I’m a poly, kinky, pagan, heteroflexible, sex-positive, pro-feminist, almost-forty white male. I've done a lot of different things in my life, but right now I am a full time graduate student.

Time is the one thing you can never have enough of, and time management is an essential relationship skill, particularly for poly people. There are only so many hours in the day, and after all of the stuff you have to do, figuring out how to juggle your partners and their wants and needs can be daunting.

One of the first things you learn in the polyamory world is that there are at least as many ways to be poly as there are people who are poly.

I always love it when the Universe provides me with ready-made answers, don’t you? When I was first asked to write a column on polyamory for fearlesspress.com, I was immediately hit by all the possibilities. What to write about first? Where to start?
