And that cover photo? "It was quite a last-minute rush to recruit all the owners of the hands that appear in it," Zanin writes in her Sex Geek blog, "but we all had tons of fun contorting ourselves in my living room to show the hands without the people. Good times!"

I moved in with my partner in Toronto, but at Unholy Harvest I hooked up with somebody else. That has become a rather serious relationship as well. Then just recently my two partners become lovers. Now we're a triad; it's beautiful and rewarding and — wow. It's taking lots of communication because it's challenging in how to manage it. But that communication is deepening the relationships.

A note on word use:
"Triad" is often used to mean there's sex happening on all three sides, as opposed to a "vee" with sex on two sides. But I know people in sexual vees who are close all around in other ways — living together, raising children together, or just intimate friends — and would really bristle at not being considered a triad.
So for definitional purposes, I say it's the closeness that counts, not the genital stuff. It's not all about the sex.
When I do want to mean explicitly that there's sex all around, I use "full triad" or "equilateral triad."

I was one of those people in a triad where the sex was really a vee, and we all insisted on calling ourselves a triad anyway. No one really questioned it, especially since the two of us *not* having sex bought a house together and let our shared partner rent a room from us :-)
In my Poly Configuration pages (http://www.theinnbetween.net/polyconfig.html) I recommend to poly newbies that one should never make any assumptions about who is having sex with whom no matter what term that group uses to call themselves.
This is a good short story. I had few relationships with geeks. Girls got their reason, mine, I've got 7 Reasons On Why You Should Date A Geek. On your situation just be carefull and be safe..
