This is the one that gets me every time. It doesn't make you a radical free spirit to know someone that you love but never want to have sex with; all it means is you have discovered "having a good friend". Calling it polyamory is just asinine.

This is what I don't get either. Why the gently caress do these assholes invent all these new terms? Holy poo poo they're dumb and insane.

to make it easy, I write up contracts in triplicate (Hehe) for everyone so that we all know whats what and who gets how much sex time and how much eye contact and most importantly the cumming order.

"The fact is, although love is not a limited resource, and that is the beauty of polyamory, time and attention are limited resources. It's never going to be perfect, and it doesn't make sense for us to idealize the poly lifestyle. It has its downsides. But on the whole, it's worth it."

This paragraph just doesn't compute for me, how can you with a straight face say love is an infinite resource then in the next breath admit that attention and time aren't. Do these people truly believe that investing half the time, energy, and affection into an individual partner than a mono person does is investing the same amount of 'love'?

Yeah but

When a gf tells she's starting yoga classes that's the time to break up. Less time investment on me = less love

The goon who made this should have his name included to ensure he is properly shamed at every opportunity.

The two greatest artists of our time, Neil Gaiman and Kanye West, have both espoused the virtues of polyamory. Maybe we're all wrong and they're right.

anyone talking about their werid alternative relationships should have a popup listing their history of abuse

At this point I just assume anyone who's fat, dyed their hair "Wacky" colours and has poo poo tattoos isn't worth getting to know unless you fancy sitting there while they list off everything that's wrong with them, what's wrong with you and how you should feel bad about it.
