The time has come to tell your friends and family about your preference for
nonmonogamy. You’re on the cusp of self-liberation—so why does it feel so daunting,
or even scary, like you’re about to confess to some sinister transgression?
This is normal. You are not alone. Even in progressive families and communities,
people who practice nonmonogamy are susceptible to misinformation and accusations
of moral and emotional failings. Facing this requires its own coming out and
education process.
Let this book be your roadmap for explaining the expansive intricacies of
the consensual nonmonogamy spectrum. Tamara Pincus and Rebecca Hiles fuse personal
experience and community research to break down the various incarnations of
polyamorous relationship structures, the intersections of polyamory with race
and gender, and the seemingly esoteric jargon of the lifestyle. If you absolutely
have to explain what a “unicorn hunter” is to your auntie, Tamara has you covered.
“Can poly people raise children? Can they live normal, healthy lives?” Such
questions, grounded in myths typical of those faced by sexual minorities, are
eloquently answered, and the real dangers of being out as poly in a monogamy-centered
society are frankly laid bare.
No matter the conversation you’re going in, It’s Called “Polyamory” helps
you come out confident.
