Not always. I've known some weird combinations... Like one of my old girlfriends was poly and took up with a new primary who said she couldn't see bois (or boys) anymore, but she could continue to see girls, although he preferred it if he were around. Now, setting those kinds of restrictions in a supposedly poly relationship demotes him to "boy" > I could be mistaken (HAH!) but people in monogamous relationships have been > known to do that as well... at least until they've figured out how > interested they are in the new prospect. *ROFL* True dat... I can't say I find the prospect of monogamy all that promising. Well, ENFORCED monogamy. I'm poly (obviously) but don't currently really have other partners. We agreed to leave the prospect open of having other lovers and/or relationships, but if we never do, oh well. ****** NyteMuse "Call her life unnatural, feel her undead breath.
