PETER ARMENIA

No, I'm not a potter, but my wife is. And I do love potters, working with their hands, making art from the earth itself, they are literally the epitome of down-to-Earth. But I do like to get my hands dirty trying new things, asking questions, letting my curiosity take me down many paths. I guess that's how I got on the path to polyamory.

I've studied both computer science and photography (with a sprinkling of psychology and anthropology), and have worked professionally at both. I'm one that usually follows my passions, and that led me to combine the two for a while when I worked as a software engineer for Kodak in Rochester, NY. But the cubicle could only hold me and my curiosity for so long and eventually I left that behind, moving to Durham, North Carolina to travel the world and pursue photography from a journalistic/fine art perspective.

I've now traveled to over 50 countries and all 50 of these United States, but my curiosity never ends. All along the way I've been delving into the inner landscapes I encountered, with my decades long friendships, partners, lovers, friends of friends. Asking and revealing freely and willingly. Apparently I'm not a stereotypical guy, and I've found I somehow create a space where people feel at ease opening up. Over time, as I was charting my own path in ethical non-monogamy, I began to realize what really makes an open relationship truely open is not simply opening the sexual aspect, but rather the act of truly and honestly opening up with ourselves and our partners, letting go of fear, embracing vulnerability and bathing every relationship in authenticity.

Today I live in New York City with my wife and teen-age daughter. I freely use the terms poly, ENM, open and queer to describe my relationships.
