Ménage à Trois (Charisma)

Today we talk about scripts around what words like community mean. We talk about housing and how we’ve been taught to “live together” either in couples or with roommates. How does that look for folks off script like triads? We’ll talk about relationship orientation, the traditional white-picket fence Canadian dream, gender and its impact on scripts, queerness and its impact on scripts, and we’ll even chat a bit about environmental sustainability. Really, we aren’t having happy, loving relationships with more than two people for the sake of the planet, but hey - it’s a legit benefit! Now let’s chat about triads here on Intimate Interactions. Do you identify as non monogamous? Can you explain what a triad is? Did you practice polyfidelity, a sort of closed triad or did you practice non exclusivity and more of an open triad? How did your triad decide to practice that and what sorts of conversations were had around that? Did anyone ever object to that style of triad? What are the pros of being in a triad for you? What are the cons of being in a triad for you? Do you think you’d try another triad if you had the opportunity in future and why?
