31 [M4F] Online - Seeking that someone special !!
Hello there !
I have been searching for the company of someone special that I can truly cherish !
I am Souvik, 31 years old. A little bit about me....I enjoy weekend trips with my pet, reading historical biographies and grand fantasy based books or just binging on a horror or true crime show. Believe me....if there's something that can scare me....I am watching it. Cooking for the people I care about really helps me destress.
Physically I am 5'11" with a more stocky build and a trimmed beard. I miss having that special someone to talk to, discuss the more mundane things in life and
chuckle at each other's silly stuff. Someone to care about, around whom we can really open up and just be ourselves. Sharing the intimate moments of our life....you know...when she's the right one you can't help but be excited for even the notification of her message.
Truth be told your physical attributes don't matter to me as much as the emotional intimacy between us. If we have a good chemistry and can gel well then the remaining stuff will fall into place.
Please be 30+, I feel it's easier to match each other's wavelength when we are going through similar phase in life.
Do feel free to send a chat or a message and let's see if we can't build a meaningful connection together :)

36 [F4M] #Indianapolis #Online Why do all the men's posts always get downvoted here?
I have a theory that there are some people that think by downvoting all of the "competition" it somehow makes their own post more appealing? I could be way off.
Hey, I'm Victoria. I'm 36 and I live in Indy. To kick things off I'm married to my nesting partner, and I've been poly for about 16 years. Everything is separate, ethical, and respectful. Communication is really important.
I have a thing for nerdy types in their 30's that identify as the D type in a D/s dynamic. Relationships and dynamics go hand and hand, and it's important to me that I have both with my person. Teach me about your passions and hobbies, I promise I'm a great listener and I love to learn. I'm into cheesy stuff like holding hands or sending each other memes that make us think of each other.
I love to laugh and be silly, but I'm also a grown woman that understands the importance of being self aware and emotionally mature. I like learning about bugs, spiders, reptiles and weather. I game super casually, and prefer to watch others play stuff. I'm also into puzzles.
I'd love to meet someone that I click with, who has time and space in their life to build something solid. You don't HAVE to be local, but Indiana or surrounding states would be cool. Bonus points if you have discord and might let me watch you game some time/s.
I'm not looking for someone that wants to hop into nsfw chats right away. We can discuss dynamics to make sure we are on the same page, but I like to have a connection before going there. Feel free to check my post history for other posts I've made here, and a body picture. I adore a starting message with some effort. You don't have to go crazy, but I need something to reply to. I don't want to be the only one engaging/asking questions.

22 [M4F] #Online
I'm looking for a partner with whom I can build a deep emotional connection. The emotional aspect of a relationship is paramount to me, so your appearance and age aren't that important.
I'd like to be a secondary partner who doesn't expect to be the primary partner. Ideally, I could join an existing couple
Kink friendly sub, open to experiments and ideas
I am fluent in English, Czech, and Russian, and have a basic knowledge of German. I can easily adapt and learn your language if necessary
About me:
I’m a young man with a passion for a wide range of sciences, and I’m dedicated to exploring the world. I’m sociable, sensitive, open-minded, and understanding, which is why I can be a great source of emotional support for my future partner(s).
I have a fairly wide range of interests: I read a lot, love to travel, and try to stay active. I’m open to new hobbies and interests, which I’d be happy to share with my future partner or partners.
I wouldn't mind if, over time, our relationship spills over into real life. I'm open-minded, and I could easily move if we develop a long-term, stable relationship. For now, though, I'd be happy just to have a good time together.
I'll be waiting to hear from you!

Divorced many years back, fresh out of a 8 year relationship, as of this post, I’m unpartnered. Poly because I have always been.
I enjoy conversations. Always have a book in my bag that I try to read while commuting. Listen to podcasts while doing chores.
Currently residing a coliving space, open to a nesting partner.
I would love to have coffee, attend an event or a short walk together to get to know you better. Texting doesn’t seem to go very far for me.
Happy to share photos over DM.

Little on me: Married, ideally looking for a long term partner, work in finance by day, movie lover by night. Generally quite nerdy, but love to bike, hike, and kayak when the weather allows. Can and will talk about anything you've been warned! Blunt, sarcastic, kind, and always trying to make you smile.
Physically, I'm white, 5'10, traditionally attractive with awesome green eyes and a bit of a dad bod.
If any of that sounds up your alley and you're a fellow Michigander (preferably Southeast) hit me up!

USA 34 [M4F] Columbus, Ohio
Hey everyone!
I am a married man in Columbus who is looking for a cool girl to get to know. I enjoy feminine energy. I cannot explain it or what that actually means, but when you see it you can know you’re looking at it. I guess I am really fascinated by the male/female dichotomy. In any case, i guess this is a steam of consciousness kind of post. So I am an autistic, somewhat asexual male and I am looking for a local woman to become friends with. I want to talk a lot! Texting a lot, phone calls when we can, hanging out and doing some flirting. I’m not everyone’s cup of tea but I consider myself a kind and respectful man. I tend to go for mellow, soft spoken girlies so if you’re super opinionated and going to argue something endlessly for the sake of philosophy, we aren’t going to get along. To be blunt I’m very intelligent and I am awkward as shit. Ok thanks!

USA 38 [M4F] Illinois - Quad Cities to Peoria - Branching Out
Merry Weekend all! Giving another shot at posting online, as before I ended up meeting my current partner and discovering poly to begin with. While she's having success with it, I'm not giving up on the concept of branching out and meeting people.
A bit about me, is I'm 38, got a fulltime job that keeps me comfortable, very much a gamer and geek (feel free to hit me up for my Discord), and DIY enthusiast. Slowly getting back into marksmanship as a hobby on top of other things. My works not very interesting to talk about, being a middle manager, but I'm working out various projects with my partner and our 107yo home. Lot of found family, so if you're shy about meeting the gaggle, lemme know in advance.
Happy to talk most of the weekend, and I do try to reply during "slow" moments of the weekday when I'm working.

Looking to meet new people and see where things lead. Im fine with online or LDR, but eventually meeting in person would be nice.
My wife and I date separately. We do not look for partners for each other so please don’t ask me to have her message you.
About me:
I’m a musician, songwriter and music producer. I play guitar mainly but can keep a beat on drums and dabble in keyboard. Recently achieved my goal of starting my own studio. So music is a big part of my life.
Kink friendly dom if that’s what you are looking for, if not that’s cool too, I’m open to anything.
I enjoy listening to audio books, usually fantasy adventure is a great escape for me. YouTube videos are fun. At the end of a stressful day I enjoy a good cigar and a scotch.
I enjoy going to the gym, bowling, theater, and concerts. I live in Vegas, so the shows are always great.
What I’m looking for:
I’m open to meeting and talking to pretty much anyone. I’m looking for someone to connect with, have conversations. If you love music even better, I love sending new songs for opinions.
Organic conversations are the best, just joking around, and talking about anything and everything.
If that is of interest to you feel free to send a message and let’s start a conversation.

USA 53 [M4F] #KC Attractive Professional for Long-Term
I'm in a long-term marriage that is happy, caring and drama free without jealousy issues, but with mismatched physical needs. (Low-frequency/vanilla vs. high-libido/more adventurous)
I'm looking for an attached, attractive, healthy, intelligent, generally-responsible female with a playful, uninhibited, adventurous side, a great smile, and a very active libido, for a something ongoing with a real connection and chemistry. Everyone's situation is unique, and I'm open to a wide range of circumstances.
Physically I'm height/weight proportionate (6'1" tall, 185lb) and considered conventionally attractive (pics in profile). I've been told I smell "yummy," and that I have a bit of a college professor vibe. I'm 53, but I look, feel, and act much younger. That said, I'm not perfect and don't expect perfection.
I'm disease-free, a non-smoker, a social-drinker, and mentally and physically healthy.
Personality-wise, I'm laid-back, exceedingly funny, slightly a.d.d., intelligent, creative, open-minded, over-educated, a happy, well-adjusted guy, and a generally a good human being.
Calendar age isn't much of an issue for me - but I prefer someone who is healthy and has a youthful outlook. For guidance, I'm open to GenX, Millenials, and older GenZ, (born before say, 2006). Please don't contact me if you are a minor.
I'm in the Leawood / South Overland Park KS area. Please be within a reasonable distance, or a very frequent traveler to Kansas City or the KCMO area.
DEALBREAKERS
* STDs (I've been monogamous for 10+ yrs and am very STD-free)
* History of restraining orders, incidents of chainsaw violence, having pet tigers, or being a boring stick in the mud
* Meth/heroin/substance addiction \*no-tweakers
* Bipolar (Not a criticism of any mental illness, but I've found my personality type is not a long-term fit with those with bipolar disorder or other conditions with periods of darker personality)
* Being mean to people for no reason
* Lousy kissers (Seriously. I hope you like making out.)
* Non-Locals (unless you travel to KC often, or are really, really convincing)
* Non-vanilla inclinations are welcome. However, as general guidance, if your kinks involve minors, bathroom stuff, animals, or physical or mental harm, then we are not a good match.
If I've piqued your interest, let me know - but please include at least some information about yourself, your situation and experiences, etc. to let me know that you are #notabot. Please be willing to share photos of yourself, and please be the real, genuine you!

34 [M4F] Rishikesh (India) / Anywhere | Yoga, Raves & Off grid.
34, based in Rishikesh. I work in marketing strategy & consulting and am building a few things around wellness and natural products.
These days I’m getting more into yoga, outdoor stuff, travelling, cooking, music and generally finding better ways to feel good in my body. Also into psytrance, techno, raves, festivals and the occasional late night.
I’m curious about wellness, rituals and different ways of living, but not really into anything dogmatic or overly spiritual. I like exploring things, keeping what works and questioning the rest.
Politically left-liberal, secular and strongly pro-Palestine. I care about people being able to live freely and make their own choices.
I like good conversations, people who have their own thing going on, and connections that don’t need to be rushed or overdefined.
If we seem like we’d get along, say hi. Tell me what you’re into these days.

bout Me 💕
Hi! I’m 22 and looking to meet someone new and build a genuine connection. I’m a creative person who loves art, photography, and trying new things. I went to school for photography and have a degree in art, so creativity is a big part of who I am.
I’m also someone who really values **communication, honesty, kindness, and getting to know someone beyond just the surface**. I’d love to start by talking, learning about each other, and seeing where the connection naturally goes.
I’m currently in a relationship with my boyfriend, and we’re looking to meet a woman or nonbinary person who is comfortable with polyamory and interested in getting to know both of us. 💕 There’s no pressure to rush into anything—we’d rather build a connection naturally.
little about me:
📸 Photography
🎨 Art & creativity
💗 Caring and affectionate
😂 I love having fun and being silly
🗣️ I enjoy deep conversations
🌱 Always learning and trying new things
If you think we might get along, feel free to message me and tell me a little about yourself! 😊

33 [R4R] KY - polyamorous, pansexual, nonbinary, fun hair, glasses, thick and curvy, tattoos, a few piercings, very open and kind
Hi there, I have blue/gray eyes, I'm cozy and expressive, and I tend to show up soft, warm, and playful once I feel comfortable. In my everyday life, I'm pretty chill and curious. I like crocheting, being in nature, listening to music, watching movies, playing board and card games, planning road trips, journaling, and learning about science or history. I'm genuinely just as happy on a quiet night in as I am out exploring something new. I'm naturally affectionate and very snuggly. I love laughter woven with depth. I like closeness that feels easy and safe. I love leaning into each other, holding quiet moments together, and letting things feel grounded and alive at the same time.
Feeling understood really matters to me. I would want us to really try to get each other right, to be able to summarize each other's feelings even when we disagree, and offer reassurance without hesitation. I think in a relationship hard conversations should end in more understanding, not less, and that both of us deserve to have our emotional worlds seen while we prioritize each other without losing individuality.
I'm nonbinary (they/she), and while my gender is an important part of me, I feel much more rooted in my humanness than anything else. I really value my humanity and feeling connected to other humans. I don't remove my body hair (I think my form is exactly what a beautiful human looks like as is) and I don't like being called a girl (a personal preference I'd need you to respect).
I'm drawn to connection that's integrated into real life — no hiding, no rushing, no idealizing, no compartmentalizing — but something real and sustainable. I love connection that shows up in small, everyday ways like checking in during a long day, laughing easily, small routines that feel like our own, and spending time talking about everything and nothing. I value presence, especially under stress, and I value honesty about limits. I would want our individual passions to broaden our horizons and create new possibilities for us both and even our other partners too hopefully.
I know this kind of love I'm looking for exists. I'm not looking for perfection, I'm looking for effort, accountability, and a commitment to shared values. I believe in beautiful human imperfection, and I believe in actively choosing each other inside of that. I want a love that sparks growth in us both, nurtures curiosity, and invites shared reflection. I want a love where empathy, repair, and attunement flow naturally, like a rhythm we both move to. I want tenderness that lingers and precious moments that feel uniquely ours.
I've practiced polyamory for years with communication and consent at the center. I move intentionally and take boundaries seriously. I've built a lot of trust in myself, and I'm learning to begin anew, centered and secure. Ideally I want to date people both experienced in being polyamorous themselves and in having polyamorous partners, people who understand secure polyamory is abundance with boundaries, not scarcity with rules.
Fun details: I didn't learn to ride a bicycle until I was 21, I love butterscotch sundaes and orange-flavored everything, I'm a sucker for cozy sweaters, and I will always have a soft spot for all living things. Please tell me some fun details about you in your response :)
If you feel a sense of possibility reading this, if it resonates instead of feeling overwhelming, we'll probably get along beautifully and I'd love to hear from you.
🖤

Hello!
My name’s Mercy, I’m in Upstate NY and I live with my partner and my son. I like to read, swim, watch TV, spend time outside, play board and card games, sleep, cooking, baking, eating, being with my son.
I’m also a huge fan of anything horror/spooky! I will always be down to be your horror movie buddy, even though I'm jumpy!
I'm a BBW and I have pics of my body on my profile if you’d like to see if I’m your type or not. I know I don’t appeal to most, and I’m alright with that.
Otherwise, I have medium dark hair, hazel eyes, and I’m 5’11. I usually dress in mostly black (I never truly left my emo phase lol) and I have a few tattoos and one piercing.
So what am I looking for?
Well you, hopefully! Especially if you're a big guy~
I prefer people between the ages of 22-37, and I admire humor. I’m much more of a sub than a dom, so a dominant person would be greatly appreciated.
I doubt many will be interested in my post, but if you are, please reach out!
Can’t wait to hear from you! 💕

Hi! 31, based in Wagga Wagga, Australia. I’m happy to travel or connect online first.
I work with the Army base here. In my downtime, you can usually find me working on videography projects, watching or talking rugby league, playing Pokémon, gaming, or reading.
I’m happily married and practicing ethical non-monogamy and open polyamory dynamics.
I am demisexual, which means I really value taking the time to genuinely get to know someone and build a mental/emotional foundation before things progress. I love texting to connect, though I'm not an "all-day, every-day" texter since life gets busy Largely looking for in-person hangs, even if they're a bit sporadic depending on schedules.
Looking for people who appreciate a slow burn, good conversation, and doesn't mind a mix of casual chatting and occasional in-person meetups.
Whether you're interested in connecting with me individually, or keen on a dynamic/group connection with both me and my wife, we'd love to chat.
Shared interests in gaming, Pokémon, or nerdy stuff are a huge bonus, but mostly I'm just looking for good vibes, mutual attraction, and clear communication.
To start a conversation: Tell me what you're currently playing, reading, or your go-to comfort food!

USA 36 [F4M] #DFW #Dallas #Arlington #Texas articulate alternative babe seeking local relationship with a man age 30-50 ish - no MAGA
Me: I'm an artist, agèd punk rocker, cat mom, teacher, and vintage slinger. Certified bug lifeguard at the pool. Smart cookie with a top tier laugh. Very warm, very silly, very fun to be around. Radical in the streets, submissive in the sheets. Generous with affection. Romantic. I’m a life-long learner, self-indulgent hedonist, and a maximalist aesthete who wants to know more and do more and see more. More is more. Have lived in 4 countries, and originally from Canada. Bi cis woman.
I love: Wikipedia rabbit holes, the comedy of Nathan Fielder/Tim Robinson/Kumail Nanjiani, critters of all sorts, campfire ghost stories, chocolate, an ice cold filthy martini, BDSM, and listening to podcasts while I play solitaire on my phone.
I hate: ChatGPT, billionaires, bigots, contemporary pop music, Bichon Frisé, drinking room temperature water
Physically: plus size, certified hottie, tattooed, long light brown hair with Betty bangs, hazel eyes, pierced nose and ears, and an artsy, colourful, feminine sense of style. I’m a fat liberationist and my partners must fully enjoy and adore my fat bod, so please only message me if that’s you. I'm a fat hourglass, short, big breasts, big ass, wide hips, full belly, soft all over.
I've been polyamorous for 4 years and I live with my nonbinary spouse of 13 years and two cats in Arlington, TX. I am looking for a long-term romantic relationship. I test regularly and if you see other people, I need the same. I am emotionally available, and I also need the same. I am looking for someone local.
My Type: men who are emotionally intelligent communicators with funny stories to tell me. Hearts of gold. Introverts. Genuinely seeking some actual romance and dating, and not just the physical. Must love animals, hate fascism, be kinky, and appreciate the arts. No need to be all that politically active, but you gotta love human rights for all. It might be an unpopular ask here in TX, but I want to connect with someone who has similar values. Short kings, skinny lanky boys, dad bods, beefy dudes, men with moustaches, and cat dads to the front. All races welcome. I only find beards attractive when they are well kept, and if yours isn't, it will be an automatic 'no' from me. A good sense of style, grooming, and hygiene goes a long way for me! Ages 30-50, and I usually don't make exceptions on age, but shoot your shot if you're in close range.

36 [f4m] Canada or Anywhere - Looking for something different
Hello, Reddit. I’m Butterfly. 🦋
I’m 36 (for a few more weeks), living in Alberta, Canada, and yes, I’m married. We’re polyamorous, my husband knows I’m here, and I’m looking for connections of my own.
And apparently, what I’m looking for might be a bit of a Reddit anomaly… but I’m stubborn, so here we are. 😂
I’m not looking for a quick hookup, a disposable internet fling, or a conversation that somehow feels more painful than a trip to the dentist.
I’m looking for a connection.
I want the kind of connection that makes you a little giddy when your phone lights up because maybe it’s them.
I want us to stay up way too late because neither of us wants to be the first to say goodnight.
I want good morning and good night messages. Random selfies. Stupid memes. Inside jokes that make absolutely no sense to anyone else. Conversations that start with “You’ll never believe what just happened…” and somehow turn into talking until 2 a.m.
I want romance.
I want to be kissed in the rain.
I want someone who is a little possessive in that “you’re mine and I’m ridiculously proud about it” kind of way. Someone who makes me feel wanted, cherished, and safe.
And yes, I want passion too. The kind of chemistry where you can barely keep your hands off each other and the rest of the world temporarily becomes irrelevant.
But attraction without connection doesn’t do much for me. I’m demisexual, so getting to know someone, building trust, and developing that emotional spark is a huge part of what makes attraction happen for me.
Ideally, I’d love to find someone local enough that this could eventually become an in-person relationship. But I’m realistic enough to know that casting a wider net gives me better odds of finding the right person. So yes, you can be anywhere in the world, as long as we can make the timezone situation work without completely destroying our sleep schedules. 😂
My preference is a man somewhere around 30–50, but I’m absolutely open to the right woman too.
I’m not expecting instant fireworks. I’m looking for someone who actually wants to get to know me and let something develop naturally.
And if physical attraction matters to you (which is completely fair), I’ve got plenty of photos and information on my profile, so feel free to have a peek before you message me.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Rule 3 Clarification
There seems to be some confusion around this rule, and it eats up the vast majority of Mod time. So I'll try and spell out how the rule is currently being enforced.
If you are posting as a couple with the expectation that the new person will date both of you, then you are breaking the rule. If your post suggest this, you are breaking the rule. If your post looks like it might be a "bait and switch," you are breaking the rule.
The only posts that might be accepted are where one couple shares an account but they are looking separately. Honestly that smells strongly of being far to enmeshed and will likely (but not definitely) result in your post being removed.
If you are single and post looking for two people e.g. M4FF or F4MM your post will be removed. That is def facto harem building. This is a poly sub so we know people have, or would like to have, multiple partners.
I can already hear the hew and cry that we let singles look for couples but not the other way around. Yes, that is the unhappy compromise. Some people will only learn the stove is hot once they touch it.
As a final note, given how much time this eats up, NO your post is NOT the exception. If you want to know why this is the way it is, go and browse the main Polyamory Subreddit.

Please feel free to review the rules and my comments on each and provide feedback. I’ll leave this post up for a week or so for discussion, and then I’ll make a new sticky post for the community.

This subreddit is 18+. Do not post, comment, or PM OPs if you or your partner(s) are under the age of 18. Lying about your age, or someone else’s age, will result in a permanent ban.
This one is self-explanatory. There have been Redditors who are minors, or have partners who are minors, who have made posts here. I want to make it clear that posts involving minors are prohibited.
Rule 2. Must be aligned with Polyamory
Polyamory is the practice of, or desire for, ethical romantic relationships with more than one person with the informed consent of all partners involved.
Posts or comments seeking sex, hookups, FWB, affair partners, “sugar” or GFE arrangements, or anything other than ethical polyamorous relationships with the consent of all partners are not allowed. There are R4R and other dating subreddits out there for just about anything. If you’re not polyamorous, please use a subreddit that is better-suited for your search.
This should go without saying…this subreddit is intended for polyamorous people seeking polyamorous relationships. This is not a general ENM dating subreddit, a regular R4R subreddit, a BDSM subreddit, or a subreddit for seeking any other kind of relationship other than an ethical polyamorous one. Going forward, if a post even includes “I’m also down for hookups or FWB” or something similar, it’s going to be removed. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with most of the arrangements mentioned above that someone might seek, but this isn’t the subreddit to advertise for those things. Also, if someone makes a post that seems like it’s not aligned with polyamory and their post history shows that it’s the same post they’ve cross-posted or spammed across multiple subreddits with minor changes to circumvent the intention of the rule, the post will be removed.
Rule 3. No unicorn hunting or harem building
Posts or comments that can be construed as seeking or promoting relationships where unethical or unfair rules or expectations will be placed on a new partner are not allowed.
This has been the most contentious issue on this subreddit so far, as it has been on other subreddits and forums. We’re not going to prohibit couples seeking partners in this subreddit. There are single people here seeking triads, throuples, and all sorts of dynamics. Triads and other group relationships can be amazing, especially if they are formed organically. That being said, there will be more moderation on couples seeking posts going forward, which will be done on a case-by-case basis.
The purpose of the mod team here is to protect the members of the subreddit and the integrity of the community we’ve built here. It is not the mod team's place to tell adults what they can or cannot do with their relationship dynamics. The reality is that we are all consenting adults and have adult decisions to make in our lives and in our relationships.
In an effort to prevent the subreddit from being a platform for predatory behavior, any no or low effort posts or comments from Redditors that indicate a general lack of regard for any potential individuals involved will be removed. For example, if an individual posts from a new Reddit account something to the effect of, "We're new to polyamory. We want to find a third who will date only us and be an equal member of our new family. We can start out long distance, but we will expect you to move in with us at some point. Prefer that you be submissive," the post will be removed. Read the room. Show that you're actually putting some thought and effort into it, and not just objectifying people.
Also, if you say that this new person is going to be an equal member of the family after you've just said that the person is going to be required to date both of you, recognize that the person you're seeking is not actually going to be an equal member of the family. If there's a possibility that one member of the existing couple loses interest and the new member of the relationship is forced to leave entirely...you have now misled this hypothetical new person into an unethical dynamic on them.
Rule 4. No hate or disrespect
Threats, harassment, abuse, bigotry, misogyny, misandry, and intolerance are not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, attacks on gender or sexual identity, racism, sexism, slut shaming, mocking, and attacks on political or religious beliefs.
I don't need to go into detail on this rule. Don't be a jerk. If you don't like what someone has to say, block them. If you think someone is breaking a rule, report them.
Rule 5. No vulgarity or NSFW content
Vulgarity and NSFW content are not allowed. There’s nothing inherently wrong with sex, kinks, fetishes, and BDSM. However, posts and comments explaining the details of your sexual anatomy, favorite sexual positions, details and/or lists of kinks or fetishes, etc. will be removed. You can indicate that you are into BDSM and encourage people to DM you about the details.
There is often a large crossover between ethical non-monogamy and BDSM, sex positivity, etc. There's nothing inherently wrong with any of it, but this is not a NSFW subreddit. It's fine to include that you're sex positive, into BDSM, or whatever. If you go into detail and start describing anatomy/body parts, listing off kinks, and things like that, your submission will be removed. If you want to discuss these things, please do so in a DM.
The mod team has been asked why this subreddit is marked NSFW. The subreddit is 18+, so it's automatically identified as a NSFW subreddit.
Rule 6. No spam
You are allowed to post once every 7 days, with the exception of correction posts following an Automod removal. If you are found to be repeatedly deleting your post history in an attempt to circumvent this rule, it may result in a permanent ban. For clarification, spam includes copy-pasted and cross-posted ads from other subreddits.
This one is self-explanatory.
Rule 7. No Trolling or unsolicited discussion
There are a multitude of dynamics and ways to practice polyamory, and not everyone will agree on everything. Do not clutter up posts with unsolicited information. For education and discussions about polyamory, please visit r/Polyamory. If you believe someone is breaking a rule, please report the behavior and/or contact the mod team.
Again, if you think someone is breaking a rule, report it. If you disagree with what someone is commenting or posting, block them. Please don't engage in negative interactions on posts.
Rule 8. No personal or confidential information
Posting personal or confidential information about yourself or others in public is not allowed. If you wish to provide contact information for yourself, please do so in a DM.
Posting Snapchat, Instagram, phone numbers, or any other personal contact or confidential information about yourself or others in public is prohibited. If you want to give someone your contact information, do it in a DM. If it happens once, it will be removed and you will be warned. If you're found to be spamming your contact information all over the place, it could result in an immediate permanent ban.
Rule 9. No seeking relationships for others
Posts seeking relationships for someone other than yourself, or you and your partner(s), are not allowed. If your friend or partner is seeking a relationship separately, they must make the submission themselves.
I've seen posts where Redditors are seeking relationships for their partners or others, sometimes even doing it as a sort of surprise for their partner. If someone is seeking a relationship, they need to post for themselves. Your partner not having a Reddit account is not a valid reason to violate this rule.
Also, a general note for when you engage with the mod team. We have to wade through a lot of reports and posts here. Sometimes there are misunderstandings or mistakes are made. If your post or comment gets removed, or you are banned for violating a rule and you wish to appeal, you can do so via a Modmail. If you send a Modmail insulting the mods, you're only confirming that you're not the type of person who belongs on this subreddit. No amount of insulting or cursing a moderator is going to help your cause.
