Quote

There are any number of positive motivators for couples to try nonmonogamy, but what you don’t want to do is rely on nonmonogamy to slap a Band-Aid on existing problems. “Using nonmonogamy to fix a relationship is as effective as having a baby to fix a relationship — it’s a terrible idea,” said Rebecca Sokoll, a psychotherapist in New York City. “You need a strong and healthy relationship to make the transition to nonmonogamy.”

Actually a very well written article that sounds like what is repeated over and over right here it the forum. Well worth the 5 minutes it takes to read.

This is what is so transformational. It is well-written. It does align with what the community has been saying. And it is utterly non-judgmental. 

 

That is not to say that nudism or the LS are any less "alternative" ways to live. But we seem to have passed through the Puritan and prurient responses to authentic curiosity and rational discourse. In our view, that's extraordinary.

Most likely, it's not an "us" (the community) being understood by "them" (the media or whoever), but we are growing and are part of them.
