UPDATE:
I was at the Book Stow today and saw this book there, so I thumbed through it.
There isn’t much “Science” in this book. It’s mainly stories of people this broad interviewed
on this Open Relationship Wave, and how it should be normalized.
Lowlights:
- She only talked to two dudes.
One of whom is a male friend of hers she used to work with (who she admits she wants to fucc)…
When he married his wife, she basicaly told him he “was free to pursue any dream he had during their
marriage because she didn’t want him to feel like she owned him, and she didn’t want to feel owned either.
Just don’t let it get to where it interfered with their marriage”
He didn’t because he didn’t want anybody else…but 10 years later, he finds out she fuccing somebody
else, and she’s “in love with” him and doesn’t know what to do.
At that moment, Dude says ”I am her husband, and I don’t want to break my family- plus this is a stressful
situation for her, and she said it was alright for me…so I tell her ‘maybe you should just keep seeing him
to see how things work out”
So his wife has two husbands. It’s fine because the other guy
A) is a decent dude
B) is the exact opposite of the kind of dude he is, so he understands that his wife needs someone different
C) is a great cook, he comes over and makes dinner
D) is great with the kids, they call him Uncle
E) doesn’t do any PDA with his wife in front of him, even though he never asked for that
His friends and neighbors ask him how he handles it, and he tells them the above.
(couldn’t be me, doe)
- There’s a whole chapter about how Cuckolding is problematic - not for men, but for women.
Because men who are cuckolds think they are controlling who their wives have sex with,
and that’s demeaning to women (!!!).
- “I’m a nerd and I dress frumpy, having a husband and a boyfriend is
the only thing I do that might be considered weird - so really I’m not weird”
- “The backlash I get from people isn’t so much about my lifestyle -
but more so hate because my partners are two non-White men”
- The book ends with her saying (correctly imo) the greatest Autonomy is the right to choose…
…especially our partners. But she thinks we should get over the “sin” (she uses that word)
of feeling bad if we want more than one.
So yeah…do with that info what you will.
with all these women filing for divorce and divorce rates through the roof and all these women cheating on men they really making marriage in this day and age super attractive...
