PolyOz

For some, being polyamorous provides more love and support for the kids than does being in a monogamous household.

Polyamory -- the notion that committed love relationships can involve more than two consenting adults -- is a bit like swinging, with one key difference: Love and commitment are  the focus, not sexual hookups. For some, polyamorous relationships involve three or more adults, and no other new partners ever enter the equation. For others, polyamory becomes an even more fluid family dynamic.

Raising kids in a polyamorous household has its advantages, say polyamorists. After all, more adults means more hands to help with household chores such as doing laundry, making dinner, getting kids ready for bed and scheduling playdates. With more adults, there's also more money to go around. Kids enjoy the benefits of a large, extended family network. Polyamorous parents insist that their kids also learn valuable communication skills simply from watching their parents navigate the tricky terrain of managing more than one lover at a time.

POLYFIDELITY: THE CONTEMPORARY EGALITARIAN REINCARNATION OF POLYGAMY

-PRESENTED TO THE W. A. SEXOLOGY SOCIETY 17 FEBRUARY 1993

BY CARL W. TURNEY CO-FOUNDER BEYOND MONOGAMY INC.

TRIAD

You want to know how it will be

Me and her or you and me

You both sit there, with your long hair flowing

Your eyes are alive; your minds are still growing

Saying to me "What can we do now that we both love you"

I love you too

But I don't really see, why can't we go on as three

You are afraid, embarrassed too

No one has ever said such a thing to you

Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulder

Got a face like ice, just a little colder

Saying to you "You can not do that

It breaks all the rules you learned in school"

I don't really see, why can't we go on as three

We love each other it's plain to see

There's just one answer comes to me

Sister lovers -- water brothers

And in time, maybe others

So you see what we can do, is to try something new --

That is if you're crazy too

I don't really see why can't we go on as three
