    Any other books or resources recommended on the topic of monogamy/polyamory?

    Lately in my life i have been exploring of what relationships mean to me and am very curious the nature of things, I have “Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State” on my reading list, but would like to add more, and this seems like a topic you have put time into.

    Sorry if this isnt the place for it.

      The book I referenced above, Sex at dawn, is a great anthropological study of human sexuality for most of our history. I’d def start with modern scientific works like these.

      As far as more enlightened views of human sexual relationships, and those rejecting patriarchy and monogamy, a few writers: mary wollstonecraft, the utopian socialists like robert owen, Kollontai (make way for winged eros is a good starting point).

          No probs. Ya it’s understandably a touchy subject for a lot of ppl, but its our job to be as kollontai said: loving-comrades, and not act as owners over the sexual and romantic lives of our partners.
