Lately I’ve seen a lot of focus from mainstream media (television, news and magazines) on the polyamorous lifestyle so I figured I’d share my thoughts on the matter:
The 60’s opened up free love, becoming comfortable with sex, and even casual/recreational sex.
The 70’s shifted towards swinging and geared us up for the pill-popping, coke snorting 80’s
The 90’s were all about homosexuality becoming publicly acknowledged even if it wasn’t accepted.
At the turn of the century the lines got blurry and bisexuality was all the craze.
I believe from a mainstream perspective, polyamory will be the next bisexuality. After that, who knows? They’re all just stages in the sexual evolution of human-kind.

I’m not sure if it’s going to by poly or kinky that becomes more “mainstream”. I’m leaning more towards kinky because of all the new people we’re seeing come into the community lately. Some of our groups have easily doubled in size in the last five years (one surpassed 1000 people recently) and the parties consistently top over 100 folks (compared to about 40-50 five years ago).
