Other Poly TNG Groups

These are the groups we know of for young poly people in other cities. If we don't have one listed in your area, you might contact your local BDSM group (which might have a BDSM TNG group too) for contacts and resources (whether or not you are kinky). If there doesn't seem to be a poly TNG group in your area, why not start one! (This information is also here.)
