    21 Polyamory Memes That Are Too Relatable

    Being monogamous is the norm in society, but little by little polyamory is becoming more accepted by the mainstream. There has been more and more representation of polycules in modern media, but it’s still rare, so sometimes you can feel like the only poly person in the whole wide world. Don’t worry, you’re not alone, there is a tribe out there that is alive and well and making memes on the internet. So here are 21 polyamory memes that will shake you to your core!

    1. Sleeping In The Middle

    Even the cuddliest of us might need a little space once in a while!

    2. Realizing You Were Poly

    Some of us had to come to it on our own okay?

    3. Dating Online

    No one likes dating apps, but they are especially hard for poly people since they make it difficult to weed out the creeps and cheaters. Not all of us are looking for a hookup, we’re looking for people we want to connect with, which is so much harder to find online.

    4. Owning Your Truth

    Some of us just fell off the horny tree and hit every branch on the way down. But does this mean that every poly person is a 24/7 horn-dog? Hell no! This stereotype is harmful and serves to delegitimize poly relationships as frivolous sexual greed.  This polyamory meme says it well!

    5. Encountering Problems

    The whole primary partner thing works for some poly relationships but not all. If you’re more of a relationship anarchist, you’ll probably relate to this poly meme.

    6. Attracting The Wrong People

    Some people think “poly” means “slutty” or that it’s okay to cheat, and there’s a lot of baggage that comes with that assumption. Those straight guys looking for harems – the ones that tout a ‘no penis policy’ – they need to be kicked to the curb.

    7. Watching Movies

    Love triangles make little sense to polyamorous people, why suffer all that angst when you can have your cake and eat it too? We need more polyamourous representation in popular media, and we need it now!

    8. Thriving In This Economy

    Why have a two-income household when you can have a three-income household or a four-income one? Being in several committed relationships allows you to act as a team, and that comes with serious financial benefits.

    9. I Got 99 Problems But A Cishet Guy Ain’t One!

    This open relationship meme is eye opening. Dating a couple makes it a little easier to deal with your slightly ignorant cishet boyfriend, who might not be able to check his privilege.

    10. Seeking Attention

    A post shared by PolyCat (@adventuresofpolycat)

    When you are always around people it becomes weird when you suddenly have alone time.

    11. Weeding Out The Casuals

    Not all polyamorous people practice ethical non-monogamy and you have got to look out for them. The last thing you want is to be caught up in a drama with weird consequences because of a partner that lied about being poly.

    12. Sharing With Your Family

    A post shared by ChaoticAngel (@chaoticangel85)

    This is why most of us have a primary partner – so we can have a default. But unfortunately, that’s just not how some polycules work and it’s a shame they have to hide in this mono-centric society

    13. Dealing With The Haters

    One of the worst assaults from toxic monogamy is when people try to prove that just because your relationship is different, that it’s inherently invalid. Everyone wants to prove you wrong. Don’t let them!

    14. Being Honest About Your Agenda

    A post shared by Deborah Castellano (@debcastellano)

    Every polycule is looking for someone with a certain set of skills! And with all your skills combined maybe you can build a great life together.

    15. Looking For Partners

    A post shared by Lou Jent (@quibblesandbits)

    Make it so you have people in your life who enrich it not just financially, but socially, sexually, and spiritually. There are some serious perks to being poly if you think about it!

    16. Mentoring Beginners

    Some people get really excited when they first get started exploring polyamory. But most of us just want to sit on the couch with our partners and watch movies or recover from the day.

    17. Having To Debunk Old Stereotypes

    The biggest misconception about poly is that polyamorous people are justifying cheating. There’s actually a huge difference between cheating and practicing ethical non-monogamy – and that difference is consent. Everyone in a proper polyamorous relationship knows about everyone else and is a consenting and enthusiastic partner. Down with monogamy propaganda!  Bring on more polyamory memes!

    18. Making Tough Decisions

    We stan a decisive partner!

    19. Appreciating Beauty

    One of the nice things about polyamory is being able to appreciate your partner’s beauty WITH your other partners. It’s like a non-stop empowerment tag-team.

    20. Questioning Jealousy

    Jealousy can be incredibly toxic but monogamous society has taught us it’s a healthy part of a loving relationship. The good thing about polyamory is that it changes your relationship with jealousy, and makes you question why you have those feelings instead of just succumbing to them.

    21. Doing Your Own Thing

    A post shared by PolyCat (@adventuresofpolycat)

    Just because monogamy is the default in society, doesn’t mean that it’s the only correct way to do relationships. You should be able to love whomever you want, however you want, (within the boundaries of consent). It’s our business how we go about our business.

    Final Thoughts

    If you are feeling gloomy about being one of the few polyamorous people you know, then memes are a great way to remind yourself you are not alone. Other people have #relatable problems that they’ve channeled into polyamory meme form. We hope they have made it a little easier to be yourself and helped you realize that there are tons of others who feel the same way you do!

    10 Guys Reveal Their Most Impulsive Hookups

    Estimated reading time: 8 minutes

    These stories of spontaneous hookups will leave you hurtin’ for a squirtin’.

    Have you ever found yourself hooking up totally out of the blue? Spontaneous hookups can often be the most satisfying encounter. On Reddit, gay men recently opened up about their most unexpected experiences.

    While some told tales about connections with their significant others, others shared moments involving Uber drivers and cable guys. Here are ten of our favorite stories.

    1. The cable guy
    by Southern-bro

    It was only a h——b, but it was sure sexual and spontaneous: When I was in college, a nice-looking cable guy older than me (30ish) came to our dorm room. I was the only one there since my roommates had class. We got to talking a lot while he worked, and it got a bit personal. One thing led to another, and he stopped, looked me in the eyes, and asked if I liked guys. I nervously said yes, and he said he did too. He came up close to me and reached down and started gently feeling my bulge through my jeans.

    Well, I was a horny college dude not getting any and moaned and pushed forward my pelvis. He smiled and said, “You like that, buddy” and unzipped me, carefully pulled my throbbing junk out (c–k and balls), and started jacking me with my pre-c-m and his spit and cupping my balls. I was eventually doing all the work by pumping my c–k in his lubed fist. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. I cried, “I’m gonna c-m!” and nutted a load. It shot up his grey work clothes. He seemed happy and left. I just fell back on the bed, relieved. Never saw him again — the best h—–b I ever had.

    2. On the way to Arizona
    by SnatchyaWigz

    My ex-husband and I were driving from Phoenix to Los Angeles and were on that part of I-10 in Western Arizona where the towns are all really far apart. He pulls off at one of those exits that are marked “No Services,” so I think he’s just going to take a leak at the side of the road, but instead he drives for a little while, then turns off down this random dirt road. I sit up at this point and ask “where are we going?” He just grins at me.

    Maybe two minutes later, we stop, he gets out, comes around, and taps on my door. When I open it, he motions for me to get out, so I do. Then he drops to his knees and starts undoing my jeans. I hesitated and tried to stop him for a few seconds, then looked around and realized we were in the middle of nowhere, so I let him pull my jeans down. He proceeds to start b—–g me. After he gets me nice and hard, he stands up, goes to the hood of the car, drops his shorts, and bends over. I f—-d him against the side of the car until we both came, then we got back in the car and were on our way.

    We grew apart and ended up being really s—-y and mean to each other by the end of our 14 years, but damn, we always had really hot s–.

    3. Study session
    by TomberryServo

    This was probably the most [awkward] encounter I’ve had yet. I was finishing up a report at 11 p.m. in my empty dorm that was due at midnight. Someone knocks at my door, and it was this dude (we’re both gay) I hooked up with a few weeks ago. He was h—y; I was not because this report was worth a [significant] portion of my grade. He wasn’t going to leave, so I let him give me a b—–b while he j—-d off. Five minutes later, he came on my floor, left, and then I spent the rest of the night, putting the finishing touches on my report.

    4. The charismatic guy
    by curiouskub90

    I once was in a band, and we all lived together in a small town. Between all of us, we knew the entire town as far as people our age, and I was new to the area but was gaining friends fast because of this town’s hardcore scene. Well, there was this guy who was super charismatic, and like physically perfect. I was straight and in a relationship with a girl.

    We used to all get wasted, and people would pass out anywhere. Well, the charismatic guy ended up beside my bed, and we were alone in the room before I realized. I turn towards the wall to fall asleep, and then I’m waking up to the feeling of being touched.

    At first, I sat up fast, knowing it was him, but he just looked me right in the eyes and pulled my sweat pants and underwear down, and put my c— in his mouth. It wasn’t my first time experimenting, but I wasn’t prepared for it, and it was over quick.

    5. The wedding date
    by ElmParker

    I was at a wedding in a foreign country. It was in a rambling old house with a rambling garden. I met an older German guy who was friendly & we went on a walk around the estate. The next thing I knew, we were kissing beside a field, then he was b—–g me. I was tugging on his d—, but I didn’t want to suck it! When all of a sudden, a bunch of people from the wedding party started screaming out our names, thinking we were lost. Weird and annoying. So we returned to the kind of boring wedding, and everyone snickered and wondered what had happened.

    6. Bi guy at the bar
    by marker8050

    It was at a bar. I’m bisexual, but I’ve been told I’m very straight acting. My friend bummed a cigarette off the one girl with her guy friend. So they started talking, and I started talking to her friend, who was more obviously gay.

    I mentioned that I was bi, and he said, “Oh, really? I like your lips. ????” Then he said that he needed to go to the bathroom and I should join him. So we made out in the bathroom and were pushing against the door to keep it closed, so no one else walked. And some light b—–b took place.

    Never talked to him again, though.

    7. More than friends
    by Scotnuck

    This one time I was leaving a club late like three or four, and I didn’t live too far. I was with two guys who were friends, and we were all hanging just a friend.

    Get back to [my house], and I bust out the whiskey, and we keep drinking. Somehow p–n ended up on the TV as a joke, next thing you know, we’re playing truth or dare. Take clothes off, kiss, etc.

    Then things started getting a bit cray, and in my drunkenness, I had a moment of clarity and realized what was going on as I was getting my ass eaten while I’m s—–g off the other guy.

    8. The brojob
    by EdChamberz_

    Hung out with a gay dude I knew in the neighborhood already. Saw him on Grindr as a torso and ended up recognizing each other after texting. We were both bored, so we walked around at midnight and stopped at a playground while chatting. We swung on swings for a bit, then laid down on the concrete basketball court looking at the stars and talking. He ended up holding my hand, and he kissed me.

    We made out for a bit, I blew him, and he f—-d me while standing. He was both thick and hung, and I wasn’t very experienced with bigger guys, so I was on the tip of my toes. Surprisingly, we didn’t use lube, but it wasn’t really painful at all. He didn’t finish because he’d feel bad after c—–g, so he stopped right before, I walked him home, and we occasionally hung out and talked platonically until he left for the Air Force.

    9. Time Square
    by greekgaysub

    Was in NYC for a conference, met this guy from our Switzerland office that I have been communicating with for work purposes via email for the last nine months, turns out he was really cute. I was 27, he was 31. We went out for drinks (the Swiss sure can drink) and we went back to our hotel for a few more drinks at the rooftop bar overlooking Time Square. The bar closed and we haven’t finished our drinks so we stayed up there as everyone including the staff left. We both found out the other was gay and he started b—–g me and then f—-d me. Was a lot of fun c—–g watching all the people in Times Square.

    10. Spa time
    by mctesterson96

    At a gay hotel in Guerneville, CA, my partner and I were by the pool chatting up a guy in the lounge chair next to us. After some light flirting, he got up to take a dip. He came back, and his wet speedo was slightly transparent, revealing an impressive c–k. He asked if we wanted a drink, and my partner gestured to his suit and said “I’d rather have what’s in there.” We spent the rest of the day together and f—-d three times in two different hotel rooms.
