In quotations,
From a dear friend.
"Outsiders seem to immediately equate polyamory with the prototypical "swinging" lifestyle; a shallow sex driven narcisistic constant orgy with little regard for any participant beyond oneself. This bothers me. In my admittedly short experience, the truth is closer to a constantly expanding family of highly individual people, each orbiting multiple others; rapidly reorienting on one relationship or another as they move through life; then swinging back around like some kind of eclectic comet. The metaphor holds true in a number of ways; when relationship goes nova or even just gets a little hot, the whole system is affected."
