When I first got a message response to one of my online profiles, I looked at the guy as too “artsy” to have anything in common with me. My answer to the initial contact must have said as much because that was what prompted him to reveal that he too was polyamorous and in a relationship. As we cultivated our friendship, I talked to the
Last week, I had the privilege of getting to see the Dark Horse tour in Omaha. The headlining band was Nickelback but they weren’t the only group making an appearance. Alongside them were Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin, and Sick Puppies. Sick Puppies kicked off the night and, from the first note, they kicked ass. Their teenage
Part of the problem to some people that are polyamorous comes, not from their new relationships, but from their primary or existing partners. We all get that surge of New Relationship Energy (NRE) when we start a romance. It is hard for someone that is already in your life to watch that NRE blossom without feeling jealous or getting
It isn’t often that I run across a gadget that makes me excited but, today, while at my local drug store; I found the CARE Memory Band. With the popularity of the Livestrong bracelet, everyone seems to be sporting rubber around their wrist for one cause or another.

In my last tech article, I tried to present some facts about the possibilities of pursuing career prospects outside of the traditional setting. While the piece did give information, many of you responded by saying that it was outdated and generally uninteresting. After re-reading it, I have to admit that I left something out- the part about
It has taken several months and lots of introspection for me to reach a point that I could discuss my own poly dating life again. I started out writing for NerdyPerv about sexual antics and possibilities. Every article, whether nerdy or pervy, has required me to do a bit of research and then find my own voice. It is how I talk to you, the
Have you ever looked around at your cubicle and hated it? Have you ever sat in a classroom and wondered how you were ever going to apply that knowledge? Have you ever wished that you had the flexibility to do a job you loved during hours that were convenient for you? If so, I have a suggestion. Work for yourself. While earning my
Each and every time that I enter into a relationship, I find myself having to answer to those folks who seem to think that there is a schedule involved. Date one: Meet for drinks. Date two: Dinner. Date three: Serious kissing. These people have somehow got it into their heads that we are all supposed to move at the same pace and on the same time
Just because I am poly does not mean that every person that I date is or will be. In fact, with one exception, none of my relationships have been poly. There were those that were monogamous and they tended to be understanding of the poly life. These relationships had their ups and downs, some ended on good terms and others on bad. But my being
