Information
| Blog Name: | Not Your Mother's Playground |
| Url: | http://notourmothersplayground.com |
| Language: | English |
| Topics: | open marriage, polyamory, sexuality |
| Description: | This blog is written for the 21st century modern man or woman. Sure, there are lots of people of all walks of life in open relationships, but one thing I have found from experience is that there aren’t that many resources for folks like me, and maybe like you. Regular folks, who may or may not be in a relationship, but who might not participate in drum circles; cuddle fests or other (considered) hippy activities, at least not all the time anyways. Folks who might work office jobs. Go home to their cats, their kids, or their primary partners. Folks who might sometimes like going to IKEA, and Home Depot. Hang out with their “normal” friends. Folks who can relate to more than one type of person in social situations. Folks like me. And maybe folks like you. This blog, and it’s accompanying book are not intended to be a bash on anyone who might identify a little more with a non-traditional view of the world. Certainly if you are in, or considering, an open relationship or customized fidelity, chances are your views are just a tad non-traditional to start with. This blog is for those of us who just might not list renaissance fares, clothing optional triad relationships, and LARPing as our favorite activities when filling in our Facebook profiles. This isn’t to say that this book is meant for a limited audience, more specifically it’s meant for a larger percentage of society than many other books on the same subject. Society today appears to be trying slowly to get over its qualms with sex and gender politics, while at the same time it embraces raunch culture while telling kids not to take part in the activities that said culture promotes. For twenty years, the news about sex has all been bad. How can we then, as responsible adults even begin to consider alternative views to love, sex and relating with others? By recognizing that we, and not society, are in control of our brains, hearts and bodies. By breaking down the social conditioning that has caused so much infidelity, heartache and divorce for those around us. By understanding that we are valued, respected, loved and thought of as all kinds of awesome, even if our partners may enjoy the company of another occasionally. I invite you into my ongoing journey. To experience the ups and downs that have helped me grow and become who I am today, and will continue to change and challenge who I am tomorrow. |

I am not an expert.
Recently I’ve gotten a lot of varied feedback about my online presence. Sharing a lot of your life with the web leaves you open to input, good and bad, something I knew when starting this site at a friends’ suggestion: Hey! You should start a blog! Yes. It was that simple and un-thought out. I don’t think that [...]

Realization: My own practical demons
Since writing the post ‘Realizations: I Just Wanna’ Have Fun’ I’ve realized something. Where Steph has often cited cost and practicality for reasons that we don’t try new things, events, places, etc. … I’ve always – in my own mind – cited the need for sleep as a reason not to fuck. And as much as [...]

Stuck in Christmas purgatory
On Sunday we made plans to go to the Santa Claus Parade with friends for something to do. Now normally I’m anti parade. I hate that it happens so early – November 15th? – but it makes sense as it’s cold in December and it’s a kick off to the gift buying season. (Another thing [...]

I’m all for spontaneity …
… but sometimes I think it’s a good idea to schedule things in your life that you wouldn’t normally. Like fights and sex. After an exhausting, emotional yesterday there was no way I was opening my legs. I wasn’t interested but I knew I would be Saturday morning. There’s something about lazing around on a Saturday [...]

Realizations – I just wanna’ have fun
I have a personal rule that I try to follow as much as possible. I don’t like to blog when I’m angry or emotional. I know I’ve done it in the past, but I highly prefer not because then I hit you folks with emotional diarrhea and I embarrass myself on the off chance that [...]
