What if we didn't put a leash on love? What if the actual love experience could mean more and not less?

This is not the society we grew up in. We grew up with people all around, all trying to control our every step, not to mention our bodies! They want to control everything that happens in and out of our bodies. But especially the outer form, the part of us everybody sees but no one truly cares about.

Now, here we are: controlled and perfectly tamed. I live a life like this but it does not match all of my needs. Most of us have the love that we prayed for, but what about that itch? That feeling that we can and should go wild? What if I fall in lust with another woman or a man or other, but still want to keep the man I cherish? Do I have to leave him for the other that scratches that itch? I don't want to. I want to keep both, but I can't.

Exhausting, isn't it? That's why you are here. Let's dive into this together.

In 2020, the average age for marriage was approximately 31 years. This is a relatively massive jump compared to 1970 when most married by age 20.

Back in the day, women and men were groomed to "settle down" after college. Men were expected to be the breadwinners, while women, even after higher education, were told to stay at home to support their husbands and families.

A lot has changed since the early 1970s. Traditional gender roles have been turned on their heads, with women and men sharing household and income responsibilities. The percentage of stay-at-home dads is way up in the present day. Here's something that hasn't changed over time: women in the US file for divorce 75% of the time. Clearly, something isn't working for these women in the traditional monogamous model.

Women are looking for something else; something more. Polyamory and polysexual relationships are part of the consideration. However, even with the acceptance and celebration of different gender and sexual identities, non-traditional relationships are viewed as kinky to many. Still largely taboo, these relationship styles are often kept "hush-hush."

For hyper-sexual women and those desirous for non-traditional relationships, we have to fight against the imposed shame from peers, family, and society. Even in this 21st century!
