What is "Solo Poly" anyway?

Описание: Cathy: What is solo poly and how would you live it? This is Dr. Liz from Sex-Positive Psych.

Liz: This is Cathy Vartuli from The Intimacy Dojo.

Cathy: And you define yourself as solo poly.

Liz: Yes.

Cathy: And I consider myself single poly, which is different and I’d love to help people understand that.

Liz: Yeah. So, polyamory means many loves. So it’s people who have multiple loving relationships at the same time with the full knowledge and consent of all those involved.

Cathy: Yes.

Liz: So someone who is solo poly which is sometimes called single-ish poly, it goes by some different names, are people who practice polyamory in a way that they do not intend to become part of a couple and they don’t follow the relationship escalator.

So relationship escalator, everyone has heard the children’s rhyme, first comes love then comes marriage then comes the baby with a baby carriage. The relationship escalator is a script that our culture has for what a relationship does from you like you meet, you date casually, you date more seriously, then your boyfriends and girlfriends, you’re making monogamous commitment. Then you move in with each other. Then you get engaged. Then you get married. Probably one of you cheats or both of you cheat. You continue with the escalator to having kids.
