| Polyamory |
| Polyamory is having more than one love, and in the D/s lifestyle, it is a Master having more than one submissive or slave. "Poly" meaning, many. "Amory" meaning, loves. It is often assoiciated with the word polygamy, which is where someone has more than one husband or wife. |

| Being polyamorous in a D/s relationship has many praises and pitfalls, and certainly is not for everyone. Many feel unable to be in a poly relationship because that means sharing their Master, who they usually love and become protective of, even as a submissive or slave. On the up side of poly, it can be a great way of living in the D/s lifestyle. Just think, the subbie or slave has others to share all the duties and chores with, as well it can be very helpful when one is bisexual. Also, if you have 4 people living in a house with one another and all are working... then the Master's paycheck can go towards the house bills and groceries and such, while the other three paychecks can go towards those small frivalous things for the house, as well as help save money for vacations and entertainment. Frivalous things and vacations are not needed, but can certainly make things more enjoyable for everyone. The larger the house income - the more oppourtunities. |

| Polyamory can seem pretty enticing to a lot of people. For example, how many people in a monogomous (one to one) relationship do you see cheating during the relationship? Many will say that being poly is just an easy way to cheat - that is not what it is, it is sharing your experience (as a submissive) in a D/s relationship with another person, and having someone you can talk to who is also a submissive. As far as being easy, it is far from easy, there is always compatibility problems of people living with one another (especailly women), as well as dealing with patience and jelousy, not to mension - the more people, the more opinions, needs and wants. |

| When considering a poly relationship, one must take into account all the ups and downs, pros and cons. As well as making sure that the submissive or slave can be happy and healthy with the choice to be polyamorous. If a D/s couple has decided to become poly, they must decide on the other members to join the relationship together and make sure that both agree with the thrid, or fourth, or fifth party.. It's changing the relationship to a 3 way of 4 way street etc.. meaning more keys to accomplish both ways. |
