On the path to re-programming

Ethical sluttery aka Polyamory

I knew nothing of this until today. I’m not like ‘OMG’, because nothing much surprises me these days about human nature. The link to the full story will only be live for about 24 hours, so tough if you’re late. The excerpt from The Times is below (full credits toRead More
