YANT (yet another new term)
bikerbabe in black leather
A term that I have used off and on in the past that has served me well
is FAL. Friend And Lover. It's pretty descriptive of when a good
friend is also someone with whom I share sex, but with whom I'm not in
a relationship per se. I like it because it easy to say as well and
once I've introduced people to it, I can say it of someone and be
understood.
My little poly moment for the day :-)

I've always like "friend with access" or "friend with
benefits" (as in the Alanis Morrisette song). Not as easy to say as
"FAL", but, hey, I work in the computer industry: I don't need more
acronyms in my life.

FaL is a good term but dosen't seem to flow in conversation well.
as in 'this is Mike my FAL' vs 'this is Mike my toy' or 'this is Mike
my secondary' or whatever...

How about "Mike is a fal of mine?" or "What's your relationship with
Mike?" "We're fals."

That is exactly how I pronounce it, clueless folk just assume I said
pal :-)
