Mind if I ask you guys a question? It's completely unrelated to what you asked for. How does one become a poly? What made you choose to become one? I've also been running situations in my head about this lifestyle questions such as "how does one live like that?" and "How do you find such people to accept your lifestyle?". Please help me understand, this is not a troll question but as far as learning I would love to learn about polyamorous marriages.

Sure. No problem.
For us, it started with sex. After 12 or so years of marriage. We decided to open up and explore. It started as a swinger style arrangement, but we quckly gravitated more toward polyamory.
By contrast, my girlfriend and her husband have been open since day one.
Everyone is different. Thats the real beauty of it. Open relationships are non-traditional and are thus totally flexible and customizeable. Every open relationship is different depending on the wants and needs of thos in it.
We live in an interesting day and age where more and more non-traditional relationships are becoming more and more mainstream. Same-sex, poly, swinging, interratial.. you name it. Its all becoming more. Common and more acceptable.
If this is something that interests you, I'd suggest bouncing around the internet and reading. There are a lot of great resources, blogs, sites and info out there.
And yes, there is always /s/polyamory too.
Have fun. :)

I'm thinking you might have wanted to post this in one of the other subreddits. This one isn't so much about swinging or polyamory.
I've tried the swinging thing and a poly relationship, but ultimately it didn't work out. I've noticed that usually one person always wants it more than the other who seems to just be along for the ride.

Hi. I'm poly. Once I stopped trying hard to seek out sex and instead focus on doing what I wanted (aka, relaxing and having a good time) I found this part of my life so much easier. I've been approached about mutual attraction quite a bit lately and it still has me boggled that I don't even have to initiate things anymore.
