polyamory

I enter open relationships not as a ready participant in the established guidelines but as an interloper. I am always sure that I might be the exception.

It’s hard to pinpoint which direction “How to Transcend a Happy Marriage” embarks on, though, because it travels through numerous ideologies.

Social prescriptions limit the acceptable forms of love, and among the most difficult norms to defy is monogamy. If your instincts carry you outside social convention — as mine have — you must work all the more diligently for love to succeed.

With a dildo in one hand, a vibrator in another and an incognito tab at the ready, I dove into the treasure trove that was Reddit’s NSFW Plowcam page.

Polyamory, in practice, means consensual nonmonogamy. It doesn’t mean being a selfish dick and boning whoever you want left and right.
