Going It Alone to The Floating World

By Indigo

This weekend was my first play event without my partner. My famous leather lover was off at a contest in San Francisco and left me in the protective care of a close friend at my first event as a single player, thanks to Polyamory! I had heard only good things about The Floating World…

Thanks, but no thanks!

By Sarah Sloane

Dear Sarah,

My problem isn’t so much about getting into a relationship, it’s about staying away from one! I am somewhat experienced in the BDSM scene, but I realized I’m having trouble saying no to people for play and sex…

NEGOTIATION 201

By Graydancer

I confess, I’m a “self-improvement” junkie. I love reading books on lifehacking, on how to get shit done, how to change your four-hour work habits for highly-effective Secrets of the 50 Cent Solution. At the same time, I tend to see the world through kink-colored glasses

The Trouble with Two Seeking One: A Message for the Ladies

By Indigo

Recently, my partner V and I have been celebrating our poly firsts. I had my first play date without her at Dark Odyssey Winter Fire and V has been traveling for the first time on her own which we have been calling “independent girl time.” We are both beginning to attend new events and parties that help us further explore various sexual practices and having sex with amazing hot individuals. Every day, we pat ourselves on the back for all the hard work we’ve done to get to this place in our poly relationship.

Polyamory and Play Events
