"As American as Adam, Eve and Apple Pie"Three In Love, menages a trois from ancient to modern times.A New Authors Guild Title by Barbara Foster, Michael Foster and Letha Hadady. Originally Published in hardcover by HarperCollins. Now available on iUniverse.com The menage a trois has long been the shadowy part of the landscape of human love. It has been explored in literature from the Book of Genesis to Robert Heinlein's futuristic fables. Many classic films, Design For Living for example, portray the threesome, as do more recent releases, such as Three of Hearts and Two Girls and a Guy. Even Allie McBeal has run three-themed shows. But the dynamics, emotions, and sexuality of the three, along with other forms of polyamory, remain under a cloud of suspicion. Today it is time for polyamorous relationships to come out of the closet and step into the light! The family is changing dramatically throughout the world. It is being redefined by single parents, unmarried couples, gay and lesbian couples, and larger groupings. Over the last 25 years the number of American households headed by a legally married couple has dropped to a mere 50% of all families. Divorce is rampant. Contemporary polyamorous relationships are no more promiscuous and no less stable than couples, and they are not biased toward either gender. Polyies communicate via the Net, gather in discussion groups and potluck suppers, lend support in legal battles, and are beginning to think of themselves as a social movement. Three (or more) is on its way to becoming The Next Big Thing in relationships. But life and love in a polyamorous grouping isn't easy. Soul searching, discussion, and negotiation among the partners naturally takes place. Jealousy, sexual needs, and equality of time and feeling are among the issues that arise. Polyies confront sexual truths that intimidate many others. Honesty and compassion are needed, as well as some knowledge of this dark continent of the erotic. Read the book THREE IN LOVE, by Barbara Foster, Michael Foster, and Letha Hadady, the first and only history and psychology of the menage a trois.

NEW FEATURE OF THREE IN LOVE WEBSITE VISIT THE NEW INTERVIEWS PAGE FOR DISCUSIONS WITH EXPERTS CONCERNING MENAGE A TROIS MANAGEMENT For those of you who have written our message board about your menage dilemmas, we are adding interviews with veterans of three way interactions who generously are willing to share wisdom gained on this emotional battlefield. Some have been wounded in risky skirmishes, only to emerge victorious; others have been bloodied by the complexities and challenges of opening themselves to the heavy fire living and loving a trois draws. Hopefully, their reflections can add valuable insights, even a few guidelines that a fledgling menager involved in a erotic or platonic connection may follow. The authors of Three in Love are not anti-monogamy or promoting any partisan agenda. Rather , they believe that flexibility in relationships can lead to durability or, at the least, an intensity which allows one to interact with a partner(s) at a deeper, more profound level. Some interviews also will touch on general matters related to the polyamory community that will define the landscape of love in our 21st century. Top |
