I came across mention of a relatively new book (publication date: November 1, 2023) on the history of polyamory in America: American Poly: A History by Christopher M. Gleason. It's been well reviewed so far and promises to be an important addition to poly literature - and looks to be an...

https://time.com/6568590/dating-non-monogamy-polyamory-match-singles-in-america/ Reasonably informative, brief read - with some surprising numbers (or so it seems to me). The article mentions the origins of CNM going back to the pre-agrarian tribal times - as Ryan discusses in detail in his...

I happened to come across this today. Nothing especially profound, but might be of interest to some. https://www.aol.com/don-t-ask-don-t-215500535.html

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/why-bad-looks-good/202209/when-romantic-partner-asks-open-relationship This short article appeared on that section of my smart phone that suggests articles based on your interests (presumably according to browsing history). It was barely worth noticing...

The book, Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma and Consensual Nonmonogamy, by Jessica Fern happened to show up in my Amazon list of suggested books - not surprisingly as I've ordered the Kindle versions of a couple dozen or so poly-related books from them, but it's been a couple of years since I've...

This article seems to be making the rounds lately - my long distance partner just posted it to the poly FB group that she moderates - and I noticed it linked on three other poly FB groups that I monitor as well. So thought I would share it here as well. While it might be of particular interest...

Another Poly PSA: Multiamory's most recent podcast is an interview with Tristan Taormino, author of the highly regarded poly text: Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships. https://www.multiamory.com/podcast/301-solo-polyamory-with-tristan-taormino

Just a PSA for fans of the Polyamory Weekly podcast - After an 8 month hiatus, Cunning Minx has posted a new podcast - aptly entitled "Where the fuck have we been?". https://polyweekly.libsyn.com/588-where-the-f-ck-have-we-been

This came across one of the FB poly groups that I monitor - just for fun, I thought I would share. :) Not a musical masterpiece, but good for a smile. (Apologies if this has been posted before - I seem to recall having seen this somewhere, but not sure when or where).

My long distance girlfriend, Wendy, posted this on their local FB group - so thought I would share here as well. Some interesting thoughts. "What I mean when I say "toxic monogamy culture": the normalization of jealousy as an indicator of love the idea that a sufficiently intense love is...

After listening to a podcast on poly and science fiction in which Robert Heinlein was the lead topic of the discussion, I wrote the following email to the presenters - as I did not feel they were fully versed on his works or his life. I thought that I would share it here as well - given that...

Hi Everyone - I hope that everyone is surviving the Apocalypse. I haven't had many opportunities to post here recently. The Covid situation has resulted in my wife, Becky, and I both working at home (I actually have been working at home for some time, but now we both are), all while now...

I occasionally listen to some of the podcasts on multiamory.com, a very worthwhile poly podcast site - worth checking out, for those who have not already. I particularly enjoyed this podcast from a few weeks back - a collection of audio clips from "real" poly people...

My LDR partner posted this today (Valentines Day, 2020) on her Facebook Page. Although she confessed that she "borrowed" it from one of her local patners :) I found it wonderfully written and thought I would pass it on here. Happy ILIC Day, Poly Community! -------------------- Happy...

So apparently, some have decided that November 23 should be National Polyamory Day - anniversary of a pro poly court ruling in Canada. :) https://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com/2019/11/polyamory-day-is-coming-up-and-why.html

I saw a link to this on my FB page and thought I would share it as I suspect it reflects a gradually growing public awareness and acceptance of CNM and poly. Although personally I share Robert Heinlein's view of celebrity opinions: "The United States has become a place where entertainers and...
