I recently saw an episode of the Lex Friedman podcast featuring Aelle.  Aella is a sex researcher, writer, and sex worker which makes for an interesting combination.  This is a very interesting conversation which can be seen at: 

I checked out her website blog and saw an interesting article on Polyamory Vs Monogamy: How Relationships Differ, below is my summary of her blog, but for those of you who like to get into the data, go to her blog at:

The article "Polyamory vs. Monogamy: How Relationships Differ" discusses the differences between polyamorous and monogamous relationships. Polyamory refers to the practice of having multiple romantic partners, while monogamy involves being committed to only one person. Aella argues that both types of relationships have their unique benefits and challenges, and that choosing between them ultimately depends on personal preferences and values.

The article delves into the dynamics of both types of relationships, highlighting how polyamory allows for greater emotional and sexual freedom, but can also require more communication and boundary-setting to avoid jealousy and conflict. Monogamy, on the other hand, may provide greater stability and intimacy but can also be limiting in terms of emotional and sexual exploration.

Aella emphasizes that there is no right or wrong way to approach relationships, and that individuals should prioritize their own happiness and well-being. They also note that it is possible for people to transition between polyamorous and monogamous relationships over time, depending on their changing needs and desires.

Overall, the article provides a thoughtful exploration of the differences between polyamory and monogamy, and encourages readers to consider their own values and preferences when choosing how to approach romantic relationships.
