Polyamory myths I see again and again 1. Poly means you're less committed to your partner 2. Poly relationships don't last as long 3. If you're poly you must like casual sex/have a higher sex drive/are promiscuous 4. If you're poly you must be with more than one person

1. I know plenty long-term married poly people with kids 2.. In a study I did people's primary poly relationships lasted as long as mono ones 2. I know some poly people who don't even have sex, and most rarely have casual sex 4. Some poly ppl are dating 1 person and like it

Would you possibly have a link to the study? Or point me in the right direction? There isn't much research on this (oddly), but what does exist at least tentatively supports your assertion.

I have my own data and I made a kinda shitty writeup of it a while ago; I'm going through it again and hope to republish it better on my blog soon!
