6/ Indeed. An "assignation" on the sly seems far more titillating than using Google calendars to coordinate with your wife what night she's boning with Pedro so that you can take Melinda to the folk dance.https://twitter.com/FormerlyFormer/status/1189194682775068681 …

7/ Although - DAMNIT ! - I can't let this go without being fair to my poly acquaintances and steelmanning it. They'd argue "but it's not ABOUT titillation or sex - it's about multiple fulfilling relationships!" sigh

8/ not so much "missing", as "not addressing" JAB and I are both specifically talking about one set ...and it's not the set you're talking about. My experience of poly is people who talk about it ENDLESSLY.https://twitter.com/random_eddie/status/1189195755891896322 …

Eddie, Son of Richard @random_eddieReplying to @MorlockP @j_arthur_bloomYou're missing an excluded middle here. People who a) have consensual, non-monogamous relationships (so there's nothing "on the sly" about it) but b) don't make a big deal about calling their relationships "consensual, non-monogamous".3 replies 0 retweets 7 likesShow this thread -

9/ Well, sure. Selection bias. But it's legitimate to judge those who select into set X, and not address those who do not.https://twitter.com/random_eddie/status/1189196296688734208 …

My thread is about the TERMINOLOGY. I specifically said that other terms for the EXACT SAME THING were sexy.

Replying to @MorlockP @drethelin and
The other terms you mentioned are not, in fact, the exact same thing. Mistress does not equal ... whatever the poly kids call it today. The fact is, there aren't good terms for it, so the nerds invented some pretty awful terms to meet their needs, as nerds are wont to do.

> some pretty awful terms ... as nerds are wont to do. so we're 100% agreed, then?

Replying to @MorlockP @drethelin and
We're 100% agreed that the terms are awful, yes, but there's quite a bit more that you're arguing in this thread besides that (some of it explicitly, some of it implicitly) - of which I agree with some and disagree with some.

not arguing, for the most part, but invoking as actual experiences via footnotes to support the core argument the footnotes have no thesis, and are merely "here's what I saw"
