Join Community To Learn And Normalize
- Seek community groups (gendered or interest-based) to learn, share, and avoid shame while exploring non-monogamy.
- Mr. Jones recommends regular guy/ladies groups to normalize questions and vulnerability.
Life Stage Colors Non-Monogamy Choices
- Season of life shapes how much community and non-monogamy people can maintain (kids, time, travel).
- Younger generations appear more open-minded about relationship structures.
Start With A Practical Polyamory Definition
- Define polyamory broadly as maintaining more than one concurrent romantic and/or sexual relationship.
- Use that definition as a starting point, then tailor to individual configurations and agreements.
