7 Questions To Ask Yourself Before You Begin Polyamory
It’s time to prepare yourself to step into the unknown.
Starting your journey into ethical non-monogamy is stepping into the unknown. Whether you feel certain this is who you are or if you are dipping your toe to see if ENM might be right for you, the one thing I can guarantee is you don’t truly know what’s ahead of you.
You might think you do, but believe me, you don’t. I’m lucky enough to have a lot of friends who are, in some way, part of the ethically non-monogamous world, and not one of them found it to be what they were expecting.
So, in the interest of helping you through those first steps, I’ve pulled together 7 questions that you should ask yourself as you begin your journey.
What do you want?
It’s incredible how many people don’t honestly think about what they actually want out of ethical non-monogamy.
Are you wanting multiple sex partners? Do you want to play separately or with your partner? Are you looking for casual sexual interactions or long-term emotional relationships? Do you want your partners to be involved in your home life or kept at a distance? Do you have any specific kinks of fantasies you want to explore?
