They had their first male-on-male experiences with each other, with me. They drew the conclusion that they weren’t romantically interested in each other – just close friends – liked to fool around. We became involved in a sexual relationship together, the three of us. We all became very close and attempted a Vee formation type relationship, with the two of them being more involved with me than they were with each other.
The second partner, Boy 2, was very comfortable, and still is, with the concept of polyamory. Overtime, the first partner I was involved with, Boy 1, realized that this type of relationship really wasn’t for him. Despite how hard myself and Boy 2 tried, he couldn’t help but feel insecure and jealous. So, we ended our relationship and I am now singularly involved with Boy 2.
Yes, this must all sound very confusing to monogamous
Sex Tube people, but, I can assure you that it was a very important and beautiful bond that the three of us had.
My former partner, Boy 1, and I are currently working on how to stay friends post-relationship. We really do care about each other, and sometimes that’s how relationships work.

It’s really not about sex. It’s really about love, is the thing. Love is not a commodity. It’s not something that you give less to one person because you’re giving it to another person. It is infinite.
When you have that with people, you build a community and a family outside of your traditional family and community. That is a support group of people that care about you regardless of your relationship to them at that moment.
