no clue why so many circles go to bat for it. pompous and high as fuck on its own farts. cant get any points across without putting others down or talking themselves up. its definitely for people who are already into that sort of thing and/or looking for something to feel superior about. it doesnt go over anything helpful like communication, boundaries, or dynamics, but constantly says how important they are. i half believe the authors just wanted to publish their smut while feeling good about themselves at the expense of everyone who isnt them or like them

i legitimately find nothing of value in its existence, let alone its purported "content"

its like, the relationship-dynamic book version of liberals "dunking" on conservatives

it doesnt convince anyone of anything. it doesnt teach anyone anything. its just a sticky-floored masturbatory unearned pat on their own back

trash

"you dont want to kiss your wife while her unintroduced lovers jUiCeS dribble down her chin like a springtime creek? why are you such a piece of shit? why are you confining her like that? are you stupid?"

i would recommend this book to someone if i wanted that person to think i was a sanctimonious asshole

I'm not polyam, i read it on a whim. what a waste of matter and time

Never read, but I was always told it was something like "hey it's ok to be a slut, but don't be shitty about it, establish boundaries and consent beforehand, don't hurt people"

But really, your description sounds more accurate to what I've seen from those sorts of communities, which are mostly "it wasn't actually cheating" and an incredible amount of unresolved parental issues.

it does do this too tbf. but its like, 1 part this for every 5 parts the OP. it skips right over preachy into talking down to the reader

Polysecure is a good read, but a bit dense in the first half.
