Chapter One of my new book "Open: Love, Sex, and Life in an Open Marriage" is now available on my website. If you have the chance to read it, I would love to hear what you think.
I enjoyed reading the first chapter and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the book. I stumbled upon it after finding Portrait of an Open Marriage and really wanted to read more.
I have seen several parallels already to my life. My wife and I decided to open up our marriage about two years ago and have gone through some great times and challenging times.
I'm currently reading more, trying to see what other's experiences have been, and try to mine for some nuggets that may be useful for my wife and I.
Thanks for sharing, I have really enjoyed reading your writing.
Hi Jenny. I'm only halfway through the chapter but I had to stop and write. I'm enjoying it thoroughly, but that bit on the negative effect on men of women's ownership of their own sexuality on pages 11-12? Hallelujah and amen, sister. It's like they'll shrivel up and die if the women they're with actually suggest something. To me, it feels like an extension of the idea that girls shouldn't let on that they know more than boys about anything because they need to protect boys' fragile egos. *Gag* Ok, I've vented. Back to reading. -Araliya
OK, so I just finished it. It reads really well, Jenny and I can't wait to read the whole thing. I love the background information and the way you give such a clear sense of time and place while still relating it to the present day. Having read it, I feel 'equipped' to follow you on the rest of your journey. Do you mind if I link to it from Frangipani? I'd also like to share it with a bi/poly mailing list, if that's ok with you.
Thank you so much for BOTH of your comments! They mean a great deal to me and I would be thrilled to have you link to the chapter from your site as well as share it with your bi/poly mailing list. Will comment at your blog as well in case you don't see this!
Thank you so much for letting me know! I have no clue what's going on but I just emailed my web designer and hopefully she can work it out in short order. I hope you'll check back soon.
