Your time <i>is</i> a finite resource; managing it is a challenge, and you can find yourself unable to give everybody you love the attention both they and you believe they deserve. Jealousy can be a problem that either you or a lover are unable to overcome. And they inexcusably gloss-over the issue of reproductive health; anybody who is both promiscuous and careless about their reproductive health frankly deserves to have some sex-negative epithets tossed their way.<br /><br />As an introduction to and partial exploration of the key concepts underlying healthy consensual non-monogamy, it's peerless. But as an exploration of the challenges waiting for you, it's sadly lacking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
