Poly-Portugal mailing list

(English below) participação e moderação na lista electrónica PolyPortugal. membro desde 4.Jun.06. admin/owner desde 24.Apr.08 (texto extraido de http://laundrylst.blogspot.com/2009/01/polyportugal-em-5min.html) A lista PolyPortugal é um grupo de discussão e auto-suporte para pessoas que se interessam e/ou praticam o poliamor, e para quem Portugal ou a língua portuguesa é de algum modo uma referência. Alguns dos membros interessam-se também por tornar, activamente, a sociedade mais amistosa para com o poliamor em particular e para com a diversidade em geral. Por outras palavras, alguns de nós definem-se como activistas. O poliamor nem sempre é fácil de pôr em prática, e pode apresentar desafios novos, para os quais não há receitas nem tradições pré-existentes. Independentemente disso, muitas vezes, a sua vivência colide com valores mais tradicionais vigentes na nossa sociedade bastante normativa. Sendo assim, o PolyPortugal, na sua faceta de grupo de discussão e auto -suporte, é um fórum em que pessoas, diferentes entre si, mas com um interesse comum, podem ajudar-se mutuamente na busca de soluções para problemas comuns. (...) O link para o grupo não é publico. os membros são filtrados um a um, para evitar abusos, frequentes no passado, e para protecção da privacidade dos membros.

"One, Many, None" at Ladyfest, Viena

(german below) One, Many, None at Ladyfest (Antidote and Illy) Ladyfest,Viena, 2007 (complete report can be found here in portuguese) You are angry about the prejudices and norms attached to being or not being in a relationship. Your partner loves somebody else, but the love between you and hir is not over. You wonder how this is going to work out. You have more than one relationship or would like to and want to talk to others about multiple relationships and polyamory. You are polyamorous, you do not have a relationship right now and you wonder how to tell new romantic interests, that you can imagine having more than one girlfriend/.../boyfriend. You don’t recognise yourself in the available catalogue of possible relationship types. Friends, lovers, love of one’s live, family, sex buddies are not sufficient to describe your wishes and feelings for others. What different types of contact to others are possible? Do you have everyday experiences to recount? What about time management, compersion, jealousy, compulsive coupledom, the faithfulness principle and the monogamy commandment? This won’t be a lecture. We want to provide space to discuss wishes, real life stories, alternative relationship forms and more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Deutsch)

Eine, keine, viele. Workshop zu Beziehungsformen (Antidote und Illy) Wie ist das mit Zeitplanung, Resonanzfreude, Eifersucht, Pärchenzwang, Treueprinzip und Monogamiegebot? samstag/saturday 13-16 uhr, 1-4pm, i:da, zwölfergasse 9, 1150 wien

Du ärgerst dich über die Klischees und Vorurteile die damit zu tun haben, dass du oder dass du nicht in einer Beziehung lebst. Deine Liebste/.../Dein Liebster liebt noch jemanden, aber eure Liebe ist überhaupt nicht vorbei. Du überlegst wie das gehen kann. Du führst mehrere Beziehungen oder würdest das gerne tun und hast Lust dich mit anderen in Mehrfachbeziehungen und Polyamorie auszutauschen. Du bist polyamant, führst zur Zeit keine Beziehung und überlegst wie du neuen Bekanntschaften mitteilst, dass du dir gut vorstellen kannst mehr als eine Freundin/.../Freund zu haben. Du kannst dich in den vorhanden, verbreiteten Beziehungs- und Kontaktformen nicht wiederfinden. Freundin/.../Freund, Geliebte/.../Geliebter, große Liebe, Familie, Sexpartnerin/.../Sexpartner reichen nicht aus um deine Wünsche und Gefühle für andere Menschen auszudrücken. Welche verschiedenen Arten von Kontakt zu anderen kann es geben? Von welchen Alltagserlebnissen kannst du berichten? Wie ist das mit Zeitplanung, Resonanzfreude, Eifersucht, Pärchenzwang, Treueprinzip und Monogamiegebot? Wir machen keinen Vortrag, sondern machen Raum, um sich über Wunschvorstellungen, reale Geschichten, alternative Beziehungsformen und mehr auszutauschen.
