In a large number of ways, I find LESS emotional risk in sex than in demonstrating and receiving romance .
It takes more courage to offer tokens of time, silliness, thoughtfulness, and affection than it does to indulge in lust.
This makes me curious. It also makes me want to man the torpedoes and address the issue!
The other half of this little conundrum is the courage of the receiver.
If you are poly, where does romance stand in the web of consideration for you, your partner, your secondaries, etc.?
I am curious to any thoughts on this/these topics.

Date: 2006-07-14 03:42 pm (UTC)I'll let you and anyone else decide if what I do is romantic. I enjoy holding doors, soft 'I love you's holding hands etc.
I want to have that in my relationships, especially if sexual imtimacy is involed.
I have had some sexual relatiosnhips that were just that. It's fun occasionally. Sharing the emotional initmacy as well makes the relatiosnhip worth while.
