I have a woman lover, R, and a male friend-with-benefits, S. R and S are seriously involved with each other. We usually see each other in pairs, but we have the occasional threesome, which gives rise to some amusement as we all try to practice good poly manners.

R and S are serious about each other, and R is S's official "girlfriend," as opposed to the positions that the rest of us occupy. So when the three of us are together, I defer to R when it comes to things about S, because she's higher in S's hierarchy than I am. R goes out of her way to include me in things with S, because she doesn't want to abuse her position or to make me feel left out.

R and I are the newest serious couple, so it's easy for us to just fall into each other and forget all about S. R and I both make sure that this doesn't happen, and we make an effort to include S back in if we've gotten a little too into each other, so that he doesn't feel left out.

I tend to be more attracted to women than to men, but this isn't S's fault, and I make an effort to lavish as much enthusiasm on him as I do on R.

S and I have been flirting with the idea of my becoming his dom for awhile (haven't gone there yet because I've been ill), and I make sure not to do things that I know will put S into sub mode when the three of us are together, since that might not sit so well with R.

S was the one who introduced R and me, and since he enjoys the testament to his matchmaking skills that we are, he often encourages us to be together, even though that might result in his getting less attention.

Does it sound as if there might be a lot going through our heads? :)

During our last threesome, a couple of weeks ago, when S wanted to have intercourse with somebody, I deferred to R, and she graciously deferred to me, and when it looked like we were about to do, "After you, my dear Alphonse" all night, S said to me, "Well, I've fucked her since the last time I fucked you, so it's your turn," reducing things to the kindergarten-but-clear "whose turn is it" level.

Good manners for polyamory -- don't leave home without 'em. :)
 
Hee hee-- a brand new branch of etiquette is on its way!

The last time Mr. Omega had an outside interest, she was totally respectful of our primary relationship, and we quickly became friends. I told her "Just give me the eye, and I'll get out of your way."

But I walked in on them in the sack one evening, and was kinda overwhelmed by this woman's beauty-- she was making some fierce eye contact, and I was just staring back into her beautiful eyes...

The next day, she said; "I gave you the eye and you didn't leave!"

I said; "I was paralyzed!"

So we figured out a different set of signals. :D

I think that's why I favor group marriage and a communal farm. I think it would make things easier. A group apartment house would work just as well for the urbane. Still, if the court rules the right way on Prop 8, this may be something we need to look at seriously. *nods sagely to self*

Aww, that's so cute!
 
I don't mean to be rude... I just get dorky once in a while:eek:

A lot of straight women roll their eyes and wonder what's wrong with men, that they get tongue-tied when there's a pair of naked breasts in the room. I've always understood completely -- a naked woman makes me lose 20 IQ points. For a naked woman that I like and am attracted to, double that. Unless a person is obscenely intelligent to begin with, their level of intelligence begins to approach that of pond scum when in the presence of someone they have a crush on.

One has to wonder what evolutionary value this could possibly have. :)

Two principle instincts -- procreation and pleasure. Combine them, and you've got a no-brainer.

Literally. ;)
 
Or,as the old saw goes, "Men have enough blood to run either their brains or their penises, but not both at once."
