Tory Ojeda is a 20-year-old woman living in Jacksonville, Florida and she’s in a polyamorous relationship with four men. Currently, she’s expecting her first child with one of the four partners as the biological father.
She told that the five of them will raise the baby together as a family. Like other expecting mothers, she’s looking forward to the birth of her baby girl, but unlike other women, she’ll definitely have more help!
Criticized, but Feeling Happy for Her Family
Even though Ojeda has been criticized by her family and friends about the special nature of her relationship in the past, she’s now living happily with 4 men who she’s been with for several years.
Christopher, one of her partners, claims that the pregnancy of his partner has helped his family accept this polyamorous nature of the family.
Ojeda met Marc, her first partner in junior high and they began dating while in high school. She became polyamorous when she fell in love with Travis, one of her friends. They began dating as well.
Later on, she also started dating two of her other friends, Christopher and Ethan. After a vacation together this year, Ojeda found that she was pregnant. Marc is the biological father, but they’ll raise the baby collectively.
The five of them live together and have turns sleeping with Ojeda to make sure everyone gets ‘quality time’.
Is there Jealousy in their Relationship?
Similarly to other types of amorous relationships, polyamorous ones also deal with jealousy. But, in a lot of polyamorous relationships, all of the partners have romantic relationships with each other; however, the partners of Ojeda are dating her only, not each other.
Despite the presence of jealousy from time to time, her partners are still positive and try to maintain a healthy outlook on any conflicts that may happen.
Ojeda is seven months pregnant and will give birth in two months.
More and more People Are Non-Monogamous?
Despite the family structure of Ojeda being unconventional for some people, according to recent findings, a lot of people are actually considering a non-monogamous relationship.
In fact, a new research which was presented at The Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality concluded that 20 percent of individuals have had polyamorous relationships and most of them have at least fantasized of a non-monogamous one.
Though most didn’t act on their fantasies, 70 percent of those who have reported having one said they were satisfied from the experience and claimed it was better than they expected it to be.
