Re: [UUPoly-L] Another Model (was: Too many circles, lines, triangles.....)



Having brought up the phrase astral sex only once in my six years on this listserv, and knowing that there may be at least two definitions of astral sex, I seem to have about 246 or 1134 types of relating to other people. In the donjuanmatusian description of astral sex, the male sexual organ is the solar plexus. Enough Dr. Ruth for one day, and the female ground zero is the pubic bone.

But having had to deal with a femme fatale extrordinaire 13 years ago, I still identify as hoodoo eunuch, so asexual polyamory is my nom de plume, or primary sexual orientation. Retrosexual may be another, but I am not complaining about that. Now for ubersexual and mono,and omni and anti and para. Where do you go in your Eckankar dreaming body, Alice? Not Kansas, we know that.

Watever floats your boat.  shee,she.

Oh yes, I did meet Ellie's parents in a dream, and Ellie is very mono and that's just the way I like it. Ellie ain't fussing and you ain't either.

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.
