#assumptions are damaging

phoenixfloe:

Too many assumptions are made about people who are polyamorous. You can be having sex with one person and be poly. You can be having sex with NONE persons and be poly. You can go six years having sex with the same person and still consider yourself to be existing in an open relationship with that person. These things HAPPEN. A LOT. You can share love with multiple people in vastly different ways. Polyamorous doesn’t always (or even usually, in my expereince) mean “I fuck a bunch of people all the time.” Polyamorous doesn’t even have to mean a person ever has sex. The term “amorous” doesn’t specifically denote sexual activity at all. Sexuality and intimacy come in infinite and unimaginably diverse forms. All (consensual ones) are valid and worthy of respect and privacy if so desired by those involved. Unless someone chooses to share this particular variety of magic with you, IT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. And why do people care anyway? How is it actually negatively affecting their own life enough to take the time out of their day to make broad assumptions and spread bullshit and shame people? Stop the assumptions. Stop the shame. Stop the hate.

Fuck yeah, feeling this ❤️
