BrevardPoly Frequently Asked Questions
|
What is BrevardPoly? |
| It is a social and discussion group of like minded
people in the East Central Florida area. We meet once a month, catch up with
old friends and meet new ones. See our
Meetings/Events
page for more information on our meeting
schedule. |
|
What happens at these meetings?
|
| We eat a meal and talk about our lives, issues and
interests. We start the meetings off with a check-in- where
everyone has an opportunity (but not an obligation) to introduce themselves,
and briefly talk about things going on in their lives - relationships, etc.
After the check-in, we may either discuss as a group a topic that someone
has brought up - or if no topic comes up - we break up into smaller
discussion groups for general socialization. New attendees can sign
up for the PolyCentral online discussion list. |
|
What is the Announcement List?
|
| It's just an Email reminder sent a few
times a month. It has all the info on the next meeting. Where, When,
possible topics, etc. Click here to sign up. |
|
What is the Discussion List?
|
| It's just an Email system that allows you to write
or reply to one address and send the note to everyone on the list. We use it
to hold online discussions, where you can read and comment at your leisure.
We also use it for passing info or inviting people to some event - Dinner,
movies, party, etc. The list is open to anyone who has attended a poly
meeting in Florida. PolyCentral hosts the list, and it is shared by
PolyTampa and BrevardPoly.
|
|
What kinds of people attend these
meetings? |
| Meetings are open to all Polyamorous and Poly
friendly people. It's a diverse group of like thinking people varying in
race, religion, sexual orientation, with lots of diversity in age, gender
identification and relationship status. You don't have to actually be in a
relationship to attend. Singles who are poly minded are most welcome -
this is not a couple-centric lifestyle like swing. Everyone is considered an
individual in BrevardPoly. |
|
Aren't Poly people the ones that like
to fool around with each other?
|
| You're thinking of a swing group. Poly is not
swinging. There is no sex at the meetings. Hugging and kissing is all that
you see. Poly people are very affectionate, but we don't get naked and have
sex at the meetings. This isn't that kind of group. We're simply a
discussion group. Don't forget we meet in a public restaurant. We would get
thrown out or arrested. We have to behave as anyone else in a public place. |
|
So do you date each other or have
relationships? |
| Relationships can and do form between members of
the group, but this is not a pick-up club or dating service. |
