A Few Words About More Than Two

Have you read More Than Two yet? I have to admit I have not. One of the authors is Franklin Veaux, whose websites I have visited and whose Facebook postings and other online comments I have regularly enjoyed. Here is Jennifer Levin's take on the book, found at santafenewmexican.com...


Twenty years ago Veaux started a website, www.morethantwo.com, that has since become the go-to place for people navigating these complicated romantic arrangements, as the “poly” lifestyle has grown in popularity.
More importantly, it has grown in visibility.


The goal of More Than Two is to offer advice and dispel common myths, such as the idea that all poly people are kinky swingers. Poly is a relationship style, not a sexual practice, and many configurations exist within it. Being poly doesn’t necessarily involve group sex or anything particularly adventurous in the bedroom, although for some people it does.
As I've said before, the only thing all polyamorous people have in common is that they are people and they are polyamorous. There are polyamorous people who have far fewer partners over the course of their life than many self-proclaimed monogamists. There are polyamorous people of various religious traditions and no religious tradition, various political affiliations and no political affiliations, various income levels, so on and so forth.

Have you read the book? What do you think? I think it is great that there are books such as this one, The Ethical Slut, and Opening Up. I look forward to more books about polyamory in general as well as personal accounts of how people have lived a polyamorous life.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.

If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.

IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.
