Just the word can sometimes feel like a bomb dropped! For me at least. I've never had a good relationship with the concept or the practice. I tried. With enthusiastic consent? Only for a brief time and even then it was the wrong kind of enthusiasm. My very first meaningful relationship was poly before poly was a word.

What does being monogamous mean to you? Is it as simple as sexual and romantic exclusivity? I don't think so. Can monogamy be negotiated like non-monogamy can? I would like to think so, but the cultural wall seems tall and wide. If negotiable, what elements could be negotiated?

If some things can be looked at in a non-binary manner. I believe all things can be. Why not the relationship between monogamy and non-monogamy?
