NOTE: I posted the following entry last Friday afternoon and then took it down that evening. Something felt not quite right about it. So while I’m still eager to hear people’s thoughts on the matter, I sliced out the personal part. If you happened to catch that part during a few hours on Friday, well then, aren’t you lucky?
And no, the following is not a secret message/hint directed at anyone I know personally.

I’m doing an informal poll: what do you think of non-monogamy? More specifically, what’s your response to this first paragraph from The Ethical Slut:
Many people dream of living an open sexual life - of having all the sex and love and friendship they want. Most never try, believing that such a life is impossible. Of those who try, many give up, finding the challenges insurmountable - or at least too hard for them. A few persist, and discover that being openly sexual and intimate with many people is not only possible, but can be more rewarding than they ever imagined.
Do you know of people or are you someone who makes it work? Are you an absolutist or relativist regarding monogamy? Is the idea of non-monogamy appealing to you or not?
