Yo, people. Hi.

My name is Pao. I'm 22, ciswoman, polyamorous, demibisexual and demibiromantic, dating a bisexual ciswoman, and in a rather dysfunction and sometimes extremely painful poly family. As much as I love my family (which currently includes four people), we are full of problems and insecurities and, to be honest, we're a poor example of polyamory.

Good thing we're in the closet, right? Everyone knows I'm queer and I'm dating my girlfriend, but they don't know about the rest of the family.

I typically identify as bisexual, but I come out with my real definitions when someone wants to have a discussion about sexuality (or if someone says something like, "Yo, vaginas/penises are SO AWESOME, RIGHT?" and I accidentally let slip, "Ew," which really raises questions after I just called myself bi).

I wish I weren't demi. This might not be the best place to say this, but there it is. I'm not ashamed of being demi in the least, as I will tell anyone who asks what it means and I have no problem telling people how I identify. But mentally, I'm a very sexual person. I wish I could just ... be bisexual, without any kind of qualifiers or alternatives involved. My demisexuality prevents me from doing a lot of things I wish I could do.

Anyway, I'm glad to have found this place! I hope to get to know plenty of good people here.

Welcome, Pao! Sorry for taking so long to get back here and give you a good halloo. Our hope is that the place will get more active as college students get dismissed for seasonal break.

It's a pleasure to meet you!
