Laughed out loud several times, but being the new Sex Karen about did it for me. Excellent work. Also, love the painting.

"you know what's great? monogamy!" good, good shit - I cackled.

speaking as a poly person, you uh really hit the nail on the head of why I don't date around the poly scene in my city. byzantine negotiations and summoning rituals for loose, tangential connections. seems like a fucking hassle idk. just keeping it in the dl and having two long terms (who I live with and are on good terms) has worked pretty well for me.

this was so flippant and inflammatory. these new adventures rip. excited for more.

Poly - Just another way of telling the world you have commitment issues. That and maybe an STD.

This piece is hilarious and so spot on it's fucking amazing. That's why it works. ;-)

This is the only relief I’ve had from my spiraling mind in the past week.

And you’re 100% spot on about the impact of hardcore porn, I blame a big chunk of the election results on it.

Call me crazy!

Your descriptions of dese yoots makes me think they are highly medicated-just taking the wrong drugs (given to them by their parents daily from a very young age).

And they pursue mocktail in their dating lives, not just at the bar.

The trouble with polyamory is that it takes up too many evenings.

"the majority of Americans are dumber than soap" and have been for decades, ever since television started dumbing everything down. I go back to Paddy Chayefsky's speech from Network, Howard Beale ranting about the evils of TV, and wonder if he ever guessed how bad it could get. Thank the gods and devils we still have a few Writers with a clear, sardonic voice and a nut-crackingly clear view.
