“Are We Wrong about Who We Are?” by Veronica Monet (Self-Awareness, Sex and Culture, Consciousness) 6/1/13
I find this brilliant and fabulous and could hardly agree more.

“Why you shouldn’t (and should) be monogamous” by Tauriq Moosa (Non-Monogamy, Relationship, Sex and Culture) 5/13/13
I am a huge fan of what I interpret as the open, sensible approach I see this taking toward the topic at hand.

“The truth about female desire: It’s base, animalistic and ravenous” by Tracy Clark-Flory (Sex and Culture, Gender, Relationship, Non-Monogamy) 6/1/13
I don’t quite even know how to say how awesome I find this. I don’t feel surprised by it at all, but I will admit it feels somewhat nice to feel not like the “odd exception” were what I interpret this piece as expressing to be true. In any case, I love the idea of examining this kind of thing more instead of just assuming that what we think we know is the case (especially when, to me, it has so often seemed to not be).
