polyamory
Thanks for sharing this. I always appreciate the personal nature. Inspires me to share a tiny bit of my history… For a time I was neither poly nor monogamous—my mom would have called it "dating"—but I seriously dated a woman who was polyamorous and got to experience some classic... Agree - Specially on most poly couples do not last a decade. Know of one couple who has been poly and now it’s been at least 3 decades maybe more. They are the anomaly most likely. They met in high school and have been together ever since.... very cool, thanks for sharing. I haven’t heard people make such a strong stand about these specifics of "unethical polyamory" and I appreciate it, even though I haven’t thought about it long enough to have a strong opinion.... A few of the things I got from the book- there are tons of ways to be in a relationship, that satisfy all kinds of relational and sexual preferences.... Funny to choose art as the thing to evaluate with here… While there are folks with a keen eye, and clear "rules" for certain kinds of art– it’s still wildly subjective. Even art done well in a specific style will not appeal to everyone.... Point: The poly focus of attention tends to be the relationships themselves, often a kind of relational narcissism, rather than the relationship being a foundation for engaging the world in love (ironically). This is my version of the poly is impractical argument....
