“Do you think anyone could be in an open relationship with the right attitude, or are some people just hardwired for monogamy and others are hardwired for polyamory?…
Some people do believe you are hardwired for one or the other, but I think it’s a lot more complex than that. Certainly, there are some people who gravitate toward monogamy and it works for them. There are others who cannot imagine being in a monogamous relationship and all attempts they’ve made have felt wrong for them. I want people to create the individual relationships that work for them, and not get so caught up in what they think they should be doing, what everyone else is doing, or what they’re supposed to do.

ETA: I just realized that I went to an erotica writing workshop taught by rkb last year at The Pleasure Chest. Awesome.
