Monogamy

A taxonomy of sexual commitment — what we promise, what we pretend, and what we actually mean.

The sting of rejection is a gift I’d never get if I were monogamous. I’m not sure I’d call it a gift I *want*, but it’s one I need.

Apparently, I underestimated how people would react if I questioned their monogamy. I won’t make that mistake again.

In which I foolhardily attack other people’s monogamy. And their “monogamy.” By wondering just how many people who think themselves monogamous really are.
