I strongly suspect meowthirteen, unlike Barry, has actually *read* the discussions and is astute enough to recognize how wildly and self-servingly off Barry's portrayal of them is. <snip> It's not particularly my > thing as it is a number of my friends' thing, > but I've learned much from their openness and > their willingness to treat sex and sexuality > as things that don't *require* rules, much less > the need to "obey" them. Actually, polyamory has quite a few rules about sex and sexuality. They may be different from one polyamorous group--or even couple within a group-- to another, but the one thing all polyamorists seem to agree on is that obeying the rules a group or couple has set up is essential for successful polyamorous relationships. Either Barry's polyamorous friends neglected to tell him that, or he immediately expunged it from his memory. Barry *really* doesn't like rules. (Except, of course, for the rules that keep other people from doing or saying what he'd rather they didn't do or say--that's why he's such a strong supporter of the posting limits.)
