Orgasmaphoria Perspective

Editorial View & What It Contributes

Taormino’s extensive survey examines the full spectrum of consensual non-monogamy—including swinging, open marriages, polyamory, and solo non-monogamy—through dozens of candid real-world interviews. It offers pragmatic guidance on establishing ground rules, managing jealousy, safer sex agreements, and renegotiating terms over time.
