I've learned never to read the comments on a mainstream media site when they talk about anything sexually or relationship alternative. It's usually a shit show.
Actually, the comment section is full of interesting and thoughtful discussion. There doesn't seem (to me) to be a landslide of ignorant, negative asides, but a lot of thorough back and forths. The comment section is more interesting that the article, which is often the case because more people are involved and the ideas are developed further. Give the comments another try. Someone even quoted Oscar Wilde!
