      <description>&lt;p&gt;Chapter ONE&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oz&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Everything was different. I mean everything. Maybe it was better that way; we were so out of our element that we couldn’t compare anything to our home life in suburban Arlington, Virginia. It’s a funny story how we got to a single day that rocked our world, but you can assume we did it on a lark and without a bit of planning. Good thing—we probably never would have come if we knew what we were in for, especially when we think of Isabella. God bless that woman, I do love her like crazy. But if she knew we were going to be having sex in public in a city of 65,000 naked people well, of course, she would have thought I was out of my mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ok, so I guess I should tell you how we got to the nude city and the public sex. Isabella and I were on our summer vacation in France. It was our second time, and we just loved touring romantic, enchanting, love-affirming Paris and the countryside charm of Provence with its stately chateaus, tempting vineyards and rolling, flowered, painting-inspiring hillsides. This time, we went to the South of France, and we were a little bolder than then our first, itinerary-designed trip.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We rented a car and stopped wherever we liked, stayed where we could, and moved on. A little off the typical tourist-track of the chic French Riviera was a charming Mediterranean town, Bouchon—a city dating back to the Ancient Greeks from 500 BC. According to the brochures, Bouchon was one of the oldest towns in France. The village had ruins and forts and winding stone streets along a canal with movie-setting barges. And so it was in the tourist office—the regional government tourist office—where we learned about the “ciudad naturiste,” or the “nude city.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the brochure, the French government designated the ciudad a nudist colony in 1973. The rather absurd irony that the government had founded the damn place and the pamphlet was on the rack between a vineyard tour and a boardwalk with kid rides made...&lt;a href=https://www.nonmonogamy.com/blog/excerpt-let-s-date-together&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Polyamory is considered by psychologists to be a type of consensual non-monogamy – open relationships where each partner has consent to see other people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amymuise.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Muise-Laughton-Moors-Impett-2018-advanced-online.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Research has found&lt;/a&gt; that about 21% of us will engage in some form of consensual non-monogamy at some point in our lives and about 5% of people are in a relationship like this right now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=https://www.nonmonogamy.com/blog/the-unexpected-benefits-of-more-than-one-lover&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Updated Estimate of Number of Non-monogamous people in the us</title>
      <pubDate>Fri, 22 Nov 2019 20:06:35 -0800</pubDate>
      <link>https://www.nonmonogamy.com/blog/updated-estimate-of-number-of-non-monogamous-people-in-the-us</link>
      <guid>https://www.nonmonogamy.com/blog/updated-estimate-of-number-of-non-monogamous-people-in-the-us</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This is an easy to read,  well-cited article. About 4 to 5% of the US adult population are currently involved in a consensual non-monogamous relationship. That doesn't sound like a huge number, however if you were to consider how that percentage is represented in married or committed couples, other experts, such as Barry McCarthy, put the number around 15-20%. So, that is 15-20% of all married or committed couples have a consensual non-monogamous agreement. And the article reminds us what kinds of relationships CNM includes. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=https://www.nonmonogamy.com/blog/updated-estimate-of-number-of-non-monogamous-people-in-the-us&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;</description>
