Funny Bit of Searching

I had a weird compulsion to search out articles on Polyandry this morning. Dunno why really. I mean, I do lean towards it on the spectrum of Poly but I’m by no means a strict regulator of how my relationships develop.

While searching, I found a number of interesting (and some outright hilarious) articles and forum entries on the subject. A few of the posters took what I consider to be the enlightened view and pretty much adopted a “live and let live policy regarding non-monogamous relationships. As can be expected, there were that same minority that somehow were on a crusade against anything they didn’t know or understand. I tended to skip over them in favor of the few intelligent postings I found.

One thing I have noticed about my search is the growing prevalence of the term online. When I first started searching for it a while ago, you’d hardly find more than an article on Fraternal Polyandry in Tibet and Nepal. Even that was a fleeting link at best. Now there’s apparently people all over more openly discussing it on a wider variety of sites and forums and without the raucous condemnation one would expect. Also, if these mysterious forum people are to be believed, a lot more people are practicing the relationship style.

I’m glad it’s becoming more well known. More power to them says I. What goes on between consenting adults should be their business and no one elses.
