Hi all! I (36M) have been gradually exploring the open/ENM/poly community for quite a few years now -- initially more in theory (books podcasts etc) and then eventually more hands on. I've gone on a number of great dates and met some really wonderful people. But I've been thinking lately that I'd like to make more friends in the open/ENM/poly/kinky community, aside from the dating side of things -- just people to chat with, discuss day to day issues of ENM, etc -- things that vanilla/monogomous folks wouldnt relate to.

Any advice? Dating apps, etc doesn't really seem the ideal way to make friends like that. And, I'm straight, but for friendship happy to chat with any gender/orientation/etc. Thanks all, appreciate it!
