Body Positivity and Healthy Sexuality Starts in Infancy

One of the things I hope for Dylan is that he grows up with a positive view of his body and the bodies of those around him and that he grows up with a healthy view of sex and his sexuality. As he gets older, those two things will diverge into different, huge topics, but here in his infancy they are close to the same thing. A positive view of the body sets the stage… Keep Reading

Strong Relationships Can Wait

Are you familiar with the beginning stages of a romantic or sexual relationship where you’re totally head-over-heels for the other person, mildly-to-severely obsessed, and all you want to do is be with the other person? And if you’re not with your new lover, all you want to do is talk about your new lover to other people? And everything ou does is perfect? When you’re polyamorous (as I am), sometimes when this happens, it’s your… Keep Reading

20 Years of Polyamory: The Wonderful

(Photo credit: Lel4nd) Momma Jorge recently asked: What about compersion? Is that a word that you use? Is it an emotion you have felt? Has it played a role in your relationships?

20 Years of Polyamory: Thoughts on Monogamy

(Photo credit: kirstea) I ended the last post by saying, “For me, polyamory is the clear, obvious, uncontested right thing to do.” An easy question that follows from that is, “Does that mean I think monogamy is the wrong thing to do?” The short answer is no, not at all.

Sex and Sexism For Babies

I’m fully caught up in looking at baby stuff these days. I’ve never enjoyed shopping, but apparently I love baby shopping. I was waiting for a ride in a Toys R Us the other day when I encountered something HORRIBLE. Keep Reading
