I asked Him to tell me everything and He did.

He did tell me that while there, He would have sex with women, but that they were all extremely careful and practiced safe sex, and He had lived this way for many years, well before i ever knew Him, and He produced medical records to show that He was free from any STD.
It is quite obvious that this has nothing whatsoever to do with poly. First, You do not lie or cheat in poly. Secondly, Poly is short for loving more than one, so having an attitude that subs are 'furniture' to him also clearly shows that he is definitely not poly.

I would say be wary of types like this, he is lying whenever it suits him, and you cannot know when he is telling the truth and when not. So you cannot, for example, trust him when he says he is is practising safe sex. You could put your life in danger with persons life that.

are all Doms polyamorous, moreso than even vanilla men? does this way of life attract men who are already polyamorous?
I shouldn't think so. There are some who collect slaves but are not poly in the sense of loving more than one. That certainly does not make it wrong or anything, as long as all parties understand and accept of their own free choice that this is what they want, rather that some preconceived idea that it has to be like that just because one part is a dom/me. Everybody has got the right to choose a life-style that suits them.

Others are genuinely poly, in that they do love their subs.

this is something that i have wondered about for a long time, and i definitely do not make any character assumptions at all, because i think Doms and Masters are a-w-e-s-o-m-e, and they have their reasons for doing what they do - i just have these questions about this particular topic.

thank you.
They maybe awesome, but do not take it wrong when I say that there are many good doms our there but also some real bad apples, and you might want to be more careful whom you choose to have so much power over your life. A persons 'reasons' for doing what he or she does may not be good for others than themselves!

Certainly not everybody who calls themselves dom/mes are worth a damn, and the concept of dom should not be defiled by irresponsible people any more than the concept of poly should be defiled by liars and cheaters.

Good luck and safe search. :-)
