Internet Pushes Polyamory to Its 'Tipping Point'
Oddly enough internet magazine Wired.com's internet sex columnist thinks you lot can all thank... the internet.
"You can argue that before the internet, the poly community didn't exist," says Franklin Veaux, author of What, Like, Two Girlfriends?, a respected polyamory FAQ. "There's no question that the rise of the internet and the rise of polyamory coincided, although poly does predate the net by 6,000 years or so."
And it's not just internet sex columnist Regina Lynn. No, you're all geeks.
Geeks have not traditionally been viewed as relationship experts, yet as a subculture, we are open to alternative ways of life. We immerse ourselves in science fiction and fantasy, imagining other cultures and experiencing relationships not necessarily bound by puritanical traditions.
Thanks, Blake's Seven fanfic!
Which reminds me, one day I have to do that cybersex post. Ah, reminiscences.
