I'd like to propose a different way to contrast multiple partner
relationships. I think a grid or table of concepts and their
attributes would be more useful than diagrams. For example:
concept multiple consensual concurrent sexual loving
mono x x x
serial mono x x x x
platonic x x x x
swinging x x x x
poly x x x x x
adultery x x x ?
rape x x x
x = an attribute that is essential to the concept. My apologies if
the x's don't wind up making sense in your email reader, but I think
this presents the idea at least.
? = I like the Heinlein definition of love, more or less. Deciding
whether someone who says they are in love "really" is in love may be
fodder for another discussion.
