“If we take care of the good stuff there, then the good stuff here is much easier to get.”

“We live in a culture that teaches us that “men” are the sexual aggressors and pursuers. We also live in a world where most women, trans, and non-binary folks have had negative experiences with men who are hitting on them. These factors tend to lead to some big gender differences for those exploring non-monogamy.Cisgender men often struggle when they first enter the world of non-monogamy. Within consensual non-monogamy (CNM) communities, most folks who sleep with cis men choose their partners based on referrals and endorsements. As in the world of business, it truly is who you know. Cis men who have been in the communities longer have dated and interacted with more people, and, therefore, have more word of mouth. It is an unfortunate reality that many, especially cisgender women, will not date men they don’t already know about through their friends and communities.So, if you’re a cis man exploring CNM, expect that it may take a while before you start seeing the kind of attention that others get. Focus on being kind, respectful, and honest. Respect the needs and boundaries of everyone with whom you interact. Spend lots of time getting to know other people simply as people – especially of your preferred gender to date – and form genuine friendships and connections with them free from any pressure to become sexual.”

I believe I was not brought into this world to turn complacent women into passionate women, but rather to turn passionate women into goddesses.”

“Being in a relationship, that’s something you choose. Being friends, that’s just something you are. I’d pick you. Fuck it, I do pick you. I want you to come over to my house in twenty years with your dude and your adopted kids and I want our fucking kids to hang out and I want to, like, drink wine and talk about the Middle East or whatever the fuck we’re gonna do when we’re old. We’ve been friends too long to pick, but if we could pick, I’d pick you.”

“Being a sickle cell warrior doesn’t change who you are. So why do you long for the acceptance of others who fail to realize that there’s more to you?

Just continue to strive for bigger goals and never stop being you.”
