Meet proud polyamorists Kamala Devi and her husband Michael McClure … and their live-in girlfriend Rachel Rickards (left).
From the moment Kamala and Michael started dating 10 years ago, the couple knew monogamy wasn’t for them. So they have up to a dozen different lovers each. And they insist their lifestyle is good for their six-year-old son, Devin.
One of their lovers, Rachel, has even moved into their home – and marital bed – in San Diego, California six months ago. Kamala is thrilled with the arrangement. She says when she first decided to get pregnant, she and Michael “had a visionary conversations about raising children together in a poly family household.”
Rachel not only keeps things spicy in the bedroom, she also provides a helping hand when it comes to raising their six-year-old son, Devin.
On her website, Kamala explains that when her son is old enough to ask about relationships, "I’ll have to sit him down and explain that there exists a thing called 'monogamy'. He may be confused about why so many mommies and daddies would chose to have only one special lover, when our home is so full of special aunties and uncles who are always giving him attention, gifts and cuddles. Afterall, Polyamory is all he has ever known.
"Yet, it’s important to note that my son’s childhood is not entirely defined by how his parents chose to love. His poly family may not be ‘normal,’ but by every standard, he is a bright, healthy, happy boy.
