Most of the links below, and some others as well, are also in the sidebar.
Other groups in the Boston area
- Family Tree is a poly organization in the general Boston area that’s been around a lot longer than Poly Boston. (There’s considerable overlap — some people come to both Family Tree events and Poly Boston events.) They are less geographically concentrated than we are. Their web site is at http://ftree.contr a.org/, and they also have a paper newsletter.
- A sizable fraction of the people in Poly Boston are bisexual. If you are too, you may be interested in Biversity Boston (http://www.biversity.org/) and/or the Bisexual Resource Center (http://www.biresource.org/).
Information about polyamory in general
- http://www.polyamory.org/ is the home page of the alt.polyamory newsgroup, and probably the best single web site about polyamory.
- The alt.polyamory FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions list) is a good general introduction to polyamory.
- The Culture Supplement to the FAQ lists poly-related books (fiction and non-fiction), movies, songs, and comic books. The non-fiction book section is a good place to look for more information (much of it contradictory! :-) about what polyamory is.
Dating sites
- Poly Boston is not a dating site. But PolyMatchmaker is, and it’s also got discussion forums. Worth checking out if you’re looking for romance or conversation.
- OKCupid is a general (not poly-specific) dating site, but it tries not to match people who are seriously incompatible.
Blogs and columns
- Opening Up is Tristan Taormino’s blog associated with her book of the same name.
- Poly Boston’s own Kamela Dolinova writes a column about open relationships in the Boston area.
- Alan, another Poly Boston regular, writes about mentions of polyamory in the mainstream media at Polyamory in the News.
