Excellent Podcast! Thanks so much. I just posted about it at http://www.theblogblog.net !
I question where the number of poly people came from for calculating the average distance between poly people. I’d have estimated the average distance to have been a lot less.
In my experience, we also tend to appear in clusters – so it would be more useful (but more difficult) to work out the median distance.
Great episode though.
Hi! How r u?
nice site!
How about amante as a term for a partner or love(r)? My spanish teacher suggested it, because it’s more adult than novio/novia (boyfriend/girlfriend) or enamorado/enamorada, and it’s completely gender neutral.
