Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Research shows that 20 million American couples are in sexless marriages and relationships. Many other couples decide to stay together even though they are not happy in their monogamous marriage, because of financial reasons, family unity, or religious values. #2 Consensual nonmonogamy is a relationship between two people who agree to have sexual or romantic relationships with other people. It is the opposite of monogamy, which describes relationships between two people who agree to sexual and romantic exclusivity. #3 CNM relationships can occur between any two people, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. They typically involve an open relationship, wherein a couple decides to include experiences with other people for sexual pleasure. #4 In the polyamorous community, I would be considered a bipoly, or someone who is both bisexual and polyamorous.

Open
Author: Jenny Block
Publisher: Seal Press
ISBN: 0786744340
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Finally, a book about open marriage that grapples with the problems surrounding monogamy and fidelity in an honest, heartfelt, and non-fringe manner. Jenny Block is your average girl next door, a suburban wife and mother for whom married life never felt quite right. While many books on this topic presuppose that the reader is ready to embrace an “alternative lifestyle,” Block operates from the assumption that most couples who are curious about or engaged in open marriages are in fact more like her — normal people who question whether monogamy is right for them; good people who love their spouses but want variation; capable parents who are not deviant just because they choose to be honest about their desires. Open challenges our notions of what traditional marriage looks like, and presents one woman's journey down an uncertain path that ultimately proves open marriage is a viable option for her and others.
