Finding what works for you in non-monogamy is highly personal and contextual – it can be tricky to know where your own boundaries lie. Quite often, we don’t know we want a boundary somewhere, until it has already been crossed. This journal is designed to help you explore and anticipate potential needs and conflicts – perhaps before they’ve even arisen!
Within these pages are dozens of scenarios to explore, themed around Boundaries, Structure, Emotions, Compromises, Sexuality and Infidelity. With topics that include meeting and managing metamours, beginning relationships with infidelity, cowpoking, sexual health, One Penis Policies, compersion, first nights together – and so many more – this is the perfect companion for working out your own unique approach to non-monogamy.
