Lady Lilith Dreams' Ramblings

Traits for Finding a Lifelong Mate
by Clarissa Pinkola Estes

1. Choose someone as though you were blind. Close your eyes and see what you can FEEL; their kindness, loyalty, insight, devotion, their ability to be concerned with you, their ability to care for themselves as an independent being.

2. Choose a person who has the ability to learn, explore new ways of doing things and perceiving things, who is curious, and who is EVOLVING.

3. Choose someone who is willing to be like you....... read more

The Benefits of a Polyamorous Relationship

Relieving Pressure of Meeting Needs

When you allow for more partners, you are able to enjoy the qualities of several people that, together, are able to meet a much greater percentage of your interpersonal needs. This has the advantage of "taking the heat" off of single partner relationships to provide what a partner is not able to provide. No two people are exactly alike, or share the exact same interests. Polyamory allows you to have people th... read more

about me
Since so many seem to not read profiles all the way to the end, I am going to start off by saying I am in a relationship. I have partner(s) and am not looking for replacement(s)!!! All messages sent to me are forwarded to my partner(s) for their viewing pleasure. If this does not scare you off, then by all means, keep reading :-)

That being said, I am not your typical run of the mill American Female, at least not according to society's norms. It is not that I try to go against them, I just don't fit the mold. I fall somewhere in the middle of what society expects, and what it doesn't. Many find me an enigma, yet once they get to know me, I am easy to understand. I enjoy surprising people. I also enjoy being surprised. I walk the middle ground in most areas of my life. I seem to attract the extremes to me, pleasure and pain, light and dark, etc. I aspire to find the fulcrum between extremes and allow them to co-exist in harmony. More often than not, I am successful.

I am a 3rd degree Priestess. I practice ecclectic Paganism, always walking the line between the light and dark sides. Want to know more, just ask. I follow my own religious path, which I describe as being ecclectic LHP(Left Hand Path) Paganism. I also like the ideas and possibilities proposed by the Quantum Physics Theory of Observer Created Reality. This in turn goes right along with "The Law of Attraction."

I have 2 children, both boys who are the loves of my life. I have a BA in Child Development. I am polyamorous, meaning I practice polyamory, (polyamoury). I am not interested in traditional single husband/wife or girlfriend/boyfriend relationships. Other words related to that topic include polyfidelity and non-monogamy. I am bisexual, with a preference for men. I am currently involved in a multi-partner poly relationship, and have no desire to leave my partners, so don't try to turn me monogamous. I have been monogamous in the past, and it just does not work for me, I have too much to give. I am very picky about my partners, and adhere to a strict fluid bond protocol within my relationship.

Here is my Myspace Profile ( www.myspace.com/ladylilithdreams )


What am I doing with my life?

Raising my kids to the best of my ability. Living life to its fullest, and exploring who I am. I enjoy trying new things, and pushing my own limitations. My explorations have resulted in many changes over the past two years. I have come to the realization that I m not happy in monogamous relationships. My heart is way to big to be able to love only one person. I also do not like the baggage that goes along with most monogamous relationships.

I have also found out that although I have done more things sexually than most (12.0% on the 500 Question purity Test ( www.puritytest.net ), it is only the tip of the iceberg.

I wrote the Sexual Experimentation Test ( www.okcupid.com/tests/take )on OKCupid.
Although OKCupid wont allow me to save my scores because I am the author, my score is as follows:

Enthusiast

You scored 78% Experience, 93% Adventurousness, 94% Kinkyness, and 79% Corrupt!
You are not afraid to experiment, in fact you thrive on it. You are always looking for what else there is to experience. You enjoy pushing yourself. You enjoy your journey to sexual discovery and wont let anyone steer you from it.


What does it mean when I say I am poly? It means I believe that the human heart can love and care for more than one person at a time. It does not mean I have sex with everyone I meet. Polyamory is about having meaningful long-term relationships with multiple partners, not sex.

My favorite analogy regarding polyamory is relating it to a rose bush. The main stem is the individual. Each branch can be a partner. The branches grow and bloom just as relationships do. Each branch adds to the beauty of the whole plant. Roses have thorns, just as relationships have difficult times. If you cut a branch with a rose off and place it in a vase (monogamy) it will last a short while then fade away no matter how well you take care of it. If you leave the branch on the rose bush (polyamory), nurture it, and the rest of the plant, it will continue to grow and bloom year after year. Occasionally the branches will die, just as relationships do, and those branches must be trimmed back so they do not sap the strength of the rest of the plant. New branches grow to replace the lost one, but the plant continues to add beauty and enrich the lives of those people represented by each branch.

What am I good at?

I am really good at moderating discussions, getting people to see each other's points of view. I am very good at knowing my own limitations, and am not afraid to speak up when need be. I am really good at reading other people's emotions, and have a knack for being able to see all sides of a situation.

I am really good at offering advice, giving moral support, etc..... or so I have been told. I enjoy helping people as much as possible. I find it easier to keep my cool, than to lose it, and many people seem to respect the fact it is difficult to rile me.
