I miss Mr. Poe. If you see him at Slog Happy, tell him he's missed.

Maybe you need to lighten up.

Sorry if my choice of words rankled. No offense intended. I didn't mean to imply that the phenomenon of Asian male hotness was usually impossible. When I say that someone is impossibly hot I'm just registering my delight at encountering a guy whose beauty shocks me.

For the record, I'm married to a more-than-possibly handsome Caucasian male in a relationship that is "non-monogamous in theory than we are in practice" similar to yours.

I probably shouldn't have focused my ire at you for your posting. It's just that during Pride month, I just feel that race relations in the LGBTQ hasn't progress as much as it should've. You go to bars, circuit parties or rallies, people seem to self-segregate.

Well, I'm babbling so I should stop at this point.

"I'm having the hardest time imagining an Irish accent from an Asian Irishman, though... . That would be fascinating. He should work just that for all it's worth."

Some of the posters here show the same backwards way of thinking. What is so amazing about an Asian guy speaking with a European accent? Americans are xenocentric in their thinking even with globalization flattening our world.

Shame on you folks.

There ARE creepy ways of doing this, and this isn't it.

And if someone else has an agreement that some "touching" is allowed (they are not monogamous by joint consent), then why would that be anyone else's business? I'll never get that....

I feel sorry for you. I do. But it doesn't make it right. Your level of protest seems (I may be wrong) to have some relation to your own intense feelings. Jealousy at that level makes people act really badly. I don't mean here. But in your relationships.

I understand I may be making wrong assumptions and if so, I'm sorry. But it's a hunch based on how I've heard others with that problem talk. Jealousy can make people do really hurtful things. Just saying..

Really, the only way to deal with them is to rob them of their voice.

If that's the case, seriously doubt that your "volumes of research" are sound -- more likely your "volumes of research" include your own diaries & self-pitying hating.

And by the way -- it's not "cheating" if both partners agree to it. Cheating is about deception.

P.S. I am monogamous, always have been. I've been cheated on (much like it seems you have) and I am currently married and in a completely "closed" relationship. I am in no way poly, because it would never work for me -- but that doesn't mean it can't work for other people! The point is, troll, IT'S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. You and YOUR partner are your business. Me and MY parter are mine.

THE END.
