I am a young looking and acting 52 year old living in the Phoenix area, Arizona, USA. I have over 20 years of poly experience in all kinds of situations. I am honest, ethical, have great communication skills, and a deep capacity for love and connection on both a physical and emotional level. I am looking for the same. I will make time and space for you in my life and heart, hopefully long-term, if you will do the same. *You must have room and time for an actual relationship.* I am not about casual hookups, or casual relationships in general. I am very demisexual and demiromantic. I am very playful and passionate but only once trust and a relationship has been been established.

I have one partner (trans masc) with whom I am on track to be a nesting partner with time. He is asexual, and fully supportive of my poly relationships. I am a straight cis female. I do parallel poly, but am open and would love to have partners meet and greet at least once with time. I enjoy camping, road trips, coffee dates, easy hikes, and deep conversation. I am in it for the whole relationship, but the physical connection is part of this.

Open to dating trans but we'd have to talk about specifics. LDR if we talk about what this looks like. Messages are open if the conversation can be respectful.

Dealbreakers-- being flaky/ non-committal, or using mind-altering substances including cannabis, poor hygiene, dishonesty.

Just wanted to share how happy I am in my new relationship. To give context I'm in my early '50s, been polyamorous off and on most of my life, with a couple of breaks of monogamy to get married and raise children. Through my polyamory practices I have learned to value what each person can bring to the relationship and what I can give to them. And being demisexual, with all partners there is a deep heart connection. I identify as a straight female But I'm very open-minded.

I currently have two partners. One of them is a typical straight male. We love each other intensely but his life is very complicated and he is very busy. He could never be someone who would settle down and be a nesting partner. But I love him for his busy life because it brings him joy. We are physically intimate at times, but we also are friends and we go on road trips and camping together and just enjoy each other's company.

My second partner is newer but the connection is so strong and so special. We both have been through a lot of the same stuff, we both have the same rare physical condition that comes with challenges and we understand each other. He is a trans man and fully asexual, although he's an amazing cuddler, which is something I absolutely need in a relationship. He has never dated a poly person but so far, after explaining it, he seems to be very accepting and supportive of it. He understands how different partners can fulfill different needs. He wants the same thing I do as far as eventually settling down and having a full nesting partnership. And he seems to be in the position to be able to do that. Of course we are going to take our time to make sure before jumping into anything.

Just wanted to share my story, answer any questions about polyamory, get any thoughts. Thank you for this safe space.
