OP, if I mistook your intention about why you started this thread, I have no problem owning up to it. Like you, I am built in poly. I'm married and any additional person who enters my life comes into it with the knowledge of my marital status. Right off of the bat, that removes me from some people's dating pool. I do not share your STI status, but I do have a secondary reason that removes me from some people's dating pool. That being, I have a pack(+) a day habit (cigarettes) that is a no-go for some people. I absolutely have encountered people who are fine with the poly thing, but they aren't ok with the secondary thing. And, yes, I certainly have heard the same terminology that some people didn't like on this thread. Dirty, unhealthy, etc, etc, etc. However, it is my personal belief that everybody has the right to decide for themselves whether I am 'dating' material or not. I really don't care what they base it on. Dating, relationships, casual play... Any of that stuff. They get to discount me for any reason that might be on their list. And, I'm ok with that.
