My poly dynamic consists of 3 other people besides myself. I take my relationships very seriously, more than one person can and will be affected by the decisions that I (or others) make. Like with all relationships, honesty, trust, integrity, boundaries etc should be a major part as well as being able to spend time with those who need you on all aspects not just sexually. For me, it's not about sex, for some sex can be intimate part of the relationship. Connection and respect should be included as well. There is no jealousy, I will not tolerate it whatsoever. There is no searching of anyone's phone, tracking their texts or emails (yes, there is an app for that) We all have lives before we have met each other and we continue to do so within the dynamic. BUT,when someone needs me, I will be there for them. No matter what the issue is. There are times I won't be able to be for them physically/sexually, there are other aspects that are more important. I will keep in contact to see how was their day, were they able to relax etc. There is too much bullshit in the world that takes a toll on the mental aspect of a person. Calling me to vent, get a better perspective or whatever is on their mind helps alot.
That's why I my screen name was given to me. A queen takes care of those that are under her care in her kingdom (imho)*note the word care instead of rule*
also, BRAVING should be a part of our lives on a daily basis no matter what label we have given ourselves
