Poly Discussion with Tamara Pincus at The DC Center
7:00pm
Free, $5 donations appreciated
"Polyamory is the practice, desire, or acceptance of having more than one intimate relationship at a time with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved. This group is designed to be a forum for people at all different stages to discuss polyamory and other consensual non-monogamous relationships. Newcomers will be given a basic introduction into what polyamory is and what some of the advantages and disadvantages are. Attendees who are already in relationships will be given the opportunity to discuss their situations and get advice from the group if they feel that would be helpful. We will cover a variety of topics including coming out as poly to parents, managing jealousy, managing polyamory with kids and whatever other issues people have on their minds."
