It feels like it’s pushing Synergy almost like an infomercial style.
weird formatting—could be that way just on kindle
the point of view isn’t always clear
I'm confused—this seems like a scientific paper but has a lot of anecdotes not for a diagnostic look
My history with polyamory has included three different polyamorous relationships during the past 20 years, with many monogamous relationships between them. But I only just now feel like I really get it.
I’ve been in my most recent poly relationship for two months, and I actually feel joy when my girlfriend gets sexual pleasure from someone else. And, for the first time, I’m going to explore my freedom inside (and outside) this relationship. No more will I be a monogamous partner to a poly person. Now, I’m truly a poly person, too. It took a LOT of mental adjusting to get here, but I feel much happier because my needs can be more successfully met by two women instead of one.
Reading this book was interesting because it taught me a lot of the history involved in the poly community. It also taught me that many poly people joined groups/communes and had to follow a lot of rules. Some of the groups even sounded suspiciously cult-like. This is not the way I view polyamory, nor is it anything I would ever do. Fortunately, people are more open about polyamory these days, so there’s not as much of a need for an entire group setting.
