Fox News Article tying together polyamory and reality dating shows

**rpu3** · 07-22-2008, 03:30 PM

While I think it's a bit of a stretch to try to tie together poly with reality dating shows, at least the article gets polyamory out there in the mainstream a bit more.

Jenny Block, who recently posted on the Board, is also quoted in the article.

Interesting question... watching enough of these reality dating shows I've always wondered when it would happen that someone would chose both of the final options.

I have always thought that Polyamory would have a more vanilla appeal compared with swinging. I mean most folks have and understand very close friendships with the opposite sex, that are not sexual in nature. I would also imagine most everyone would find it easier to go that next step and expose that part of themselves to a close friend verses a relative total stranger. If poly ever got the type of hype swinging gets, we might find more people open to alternative relationships altogether.

That was actually a good article and I've wondered the few times I've watched those shows how they were going to choose between the final two.

There is a show being marketed to the broadcasters and cable companies call Polly and Marie (for Polyamory). Google and watch the trailer. Looks much better then Swingtown.

As a futurist, IMHO there is no question that as people are able to remove cultural conditioning and mapping from the mind and view things fresh that the poly way will be embraced.
