It's also about the importance of emotional promiscuity, and heavily focuses on the internal work and understanding required for less rigid frameworks for relationships. There's a lot of reflective exercises that felt better suited to a therapeutic relationship. I liked it a lot.
This wasn't entirely new territory for me, as someone who used to read a lot of books on nonmonogamy and Spade's last book "Mutual Aid." This blended a lot of elements from both but isn't just a guide for open relationships.

Not being able to differentiate between a feeling you have inside and a person DOING something to you is a long-standing, often ignored, addressable problem. How much could change if it wasn’t typical to experience new information as a hostile confrontation when it makes you uncomfortable?

Sometimes I feel like a failure in the attention economy both online and in person. There's not a lot of space for people to be slow burns, to get comfortable and open up slowly.
