You don’t have to be romantically involved to live happily with your two husbands. But it does take poly-type attitudes, and may draw CNN to your door. http://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com/2009/03/honorary-polys-of-month.html ** “. . .and your NRE-besotted date nods and says ‘Oh, yes, I'm cool with that’ and smiles wonderfully at you, and you thank the Goddess that your date *gets it* -- and on both sides, DeNile flows down to the sea.” Advice on delivering the “I’m polyamorous” message. http://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com/2009/03/savage-love-on-poly-denial.html ** A Psychology Today columnist says we don’t exist, and we offer corrections. http://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com/2009/03/psychology-today-columnist-lays-egg-of.html ** A playwright explores poly themes in All My Love, running through May 10th in Chicago.

Understanding the options from the outset. http://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com/2009/03/more-love-you-give-away-more-you-have.html ** More poly awareness on campus. http://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com/2009/01/poly-awareness-on-campus.html ** Poly in happy Denmark: “Love: Spend four days with a confident husband and three with a fiery lover, put three toothbrushes in the holder, and skip the bad conscience when Christmas dinner ends with a trip to somewhere else.” http://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com/2009/01/danish-poly.html ** Esquire magazine, in a thoughtful essay, proposes that “Big Love” and mainstream attention to polyamory show “that Americans are desperate to believe in a happy family again — any happy family. Far from declining under this revolution in who lives with whom, the American family is resurgent, even as it splinters into kaleidoscopically shifting arrangements of varying sizes and shapes and intensities.” http://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com/2009/01/poly-and-family-in-esquire-magazine.html ------------------ Here's the site: http://polyinthemedia.blogspot.com/ The 10 most recent items are up front.
