Just because I’m poly, doesn’t mean I want to pursue every possible relationship opportunity that presents itself.

Just because I’m poly and a Domme, doesn’t mean that I want a harem of subs.

Just because I’m poly, doesn’t mean that I want to flirt with or fuck everyone I meet.

It means that when the time is right, with the right person, under the perfect circumstances, I have room in my heart for them.

Thank you!  Oh my goodness this is so well said!

Just like being bisexual doesn’t mean you want to have sex with everybody, being poly doesn’t mean you want to be in a relationship with everybody.  

And not to put too fine a point on it but just because someone’s monogamous doesn’t mean they still don’t like flirting, at least, and sometimes even fucking!  (Let’s check our stereotypes about monogamy too, they’re also demonstrably wrong.)

There are some extraordinarily prim but still authentically poly people out there in what amounts to lifelong “monogamous” relationships that just happen to be with two partners instead of one.  But even for those who are profligately promiscuous, their polyamory does not automatically give you a free pass into their beds.
