Coming Soon

I’m developing a sex-positive-marketplace where merchants can list products made specifically for the poly, swinger, and kink communities without fear of getting pulled from the platform.

Now accepting merchants

In the post Babe, this isn’t working out, I said that I wanted to:

Open up an application process for poly creators and makers to be able to list their products.

When JustPolyThings first came online, I reached out to independent creators of non-monogamous merch hoping to start affiliate partnerships.

But what I found was that many independent creators don't even have their own online stores, let alone an affiliate program setup to track links and commissions.

They sell on places like Threadless and Instagram, which means linking back to them couldn't support this site. It also means their products can be at risk of being pulled or shadow-banned by mainstream platforms.

Why a marketplace like Etsy or ebay?

Running an online store is a huge amount of work, and platforms like Shopify and Squarespace usually charge pretty hefty monthly fees.

On top of that, open relationships can be wrongfully considered an "Illicit" topic. Why spend your effort and time building a store when it will constantly be at risk of taken down?

Last year Etsy made a crackdown on stores with adult content and products shortly after rejecting JustPolyThings' application to become an affiliate partner. You can read about that in the story Is polyamory an Illicit Topic?

No More Nazi Bars

Too bad Etsy won’t do the same thing to stores selling nazi merch and memorabilia. 

As mainstream platforms everywhere from X (Twitter)to Etsy get taken over by a rising alt-right movement, we need to create new spaces where intolerance will not be tolerated. (Follow us on Bluesky!)

JustPolyThings Marketplace will be a space where 2SLGBTQIA+ voices are not just safe but amplified, where sex & body-positivity reign supreme, and ableism isn’t welcome. 

The more partners the better!

JustPolyThings is actively building this brand new marketplace, shopping cart, and checkout experience, but more testing partners are needed!

Are you a polyamory or ethical non-monogamy creator? 

You can apply to receive a merchant setup invitation. Please visit the Become a Merchant page. 

Don't want to become a merchant, but have a poly thing to share?

If you don't make your own products, but you know of an awesome product that our community would love, we have a different Contact Form for that. Please feel free to share!
