Ran into this while chasing unrelated links. It's a people piece about a
set of polyamorous/trans partners. It's fluff, but it's respectfully
written and made me think of this place.

I don't love the link text ("greatest-sexual-taboo..."), but the
article's pretty good.

I spent the morning writing a long piece to a friend who wanted to know
how she and her husband could handle jealousy if they opened up their
relationship, and I kept invoking this place. Really made me remember
what a lifesaver it was to have someplace to turn when things were rough
in my first marriage. Thanks, all.

I'm not even sure if "sexual taboo" is a useful notion, as opposed
to merely "taboo" (which itself has its limits on usefulness).

I agree the article is pretty good.

I thought the article was fun, but, to me, it had more to do with the world
of transgendered folk than poly folk. Granted, the latter had its day, but
I was more impressed by the tolerance of the previously-defined straight
woman to still love her husband/wife after the transition than the
transition into a poly relationship.

Finally got around to this, and yeah, it's remarkably sane.
