Polyamory in BDSM is a complex and challenging living arrangement no matter who you are. Poly and BDSM separately are entire worlds themselves so to put them together can only mean that there is going to be a lot of negotiation, communication and openness.
No matter where you go there is bound to be discussion about how to blend the two lifestyles. I've gathered a decent list of links, groups and resources related to poly relationships and those specific to BDSM relationships and situations.
Please add your own links in the comments and I'll put them in the post.
