Family & Relationships.
Nonfiction.
HTML:A look at how people are giving themselves a choice to love another way. More people than ever are exploring the possibility of opening up their relationships â?? and not only that, they are fighting for their legal rights to love however and whomever they choose. In Polyamorous, reporter Jenny Yuen digs into how polyamory affects underrepresented communities, why these unions are becoming more normalized, and how relationships with multiple partners can be a practical alternative to monogamy and an intriguing expedition through uncharted emotional territory. Pairing off is no longer the default option for many. For some, polyamory is just a part of who they are. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

tw for miscarriage in the book
This was the first nonfiction book I read on polyamory and I felt like it touched on all the important issues that I could think of. It was a mix of personal anecdotes and statistics/legality, it addressed racism and privilege in polya communities as well as the overlap with kinky communities, and featured plenty of queer people. Bonus points for referencing Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, which was a beautiful movie and I cried. It also features many, many types of polyamorous relationships, talks about jealousy, stresses the importance of consent, and says that polyamory is not for everyone and not somehow more "enlightened" than monogamy.
Overall I think this could be a good introduction for someone who is interested in polyamory, although it focuses mostly on Canada, so that sometimes got a little boring when only Canadian poly groups are mentioned at length. ( )
