Big Gay Love

If I were in a polyamorous relationship, I think it would easier to pay my mortgage. Do gays have those? I know there are thruples and guys who get a regular amount of booty on the side, but are there households full of men who love and take care of each other (besides frat houses)? If so, are there communities -- like in Utah -- where this is common? I assume hot spots of homosexuality -- P-Town, Chelsea, San Fran, Baton Rouge -- probably have a few of these mens dens.

It might be entertaining to live with eight other guys in a relationship - four tops and four bottoms. There would be the neat freak, the cook, the horndog(s), the office manager, the landscaper, the caregiver, the brooding artist, and the Indian. It would be like Eight is Enough -- only with adults and no kids -- so I guess this version would be called Eight is Enough, Gurl. And Jimbo would be Nicholas.

The place would look fabulous. The meals would be delicious. The laundry would be Downy fresh (my job!). The sexual tension would be through the roof.

My only fears would be the drama, all the gonorrhea, and, of course, the chafing -- the same fears I had on that Atlantis Cruise! Still, the idea of all of us taking care of each other, paying all of my bills, and getting weekly pedicures, is intriguing. And once I saved up a good chunk of cash and paid off my real mortgage, I would leave the polyamorous lifestyle, like Screech leaving Celebrity Fit Club.

This weekend I'm having a slumber party with another gay couple. I consider this a babystep.

There's a plate of homemade wishes on the kitchen window sill...

I'm not so sure about four tops and four bottoms. I'm thinking two tops and six bottoms.

Still, I like the idea of the big group relationship. Think how easy it would be to buy in bulk.

I can't cook worth a damn, except in the bedroom. Ummm... maybe I can be the caretaker for all the pets (walking, grooming, feeding, vet care)? Build a chicken coop and provide farm fresh eggs daily to the commune? Or perhaps I could dust, mop, and sweep.

is this deep seated desire to join a fraternity in my 30's going to strike me too? cause if so I won't throw out my beer bong.

A slumber party sounds like fuN!

Sounds like a Fire Island share....except they're all bottoms.

I don't know if I could deal with that. A thruple or one other couple maybe. But a whole house full, all of the time, probably not. I likes my privacy you see. There are things I like to do alone sometimes.

I too suspect your ratio to be off. And are you saying there are no vers guys? I expect the wrath of someone soon.

No, it would be called, "Eight is Enough, but Eight-and-a-half is better."

But seriously I think it's a great idea. I was in a 3-way relationship for two years that worked very much like a family or collective in terms of the household responsibilities.

I simply cannot comment on this delicious fantasy topic, as per instructions from my husband. He is (self-admittedly) unwilling to share. Hm... I guess I did just comment afterall.

As Nixon said...let me say this about that. In theory it all sounds good but it's the execution where you'll get hung up. Take a thruple for example...based on how much work a two partner relationship is, a thruple IS gonna give you twice the sex...but at a cost of at least six times the baggage. These things tend to be exponential :)

I'll just be in charge of the chore lists. Which in essence makes me Queen.

I would be Nicholas the Landscaper, without the bowl-cut.

"I know there are thruples..." is that the same thing as a Triad?

Posted by: TonkaManOR at May 31, 2007 7:24 PM

This would be a great idea so I could work on my writing. That is, if I wrote.
I think way too much Drama.
"Why did you sleep with him last night, and not me? OMG, you think I'm UGLY!"

I'd probably be the one that got stuck scrubbing the toilet and who wants to have hot monkey sex with the guy who just scrubbed the toilet?

Posted by: homer at June 1, 2007 9:33 AM

Slumber? Ha! There'll be precious little 'slumbering'--- perhaps some LUMBER-ing...

you know... gettin' wood.

Posted by: cb at June 1, 2007 10:20 AM

For man butt love anytime, count me in... I'll even bottom... some.

Posted by: Mark at June 1, 2007 10:36 AM

Don't know if they exist, but I've wanted this all my life. Ever since I was about five.

does your arse hurt?
was that you cruising in the park today?
WOOF.

Posted by: airwoofone at June 2, 2007 6:54 PM

I've known several couples here who went that route and they all failed in one degree or another.

I'm sure it's possible but not very realistic when gay men have enough problems making 1on1 LTR's work for any length of time.

What you describe can and is happening in the Leather community. i myself am with a TOP/ Daddy/ SIR and we are looking for a second boy to share our lives with. We have been through this type of relationship before and ran into a snag when it came to the move from one state to another. i WELCOME a third person into our relationship (apply within if interested) as it opens the relationship to share, to give to my man the whole pie as i am only one person and can not give to every man all the qualities that he is looking for.
Yall have to admit that in most relationships you have to give and take qualities and live with them. i do not cook very well and do not do laundry veru well but would welcome someone who does.

I know yall are thinking sex, i am only one bottom and can not give it every day. i would welcome someone for me to play with and to satify my SIR when i can not.

I think that a third in a relationship is great.
