My boyfriend’s best friend just started dating a woman who openly calls herself a swinger – It makes me nervous

Reading Time: 2 minutes Non-monogamous people who engage ethically and with good intentions tend to have better communication skills regarding sex and consent, and if you’d like to learn more about how people manage these interactions, I’d read “The Ethical Slut” 3rd edition by Janet Hardy and Dossie Easton, or More Than Two by Rickert and Veaux.
