This website is an archived version of the old Polyamory on Purpose site. I ran and wrote PoP from about 2011 to 2019.
Polyamory on Purpose was meant to provide information on the ‘practical’ side of polyamorous life, from budgets to parenting to navigating safer sex and mental illness. I believe it was the first site covering on polyamory and pregnancy, polyamorous parenting, and several other topics.
I am no longer able to continue work on the site, but it was a major resource for polyamorous people for a number of years. So, I’m returning the site to it’s original URL with most of the original content.
While I still standby much of what I wrote here, I have also learned a great deal over the past decade plus. It is probable that some of the posts here contain wrong information. I’ll pretty much guarantee that some of the posts on pregnancy contain transphobic wording. I regret that, but I’m not going to erase that history or pretend that I was never that person who didn’t know better.
For much of this information, better (though still imperfect) versions can be found in the Polyamory on Purpose Guides series, available on most major booksellers.
