Dear Miss Adventure,
I am thinking about asking my boyfriend to be in a poly-amorous relationship, can you recommend any ways to bring up the topic? - Three's Company in Cohasset
Dear TCC,
Once, Miss Adventure was making her way through a bedside copy of sex guru Tristan Taormino's excellent book "Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships." But Mr. Adventure got so agitated, we thought better of it and switched back to our yoga magazine. Don't let this stop you from exploring the new math of modern love. Here's what Taormino says about her reader response so far, "The feedback has been mostly positive. One amazing thing is that I've gotten e-mails and reviews from mostly monogamous people. People who came to it thinking, ‘This isn't about me. I'm not going to learn anything, in fact, I'm going to feel insulted.' And they found all this information about relationships that resonated with their own lives. To me, that's what brings the book to a different level. That it's not just about open relationships, but about relationships in general and what skills you need to make them work." Now you try with better results.
