. When disillusion sets in, love can begin.”

“The more love you give, the more you are capable of giving. It's only when you shut off the source that it dries up.”

“Polyamory is differentiable from some other forms of nonmonogamy (including adultery) in that it is future-oriented. Poly relationships are not located solely in the moment, but have intentions (though perhaps tacit and vaguely defined) of at least adding to a base of experience possibly so far as signifying a life-long and emotionally attached commitment.”

“Polyamorous people are wary of having others' values inflicted upon themselves, and so tend to stay very far away from making such pronouncements, to the point that they will actively ignore predatory behavior that is affecting their own "community.”

“(In reference to swingers) In the meantime, if you wish to declare yourself polyamorous, get used to the fact that the confusion is gong to remain as a pejorative. Sure, clear up the misunderstanding as much as you can, but don't put too much effort into setting yourself up as a "good", responsible, community-oriented polyamorist by contrasting yourself to the "bad" swingers - they may not be your siblings, but they're definitely your cousins.”

“In a sane world, a term like "chronic crisis" would be instantly seen by anone as an oxymoron. Nevertheless, that's the state that many of us Western Worlders live in, provoking crisis after crisis so that we can justify our dis-ease rather than addressing that directly.”

“Finlay snorted. "Fuck, if you keep on being so precious I'm really going to fall for you."
Folke froze in the midst of moving away to shrug off his chore coat. Both his lovers had grown silent and the air taut with uncertainty. Maybe even regret.
He wanted to ask, did you mean to say that?
More urgently, do you mean it?
Blurted, "Then my plan is falling into place.”

“I’ve had a wonderful time, he wanted to say. Hoping Darach would catch the hint, that he wanted to continue, but elsewhere. Preferably in the privacy of their home.
“This wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be,” Folke blurted instead.
Thank goodness his lover had a sense of humour, expelling it against his mouth in short bursts.”

“Better not close them,” he said in a murmur so low, Folke wouldn’t have heard him if he weren’t right by his ear. “I want to look into those baby blues when I fuck you.”

“He had plenty of books. There was no need to get more.
Footfalls came up behind him.
Rereading never hurt anyone, in fact it was fun. It let him pick up details previously missed. No need to go all the way to town and be around people.”

“Folke sat in the car.
Alone, with Darach.
Thomas was out to shop for supplies, and Finlay. . . He didn’t know where Finlay had gone. So it was just him and Darach and very little space between them. The excuse Folke had come up with, quietly to himself, was that he expected Finlay to squeeze in any moment now.
Yet those moments ticked by. The rain pattered the rooftop.
And Darach smelled of wilderness, and he was warm. His breaths serene while Folke’s rabid heart threatened to give away…
What?
Between the throbbing of his skull and longing to return to the cottage, Folke burned with a need to reach out. Discover all the indentations Darach’s hand featured. How pronounced his knuckles were. If there were any scars.”

“Finlay murmured, “We’ll have you begging for both of us in no time,” into his hair.
Words that had Folke gripping more fiercely at Darach’s shoulders, thoughts turning hysterical with the idea of both men inside him.”

“That was a risky thing ye did, Folke.”
He swallowed harshly, sliding his rebuttals back into the chamber. Ready and willing to fire.
“You’re the one who left a mark.”
“Aye.” A scrape of Darach’s chair. “An’ I’ll do it again.” His footsteps rounded the table, drawing close. “And again.” Folke’s heartbeat reared inside his rib cage. “As many times as it takes.” Breath hot over his ear. Teeth sharp on the shell. “Until it’s permanent.”
