Hypocrisy a Trois?

[emanix]

I really have no idea where to start with commenting on this article on triad relationships versus sensible poly- anyone care to start?

And here I was thinking you were having a last minute wobble about the three of us living together... :) Nice to see you're just annoyed at stupid people.

Hmmm...just finished reading the article now. Looks like the guy is glamorizing things more than a little. 'oh look, all these famous people have experimented with troilism. Surely it is good, and surely engaging in it will make me great and famous too!'

Coincidentally I saw and read that article earlier today, and the plan was to show it to you and ask for your opinion, but I guess there's no need for that anymore...

Maybe I've just been in too many 'hot topic' communities all through my life, but this is about what I'd expect from any mainstream media on any topic - namely deliberately aiming an impression at the uninformed reader that everything to do with the subject is just as they describe ...

Actually, I've just noticed something. This was in the "Women" section, but was written by a man. I guess the piece was written with a view to getting a few married women to decide that the answer to their marital stagnation is to take on a younger lover.

Personally, I think you should write a long and well-informed letter, citing more than a single anecdote and a few famous names as backup, explaining why poly is better. Oh, and name-checking Tilda Swinton, since the lovely author failed to mention her happily open method of troilism. Prefereably using the phrase "pretentious, self-adoring, media-grad arse" at some point. :)
