What does PLAB stand for?

Answered By: G

G's Version: – 14 October 2003

Well, PLAB stands for consentual adults loving who they want, how they want. It stands for the freedom to make choices that fit circumstances of individuals instead of convenient state marital status coding schemes.

Oh, you wanted to know what the letters in PLAB stand for?

Are we all going to keep our names?

Answered By: G

Answered By: G (with C)

G's Version: – 4 December 2003

Did you ever consider just switching partners?

Answered By: C

C's Version: – 16 October 2003

How did we meet?

Answered By: B

B's Version: – 14 October 2003

Well, the short answer is that we met at a dinner party hosted by some poly/swinger friends of ours. But the real answer is a bit more convoluted.
