Exploring Unicorn Dating: Not Just a Fantasy

Unicorn dating, a term often associated with the world of polyamory, has recently gained attention and recognition for its unique dynamics and potential for fulfilling relationships. While it may sound like a whimsical fantasy, unicorn dating refers to the involvement of a third partner, typically a bisexual woman, who joins an established couple in a consensual and mutually beneficial arrangement. In this article, we will delve into the concept of unicorn dating, exploring the roles, dynamics, and challenges involved. Additionally, we will provide dating tips and resources for couples interested in embarking on this extraordinary dating experience.

Understanding the Roles and Dynamics:

In unicorn dating, the participating couple seeks to form a triad relationship with a compatible third partner, often referred to as the “unicorn.” The unicorn is typically a bisexual woman, although not exclusively, who is open to engaging in a romantic and/or sexual relationship with both members of the couple. The couple, also known as the “primary partners,” seeks to include the unicorn as an equal member of their relationship, sharing emotional connections, experiences, and intimacy together.

Communication and Consent:

Clear and open communication is vital in unicorn dating. All parties involved must engage in honest and transparent discussions about expectations, boundaries, desires, and any concerns. The couple and the unicorn should openly express their feelings, needs, and limitations to ensure the establishment of a healthy and balanced relationship. Mutual consent and ongoing consent are crucial for the well-being and satisfaction of all involved individuals.

Challenges and Considerations:

While unicorn dating offers unique opportunities for love, connection, and exploration, it is not without challenges. Jealousy, insecurity, and feelings of exclusion may arise within the couple or the unicorn. It is essential for all individuals to navigate these emotions with empathy, compassion, and patience, prioritizing open dialogue and reassurance. Additionally, societal stigmas and misconceptions surrounding unconventional relationship dynamics can pose external challenges that require resilience and support.

Dating Tips for Couples:

  1. Reflect on motivations: Before embarking on unicorn dating, couples should reflect on their reasons for seeking this type of relationship. Are they genuinely open to exploring polyamory and sharing love with another individual, or are they seeking novelty or temporary excitement? Understanding motivations and intentions is crucial for a successful unicorn dating experience.
  2. Be honest and respectful: Honesty and respect should be the foundation of any relationship, and unicorn dating is no exception. Be transparent about your expectations, boundaries, and desires from the beginning. Treat the unicorn as an equal and valued member of the relationship, fostering a safe and inclusive environment.
  3. Establish clear boundaries: Boundaries play a vital role in ensuring the emotional well-being of all parties involved. Discuss and establish boundaries together, and be willing to reassess and adjust them as the relationship evolves. Respect each individual’s limits and communicate openly to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts.

Resources for Unicorn Dating:

  1. Online communities and forums: Joining online communities dedicated to open relationships, polyamory, and unicorn dating can provide valuable support, advice, and a sense of belonging. Websites such as Bicupid, UnicornsDating.net, and SwingTowns offer platforms for connecting with like-minded individuals.
  2. Books and literature: Educate yourselves by reading books on ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, and relationship dynamics. Some recommended titles include “The Ethical Slut” by Dossie Easton and Janet W. Hardy, “More Than Two” by Franklin Veaux and Eve Rickert, and “Opening Up” by Tristan Taormino.
  3. Couples therapy or counseling: Seeking professional guidance can be beneficial for couples navigating the complexities of unicorn dating. A therapist or counselor experienced in open relationships can provide guidance, facilitate communication, and help address issues that may arise.

Unicorn dating, far from being just a fantasy, offers couples the opportunity to explore alternative relationship dynamics while fostering love, connection, and growth. By understanding the roles, dynamics, and challenges involved, couples can embark on a fulfilling unicorn dating experience. With open communication, consent, and mutual respect, it is possible to navigate the complexities and build healthy, vibrant relationships that celebrate individuality and love.

Would You Date a Bisexual Man?

Have to admit a fact, The dating pool is much wider for women than men, for a man. No matter what kind of sexual orientation. Many men and women are scared of saying that they are bisexual for fear that they will be mocked or shunned for their orientation. There is so much stigma against bisexual people for being “cheaters”, “unfaithful”, and will miss being with the other gender. It has permeated into the mind of many people that it’s hard to let go of that stigma.

A lot of gay guys are worried that bi men aren’t in it for the long haul, and that they’ll chicken out and switch to a socially acceptable hetero relationship because it’s easier than having to deal with homophobia. As bisexual men are constantly painted as “cheaters”, “unfaithful”, or that we’ll “miss” being with women if we’re in a committed relationship with a man. None of that shit is true for a vast majority of bisexual people, regardless of gender. I think it would be unnecessary for someone to enter into a relationship with hesitations just because the guy is bisexual.

As more and more bisexuals come out, many people will say yes, why not? It’d be stupid to not date someone for that reason. I’m kind of appalled there are that many who wouldn’t. Many people still can’t abandon their old ideas, thinking that bisexuality does not exist and that bisexual man is gay. Bisexual people deserve a lot of love. They get hate for being bisexual because more options to them would mean that they’ll cheat on you. Anyone would cheat if they’re a shitty person, it’s not tied to sexuality.

I will date a bisexual man without hesitation. If we are not together in the end, it is not because of his sexual orientation, but for other reasons. If your only reason is their sexuality to another gender or your personal experiences making you judge all bisexual people you should all be ashamed of yourself. You’re no different than the bigots trying to take away LGBT rights. The best way to dismantle this concept is by remembering that attraction does not lie. If the person you are dating identifies as bisexual and says they love and want to be with you, believe them. After all, they chose you, not anyone else.

Don’t perpetuate such negative stereotypes dude, “Bi guys always end up with girls.” If you date him with prejudice at the beginning, then your date is doomed to fail. Yes, bi guys have their obstacles to face, but if they never come out they can still live a happy life with a woman. But this does not mean that we have the right to stop them from coming out. It does not mean that we have the right to discriminate and ignore their existence.
