Via the other Alan in PolyMedia, this is SMOKIN' hot how-to-have-a-poly-conversation. At least from her part. The guy does "dorky not quite with it" pretty well.

I wonder if this is a guy thing

I didn't like it. I didn't like her or the way she handled it. It felt like manipulation or some level of coercion rather than communication. "I'm going to periodically flood your brain with hormones to make you stay in this conversation, clearly give you vibes I'm upset with what you've said (including hitting you, albeit with a pillow) and then tell you I'm not angry (no matter what my face says) unless I use the words that I'm angry. And then, before I really get an answer about if you can deal with non-monogamy I'm going to ramp you up a great deal, and sit in your lap to get a clear answer on if you can deal with me."

No, having been in his position and had someone use turning me on to get me to say yes to something and not give me room to think this does not feel good and I don't like this as an example.

Nice. If you haven't run across it (since it is buried in the .. money section at CNN) http://money.cnn.com/2015/01/25/technology/polyamory-silicon-valley/index.html?iid=TL_Popular
