THE LIFESTYLE (LS): KNOWING, DOING, BEING

The "Lifestyle" or "LS" is the umbrella term widely-used in reference to consensually non-monogamous, ethically polyamorous and other alternative adult relationship orientations, sex models, relationship dynamics, love styles and lifestyles practiced by an individual, regardless of their age, gender identity (or lack thereof), gender presentation, sexual orientation, race, cultural background, socioeconomic status, religion, or political affiliation, which are outside of the societal accepted "norm" of classical hetero-monogamy. ​ The term Lifestyle (LS) is also used to differentiate colonized sexuality from non-monogamous, polyamorous and other alternative sex models. ​ The Lifestyle (LS) includes safe, sane, consensual AND ethical subsets of:

(1) non-monogamy; (2) polyamory; (3) relationship anarchy; (4) BDSM; (5) kink; (6) primal play; (7) fetish play; (8) erotic play; (9) tantric sex; (10) ethical slut; (11) hedonism; (12) exhibitionism; (13) voyeurism; (14) naturism and (15) nudism. ​ Lifestyle Socials aims to normalize non-monogamy, polyamory, relationship anarchy, BDSM, kink, primal play, fetish play, erotic play, tantric sex, ethical slut, hedonism, exhibitionism, voyeurism, naturism and nudism as orientation or BEING and not only as DOING as a recreational practice. ​ We discourage our Online Community and Socials Club members from getting hung up on the semantics of the word "Lifestyle". Instead we encourage them to center on the culture and community of the subset(s) they identify with and choose to be a part of. ​ HOW DO YOU ORIENT?

LIFESTYLER is a person who lives a consensually non-monogamous, ethically polyamorous or other alternative lifestyle, regardless of their age, gender identity (or lack thereof), gender presentation, sexual orientation, race, cultural background, socioeconomic status, religion, or political affiliation.

To live the LIFESTYLE purposefully and get the most out of it, it's important that you know what kind of LIFESTYLER you orient as, both as an individual and as a partner!
