Parenting in the Poly Community

Poly Parents

3Fun has released new data highlighting the significant portion of its users who are polyamorous and parents. Out of 3,403 survey respondents, 1,918 (56.4%) identified as parents, shedding light on the prevalence of polyamorous parenting within the community.

Key Findings from the Survey Include:

  • Prevalence of Polyamorous Parenting: Over half of the respondents are parents, demonstrating that polyamorous relationships and parenting are more common than often perceived.
  • Community-Oriented Childcare: The division of labor among multiple partners allows for a more balanced approach to childcare and household responsibilities.

Max Ma, Founder and CEO of 3Fun, stated, “The data we’ve collected from our users emphasizes that parenting and polyamory can coexist harmoniously. Our goal at 3Fun is to challenge societal norms and show that diverse relationship structures can promote loving, supportive environments for children.”

Insights from Gigi Engle, a certified sex and relationship psychotherapist and resident intimacy expert at 3Fun, further support this view. Engle noted, “Polyamory can be incredibly beneficial for raising children. A multi-partner structure allows for the division of labor and childcare responsibilities, fostering a community-oriented approach that echoes the communal child-rearing practices of our ancestors.”

Engle also emphasized the importance of transparency and education: “Kids deserve age-appropriate explanations about what polyamory is and how their parents practice it. Normalizing these conversations will help children develop open-minded perspectives and reduce societal stigma.”

3Fun remains committed to providing a safe and inclusive platform for all users, including parents, to explore their desires ethically and transparently in a non-judgmental environment.

Tamara Pincus: It's Called Polyamory

It’s Called “Polyamory”: Coming Out About Your Nonmonogamous Relationships

The time has come to tell your friends and family about your preference for nonmonogamy. You’re on the cusp of self-liberation—so why does it feel so daunting, or even scary, like you’re about to confess to some sinister transgression? This is normal. You are not alone. Even in progressive families and communities, people who practice nonmonogamy are susceptible to misinformation and accusations of moral and emotional failings. Facing this requires its own coming out and education process.

Let this book be your roadmap for explaining the expansive intricacies of the consensual nonmonogamy spectrum. Tamara Pincus and Rebecca Hiles fuse personal experience and community research to break down the various incarnations of polyamorous relationship structures, the intersections of polyamory with race and gender, and the seemingly esoteric jargon of the lifestyle. If you absolutely have to explain what a “unicorn hunter” is to your auntie, Tamara has you covered.

“Can poly people raise children? Can they live normal, healthy lives?” Such questions, grounded in myths typical of those faced by sexual minorities, are eloquently answered, and the real dangers of being out as poly in a monogamy-centered society are frankly laid bare.

No matter the conversation you’re going in, It’s Called “Polyamory” helps you come out confident.
