Hello Roza,

I am a lurker on this board for quite some time now. I have lived in a poly
relationship for 4 years now with two women. I have enjoyed the board and
what has been written here but I have simply chosen to lurk until I felt I
had something to add. And now I do! A book you could use for your research
has been written by Helen Fisher, PhD called The Anatomy of Love.

It cites over one hundred other resources that could help you with your
research as well as being a damn good read for anyone who wants to know how
and why people might be inclined to live the way we do. It was one of the
first books that I read that did not make me think something was wrong with
me and my choice of lifestyle. You are in luck that if you want to take a
look at the publication, before you consider buying it, you can see it
online at the following link. And of course if anyone else is interested,
you can see it there as well.

Hope that helps.
