hi i just read ur post abt non-monogamous/OPP! I recently met a play partner who asked me to be apart of his poly household which was OPP. I currently have a bf and when he told me the details it entailed breaking up with my bf and never seeing my other partner as well. I totally felt devastated at the thought of that and told him thats a bit selfish for him as he can play w other women but the women in household cannot play w other men. im glad i came across the post it has eased my mind!

I hope you realize what a bullshit situation that is. Huge red flag to cut off your contact to other partners. This person just sounds straight up abusive tbh. Iā€™m really thankful you know better than to commit to something unfair like that.

Iā€™m just thinking that play partner must have either a hell of a one-penis or a hell of a house or else the other roomates have to be hella awesome to be troubled about rejecting that condition.Ā  Iā€™m sure Iā€™m getting caught up with the word ā€œplay partnerā€ but that seems like a pretty lightweight relationship category to give up all oneā€™s other pre-existing poly relationships for.

Going to be a little opinionated and judgmental here but One Penis Policies are a show of weakness for the penis owner in question.

I know Iā€™m not a Dom, and certainly not a Master, so I canā€™t really speak to the possibly-legitimate justifications of the kink.Ā  I also clearly donā€™t have the kind of Submissive insights that would help me understand why such a one-way relationship might be appealing.

Iā€™ll just say that one of the nice things about being a Daddy is that the possibility of Littles who have their own partners is kind of baked into the schemas that D/Lg borrows from real life.Ā Ā 

  • If everyone invoived is poly, well, then a Daddy can have more than one Little
  • If everyone involved is poly then a Daddy can be wistful about their Littlesā€™ partners, and appropriately protective, but everybody gets to grow up.

Iā€™m not saying itā€™s got to be that way – D/Lg is only an analogyĀ to parent/offspring dynamics and, like virtually all other kinks most D/Lg relationships are contentedly monogamous.Ā Ā 

Just saying that being a Daddy, as well as a fair, just, and… observant human being, doesnā€™t endear me to OPP (cough*conventional-polygamous*cough) relationships.
