Nope - although there's a storm coming in tonight or tomorrow. We still have our snow from the last storm though - it will probably be here till May

It can be amazing if it's done right. With my two guys it is mind blowing. They know what I like and I know what drives them wild. They also now and respect each other's kinks. Just wish it happened more often LOL

There's nothing even worth ordering in around here. Really. All it is is pizza (like ten places), and I hate pizza.

Pizza is one of the few things here. Well, Chinese food too, but that's a no-go.

My intro was kinda pretenscious. Like "You guys knew you missed me" or something lame.

As for the books, I loved Opening Up. With a passion. It was one of the neatest open relationships books I've ever read. It's caused me to read a couple other books like "Open" (here on EF), and I should be reading the Ethical Slut soon, but I'm currently reading Em & Lo's Rec Sex.

Open is a great book as well. I'm not sure I agree with Jenny Block's insistence on human's not being 'wired'for monogamy arguments but I do like her take on pretty much everything else.

Yeah. It was a good look into open relationships - especially since I will probably never be in one. Jor doesn't like the idea of it, and I wouldn't consider BDSM play with other people as an open relationship even though it probably is. I like seeing other's looks into it though. Aside from Opening Up, Ethical Slut, and Open, does EF sell any other open relationships books?

We sell a crappy book about how to have a threesome but unless you are looking for a plan on how NOT to arrange a group situation I don't recommend it.

I don't think BDSM relationships qualify as open...they usually are pretty scripted and governed. As you know lots don't include actual sex and seem to be as damaging to an otherwise healthy relationship as say being in the local theater group. It CAN be quite time consuming though. I suppose if it becomes a situation where you are emotionally or physically invested in the reltaionship it could be either open or even full on poly.

I agree. I don't think anything is accomplished, no greater understanding of human behavior is achieved when we make claims like "humans are wired for this or that is in our DNA...(this reminds me of a post I read recently from some guy who claimed submission was programmed into a woman's DNA, or not, but I wonder which chromosome is the submissive one).

I think human beings are, because of their sentient abilities, capable of whatever they desire to be. Limiting ourselves by claiming we are meant by biology to be just a particular way (when so many successfully flout this "way" ) just makes me crabby.

Man, I'm sleepy, I hope that made sense. I am typing with my fingers tonight, the brain is not involved at all.

I fully disagree. When I do something wrong, someone else gets spanked.
