Amanda Kay began early in life with a poly frame of mind. She believes that love is meant to be shared (among the right people). She also believes that not all poly relationships need to involve sex to be happy and functional. Throughout high school she "shared" all of her boyfriends. Since then she has, at different times, been part of 3 types of romantic poly relationships. She has chosen a sexually monogamous relationship, but has poly relationships with other individuals.
