For anyone who likes to draw outside the monogamous lines, ethically.
Whether you are polyamorous, in an open relationship, a swinger or just monogomish, this is the place for you.

Interesting concept.
The core idea of relationship equality regardless of sexual interaction/social expectations is a nice idea.
I wonder how practical this is in real life though.
Hierarchical relationships serve a practical purpose, they reduce cognitive burden, it’s difficult to not prioritise one person over the other.
There are people that do it and thrive. The author seems really happy with it.
For some there might be a lot of self reflection necessary to actually live like that.
And maybe for others this might not be desirable at all.
Hmm atleast the authors does not think that individual relationships cant be prioritized over others. Like you would still choose with eho you prefer to do what, like living or going on vacations.
To me the author puts more weight on the rejection of classical relationship archetypes and their hierarchization
