Content warnings:
Three things to know before you decide to read and review Wild Monogamy:
First, the many stories in this book are not limited to heterosexual couples. In addition, the book has been reviewed by two professional LGBTQ+ reviewers to ensure it is accessible to and embracing of a diverse range of relationship orientations.
Second, the book explores ways for couples to deepen their connection on every level, including their physical intimacy. As such, it contains tasteful but explicit descriptions of ways for couples to improve and enhance their sexual connection.
Finally, it's just the way the world is today that more and more couples will, at some point, consider having an intimate experience with another person. With that in mind, the final chapter explores how to have honest and loving conversations about this possibility as well as how to compassionately work with any fears, insecurities, or jealousies so that the experiences are positive and rewarding for everyone involved. The chapter also includes in-depth discussions about why this is often not the best choice for many of the couples that might be considering it.
