SEPolyPersonals E-Mail List
Description from the list-owner :
"Polyamory is the ability to love more than one person at a time. This group is mainly for poly personals in the south eastern states like VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, and TN. I know there are a lot of poly support lists out there but most of them do not allow personal ads. So I decided to create a list for that purpose. This list is not only limited to ads. Discussion on poly related topics and postings for announcing support groups is also allowed.
This is not a swingers' list nor a place to look for just one night stands. Pictures posted to the group must be PG-13 rated or below. You must have a profile filled out in order to be approve for this list. Intial postings will be moderated to cut down spam and the like to the list."Website : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SEpolypersonals/

Ha.R.P / Hampton Roads Polyamory
Web Site : http://www.geocities.com/hamptonroadspoly/
A group of people in the Hampton Roads area have formed a monthly discussion and support group around polyfidelity, polyaffection, non-monogamy and related issues. We promote honest, responsible, truthful, loving, respectful relationships. Polys believe we can deeply, richly and ethically love two or more partners at once. Group marriage, open couples, extended families and intimate networks are a few of the options we advocate. If you're involved or interested in a responsible non-monogamous lifestyle, come join our discussion group. This is not swinging or a casual sex group but a path towards multiple, sustained, intimate, committed but nonpossessive relationships. Singles, couples, triads, whatever...all are welcome, as well as genders and orientations. Comments? Questions? Feel free to e-mail Ha.R.P.
