3) PolyLove
Description
In this investigative documentary, we explore non-monogamy and the journey to define a relationship. Statistically, more young people are now saying 'I don't' or 'I delay' than 'I do'. For non-monogamous relationships, loving someone enough to set them free isn't just a trite metaphor, it's essential for personal and relationship growth. This program looks at why 'cheating' is more socially forgivable than discussing the option of non-monogamy or...

Sand also questioned monogamy, fidelity, and monastic celibacy. She later made an unsuccessful attempt to revise the book and...

Since Darwin's day, we've been told that sexual monogamy comes naturally to our species. But this narrative is collapsing. Here, renegade thinkers Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá, while debunking almost everything we "know" about sex, offer a bold alternative explanation. Ryan and Jethá's central contention is that human beings evolved in egalitarian groups that shared food, child care, and, often, sexual partners. Weaving together convergent,...
