My husband was in a poly relationship before we got together. He had a wife who had other relatioships, and he in turn had other relationships. I, in the other had had a husband and girlfriend. There was no room for cheating, and each relatioship ended for other reasons.

As things progresed there was a questions that kept comming up in my head. Do I have this poly relatioship because that's what I really feel or is it that I am so freaking sexual that I am just using this "poly" relatioship as an exuse to have my cake and eat it too.

I have found many BP people in other sites who are in poly (multiple) open relatioships. I have found BP people who love the book "the ethical slut" and recomend it.

Since one of the charactheristics of being BP is being a highly sexual being, Can we handle multiple relationships better than other people?
